I am in the middle of building mild rearset footpeg plates, and now I realize that the stock/ OEM stud+cap nut setup may become a problem for my ankles....
One solution would be to cut off the studs, then drill&tap M10 holes, and use shouldered M10 flat head or domed head bolts instead.
Now I wonder if there is enough material for this, or is the footpeg mount area just 2 fairly thin plates, with the original (12 mm dia/ M10 thread) stud all the way trough, then welded to both the outside and inside?
I guess I could just turn some solid bungs, say 16 mm OD, with M10 internal thread, and weld them in, after removing the original ones and drilling out to 16 mm.
All opinions or suggestions appreciated!
