Any recommendations as to preferred sources for the subject parts? I have very sloppy peg mount bushings that allow the peg to droop to a ridiculous angle and would like to correct this without resorting to hard mounts. Foot pegs are needed as well, as I got the bike with billet pegs that are a little out of character with the rest of the bike.

Foot Pegs and Peg Mount Bushings

Did you need just the peg itself, or the entire assy that bolts to the frame? I think I can help either way...
Far as rubbers, about all I can offer is avoid the MikesXS ones. I've no personal experience, but I've read here multiple times that they wear out pretty quick... like a season or two of riding.

There was a good source of those rubber bushes and other parts - Sumo - but unfortunately the company closed down last year. I only mention because it is possible that whoever manufactured the rubber parts might have another outlet?
Marty, where can you get OE rubber parts?
You can still get the OEM front peg rubbers. They're pretty spendy, but that's what I used on my resto. They're good rubbers and if you factor in they'll prolly last for your lifetime, the cost ain't that bad... jus' sayin'...

Watch eBay. Even good used ones are better than the re-pops. I recently scored a couple N.O.S. XS1100 footpeg assemblies for $11 each. I don't have an 1100 but the footpeg and rubber is the same.
Only 1978 and 1979. 80 & 81 are different.
PartShark is my current favorite OEM vendor. That changes from time to time. From Canada, it’s not so easy to recommend.
In keeping with the theme,
What's the trick to getting the footpeg rubbers off their metal core without tearing them up?

There’s a metal tab on the bottom side. You must lift the rubber over it.
Drop it in boiling water for about a minute or three. Rubber turns into silly putty. Comes off just that slick...
For this price you could buy 8 pair at the same cost of the partzilla pair

These guys get their rubbers from the same place, (PGM), as Sumo rubber used to.
