Stunt protection

So I've started my quest to learn wheelies, having come from the sports bike scene where it certainly isn't as easy as it is on my SMR511. Also, work has quietened down now so I can afford to get a little hurt without it being a deal breaker for my employer. Not that I have any intention of it!

Anyway, I've been looking around to put on some stunt pegs in place of foot pegs as well as some on the axles and some at the rear, in place of pillions. It's mostly to add some protection to the bike more than a serious commitment to trying to become a stunt god and the inevitable smashing into the ground. I would just rather spend a couple hundred bucks on pegs than a couple thousand on new crankcase covers etc.

I've done a lot of searching online and can't find anything made for the Huskys. 50stunt have lots of stunt pegs but nothing for us. Does anybody know where I could get some, or if I would have to have some custom brackets made to fit them or something?

I know its a pretty specialised request but there's a lot of people on here with specialist knowledge!

Learning to do wheelies ...What a sweet thing to say ...

--

Don't forget to add the stand-up to the list of coolest wheelies to perform ...

Examples of bits use broken from when things went wheelie bad:
- Snapped rear fender and associated bits like indicators, number plate etc (flipped backwards)
- Scarring on the side it falls on. Swingarm, wheel nuts, plastics, pegs and especially the hand guards and edge of the bars
- Pride
- Undergarments

Also I can say is you will almost certainly come off at some point if you are trying to learn sustained wheelies. Avoid high speed and flipping it. Especially on the tar, it hurts.

Yeah no doubt. I always wear full gear, including boots and a back protector, but I know that eventually the bike will hit the ground. That's why I'm looking for some protection for it!

Ok, what I meant from my list was that those are the bits I wrecked when I have had wheelie accidents. I have no idea where you would buy protection for those bits. Your best bet would be to keep both wheels on the ground!

Yeah, dude has got skill. His youtube is "rieguy" Don't remember is name on here. I think it's just RStephen or something obvious.

Ah yes. Well I'm hoping the right stuff might protect all that?
Was it expensive to replace all the bits?

I've made a lot of parts over the past few years to keep my bikes safe. The lower pegs work the best to keep the shifter and brake pedal from cracking the cases. I've been stunting forever and learned the hard way. On my track bikes I scrape the pegs a lot so I made the carbon cover to be there just in case of a crash. I might have some laying around still.

So I take it you had all this made up, rather than off the shelf? Can you let me know how you did it? You dont have any design plans lying around do you?

Thanks!

I made everything myself, I like building the parts as much as riding. Usually just one off stuff. what exactly are you looking for?

Well can you give me some pointers on your lower pegs? What did you use for the actual pegs? And as it looks like you made the bracket up, can you give me some guidance on what you did? By the looks of it you worked out how long they would need to protrude to provide the right protection, so how far was that?

Have you ever had rear pegs fitted in place of pillions? I've looked at 50stunt and there isn't anything suitable. Would one of those be adaptable? Or did you find it unnecessary?

What axle sliders are you running? And why did you go for the rear ones to be offset and off the axle?

And your rear foot hoop - is that another custom? It kind of looks like one from 50stunt made for the Aprilia.

Do you find the handlebars, axle sliders and foot pegs give you all the protection you need?

Love your videos by the way. You and that Russian bloke seem to be the only ones I can find that stunt them. Is there a reason for that?

I appreciate your help!

I hate to say it but not everyone likes or can afford a Husky so not many of them out there being stunted. Everything has to be one off which is a lot of work for most people. The rear bar i made myself I'll attach pics. the pegs attach to that and the sub frame. I like the rear axle block slider because you can get the rear wheel off easier. And the pegs are all custom 50stunt pegs i had Ryan Moore special make for me, and I adapted them to work. PM me for details on everything else.

That sure is some gorgeous work man.

any chance that you post some more pics on how that foothoop/wheeliebar is attached to subframe? (ps. i know that im 3 years late lol)
