• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Pivot Pegz on a TR650

If you have put Pivot Pegz on a TR650:
  1. What Pivot Pegz part number did you use?
  2. How involved was the install compared to a 'normal' install? (they do not officially support the TR650 yet, so modifications might need to be made).
While I have not installed Pivot Pegz on my TR650, I did attempt it, the 09MK2 Pivot Pegz off of my 2006 TE250 did *not* work.
 
Hi Coffee,

Check out farkles...post 84 from F1U http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/650-terra-farkles.28445/page-5

They fit with no Mods I believe.

Mine were from my TE 510 (PP-35MK2 #35/1089M1109)

Mods I did was to take a grinder to allow the spring to sit flush and a little bit off the ends so they would fit in the space.

But F1U removed the piece I cut all together. Also after seeing his install I could have lowered mine by 1/2" if I just swamped them from side to side.:excuseme:

Link to the exact post on Faboneup's write up in the farkles thread (as opposed to a link to the page). Pivot Pegz 13MK3:

http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/650-terra-farkles.28445/page-5#post-291945

Trying to collect information that has been posted about this specific topic, but it seems only 2 have done this, and Pivot Pegz has not updated their fitment chart since last July... and of course the TR650 is not listed.
 
So we are saying either of the two models will work:

PP-13MK3
PP-35MK2

Any clue if there are more? What exactly makes them model specific? Forgive my ignorance, but I am new to pivot pegz.

I will know more soon, but from what I can tell the number (13 or 35) determines fitment, and either number can have MK2 or MK3.

If so... then it is possible all of these could work. I am checking with the usa importer.

PP-13MK2
PP-13MK3
PP-35MK2
PP-35MK3

Regardless, I have really bad leg cramps on the 650 because the pegs are so close to the seat (age thing)... so I need to do something soon.
 
I too would like a wider stance. Let us know what you find Coffee. Base on the pics I was worried the pivot pegs might not offer any additional width.
 
The difference in the MK2 and MK3 is the width. The MK3's are simply wider. So the first number is definitively the fitment. I'm willing to bet there is more that fit.

That said, our friends at AltRider sell PivotPegz, and they have a TR650 on site. Maybe they could give us some hard data if the importers don't work out.
 
The 35's I had from my TE510 were a bit wide (sorry no picture right now, at work) But I had to grind the end-end measurement to make them fit into the clamps on the frame.
I like what F1U did, swamping sides because it actually lowers the pegz another 1/2" or so. Every little bit helps.
:cheers:

Get back to work! :D

With regards to lowering:
  • I took off my TR650 foot peg, and a pivot peg of my te250 (which would not work on the 650 for several reasons)
  • Compared them on a flat surface
  • And when the pivot peg was 'high' position, the pivot peg was about 0.4" lower than the stock 650 foot peg.
  • If I were to put my pivot peg in the 'low' position by following the instructions here then the pivot peg would be about 0.8" lower (best guess).
  • I do not believe there is any reason to swap the pegs from one side to the other (actually I am not sure how that would help, or work, cause I would think they would be upside down).
 
It all has to do with the spring being on top as F1U has his.
Or with mine spring is on the bottom.

So, A while back I emailed Pivot Pegz to see if they were progressing with fitment for the TR, got no response. Absolutely zip. So after umming and arring for a bit I asked my bike shop to get me in a set of 13Mk3 pegs. They got them in for me, but said that Pivot Pegs initially refused to sell them to the shop, as they do not have a fitment for the bike, sprouting off no waranty coverage for modifications and no guarantee of fitment. I explained to my bike shop that no modification of the pegs was necessary, only a change to the existing bolt on the bike. Now that I have the pegs I can see the only thing that needs to be swapped around from left to right, is the spring, and only if you want them that fraction lower. The rest of the assembly stays bog standard.
I will be sending them detailed photos of my set up, and if they want to see my bike in person, I'll ride it to their factory for them to look at first hand. Maybe then they'll update their fitment chart which is approaching 2 years out of date

Love the product and they are fitted to my Terra, BUT.....

While you're at the factory how about asking why I can import their stuff back from the US way cheaper than buying it here in OZ. Fair bloody dinkim and don't take that darn lame excuse of that it's all because of GST or bullshit warehousing costsThey're ripping their own countrymen off, bastards****************************************!

Rant over.

Cheers,
