 Posted: 15:34 - 01 May 2014  Post subject: Pillion peg/hanger repair? *Update - Sorted* |
 |
|
This is for a Varadero XL125V.
Pillion peg hanger broken in crash. Coming up to MOT so needs repair.
Can anyone see if/how this can be done?
The broken off metal bit is missing in action. I understand local breaker can provide replacement peg.
Replacement hanger is apparently available but expensive (well outside budget of getting this through MOT). Cheaper than Honda original though

...or, lateral thinking, is there any way to fix Varadero seat so it doesn't have pillion carrying ability and therefore doesn't need pillion pegs for MOT?
Open to ideas and suggestions.
Thanks in anticipation 
--- now sorted - see my post below with picture of new peg.

If you're not too concerned about aesthetics, you could lop-off what's left of the peg holder-on-er, drill the hanger and attach one of these.

I think we have a winner
Thanks for the advice, I obviously had a blindspot in sorting this.
What's not to like. Cheap and cheerful and my lad gets to play with an angle grinder. That must be his second favourite tool in the box behind a hammer 
I'll need to remind him it's probably best to drill a smaller pilot hole first rather than going for the full 10mm straight off the bat. However, please correct me if that's the wrong approach for this alloy.

I wouldn't want to pay more than £20 just for the hanger.......but I don't know how available they are for this bike. |
These hangers are quite big pieces of metal, covering the swingarm bolt and including both sets of pegs, rider and pillion. As in...

image borrowed for here for illustration
I checked and there was a left hand set on ebay sold last year for around £50. So with a breaker markup and another year on, plus seem hard to get hold of, I'm not too surprised at price I was quoted (I think it's still high though!).

Thanks for all the advice above.
Issue now sorted.
Obtained pegs from eBay for very few pennies as suggested by Raffles.
Shorter screw part, 10mm, so needed to drill out existing 8mm hole for peg pin.
This is what it looks like now...

...it's secure and works just fine. Although as it's on a L plate 125cc it'll never get used. Useful bungie point though
