One of the only things that has really bothered me about the bone-stock Grom has been those terrible squishy narrow footpegs that always feel like you're about to slip off. I had a pair of OEM titanium footpegs from a 2006 Yamaha YZ450f dirtbike laying around so I decided to see if I could make them fit.

First thing that had to be done was to shorten the shaft of the footpeg down to .895" or so (pic 1 is starting length, pic 2 is shortened)

Second was too remove some the factory Yamaha up-stop from the foot pegs to allow them to swing up and back in the factory Honda footpeg mounts (pic 3 shows the material removed).

Last step was shortening the OEM Honda footpeg spring by a coil to make it fit. The spring will not use the hole in the footpeg mount any more but will register against the wall instead and works great (pic 3 shows how much I took off).

Attached are a few pics that show the steps. You can probably do this with most dirtbike footpegs but the Yamaha ones are cool because they're cast titanium so they are light and a good width (and will make sweet sparks if you get them on the pavement!) plus they are very easy to find for cheap. They make a huge difference for me in control and would I would recommend the mod.

Nice, but how does the vibration feel.. I like the stock ones because the rubber blocks out all engine vibration..

Also rack looks sick ... Who makes it

I like that rack too. Where did you get it?

Those pegs look pretty nice. As for vibration I installed Fastway pegs on my BMW R1200GS. I didn't notice any extra vibration when switching between the stock pegs with rubber and the stainless solid pegs.

Great job

I personally like to feel what the bike is doing. So vibration is no factor for me.
Nice DIY mod for those that don't want to spent $80 on TBR pegs or other aftermarket's

Thanks for the comments guys, I haven't noticed extra vibrations coming through my feet but it could be an issue for long rides I suppose. The extra feedback you get is worth it.

For those interested, I make the cargo rack: 2014+ Honda Grom Cargo Rack System

I wanted something to mount a rear box (and easily mount things to the side) so for me this rack is way better than the small tube style one.

This is a cool cheap mod if you happen to have a set of those pegs lying around. Otherwise they are about $97 EACH.

WR450F pegs go for about $37 each. Not titanium but another good option for solid pegs.

I have Driven rear sets with solid pegs. I can feel the vibration if I think about it but truly peg vibration with solid pegs is not an issue. IMO

You're right it's only a cheap mod if you have them or pick up a used set. Ebay usually has a few sets because they are not particularly good dirtbike pegs (too narrow and not very grippy)

I bought a pair of 07 Ti YZ250F pegs on Ebay last week $37 shipped with pins and springs!

I have your fekit,, took me a min to matchup you and the fe kit, as of now shit looks good fits good, good quality all around

Right on, thanks for the props FXCLM5 and hope you like the pegs offroadtoys!

After riding on them for a few weeks, I can notice a bit of vibration coming up through the pegs but not enough to bother me. Still would highly recommend the mod.
