Hello TW freaks. I have had my 2001 TW for a couple months now and it is certainly everything I knew it would be! Hooray! I love this thing. I have only ridden my WR250f once since I got it! So I am interested in hearing what larger pegs you guys have used. I have a hard time deciding what to get next! Rear rack? Front tire? smaller tail light AAARGH! After Thursdays 30 miles of singletrack and 1 sore toe I am thinking about footpegs. I know the pegs will not give me more ground clearance but more grip for sure.

p.s. pic of my bike posting soon. Have very much enjoyed all the info and ride pics here on the forum.
Rich, I checked out the links you posted and it seems everyone liked the D2Moto footpegs. Went to D2Moto site but no TW200 pegs listed. The prices listed for some other bikes were like $6.99. Is this for real?

PS Sorry about the pants remark on the chain thread. Hope I didn't offend anyone but the picture was way too funny to not comment. I'll buy ya a beer next trip to the dry side.
Fleabay ones work til they dont. Mine are still in good shape but I bring my stockers just in case. Just another thing to throw in the tool bag with my stock shifter and other random things.
I had they same experience on the D2moto site as Dangle. So I assume some pegs listed for other bikes will work on the TW does anyone know for sure wich ones fit the TW. I cant reallly afford the fancy ones right now......
I doubt that D2Moto is going to restock this foot peg. They dropped the "out of stock" and took it off their site. I'm late to the game so I missed getting these, but if I could get a pair of them... I could have someone source them in China, or even get a price for the tooling to make them. It would be nice if we could find the factory that was making them. Someone in China has the original tooling!
Better yet would be to make it here! We don't need a full container of these. This is the kind of part that some job shop in America could have made for us at a good price not that long ago. It's freaking cast iron.
Anyone know anyone in the cast iron business? It would be nice to knock off a cheap Chinese part and make a good one locally.
I have a set of D2 Moto pegs I bought 3 years ago on Mrs. Trip's 2007. Those pegs are very good.
I ordered a pair of the pegs currently on Ebay for my new to me 2007 TW. They are die cast zinc aluminum...total crap. I sent them back to the vendor for my money back. They are dangerous...they might be alright for a child on a PW50, but they are not safe for a 200 lb adult standing on them over rough terrain.
I bought a new pair of Super Stock pegs since they were the only choice left. They are great, made in USA. I'm glad I got them they are well worth the money.
That's the IMS brand? That's not a lot of choices, but we takes what we gets, I guess. Such a big price difference from the D2Moto product, it better be good.
a year ago I bought a pair of steel chinese pegs from ebay. I weight 300+lb and haven't had a problem with them. in fact my L mount recently bent against a rock without any damage to the peg.
I spoke with the D2moto manager yesterday about their footpegs. From what she told me is they are going to receive the next shipment around mid of Dec. The new footpegs are made with some stronger materiel, and I guess this is a great news for us.
I modified the originals as they are hard on the feet while standing offroad. If others are having a hard time finding what they want maybe a buddy with a welder would be willing to help out. It costs very little for the metal, 2 feet of 1" x .125" flatbar and some paint. The fabrication can be done by hand with basic hand tools. Mine are as tough as the originals and are a lot more comfortable. I know cause I've tried to break them a bunch of times.
