On my new old 2001, I vowed not to farkle it, but to ride it. That lasted less than 20 miles. Inspired by other posts on this forum, yesterday, I installed fat foot pedals purchased on eBay from Global Motorsports, Laguna Hills, California for $19.95 plus $6.90 shipping. (I don't see an eBay listing for them today, however.) These are the metal castings with A 3 on the right and 3 B on the left. I thought they would be black, but they are gray, which is fine with me.
They come with two holes for the return spring tang. As previously posted by others, the left one goes right on. However, neither hole on the right one is in the correct location. My cordless drill and tired bits were not up to drilling a new hole like most people do and I was reluctant to snip the tang shorter as has been suggested elsewhere. I always like to be able to go back. Instead, in a moment of genius (Or laziness -- there's a fine line there.) I rotated the spring end to end and put the bent tang into the peg hole and let the straight tang rest on the bracket where it fell.
In the future, I might bend the tang down, but it does not stick up far enough to catch on anything and the spring action works great. Now all I have to do is take them for a ride and try them out.
