made these for my Buddy 170, but they may be able to be used on other scooters So here goes Foot pegs My MATERIALS 3/16 X 1in. X 4 foot is stainless steel flat iron. (Free local junk yard) Foot pegs, local bike shop. Same price as his, but no shipping! Longer metric bolts. (M6-1.0x30mm) Auto Zone. Small pieces of Velcro. Now the fun part. Measures, cut, bend the center piece. Measured from different points to get the bolt down holes right. Drill holes 2 sizes bigger to allow for a little adjustment. Did not like where my feet were going to be, They were back to far so I cut 2 pieces 7 inches long wielded then to the cross piece. Next thing they were a little to low, so I notched the 7 in. pieces and bent them up a little. Next the pegs slanted down a little so I twisted them up a little. Then said that’s good enough, and welded then solid where I had notched them. Work grate! you can not put a lot of weight on them, but they are grate for stretching out your legs. The Velcro went in the inside of the bend of the cross piece, so nothing would scuff the plastic. I am enclosing pictures from Photo bucket, hope they turn out. Up date: Added a clip on each side to hook on the frame. This took the stress off the two floor board bolts. Worked great! Project done. Hope this gives other riders some ideas! issue31

Would love to have a set on my 170i but am not skilled in that sort of construction as you are. Looks great.

Great. I was settled in with the way I had to ride. (Just kidding, great idea.)
Of course you got me thinking on how I can make it look close to stock as possible. *Humm…*
