If you just broke off the toe peg and the shifter assembly is still intact, any HD toe peg should thread right in. Or, I have used the appropriately sized threaded bolt with a double nut and a little loctite. Plus a fuel line slid over the body of the bolt so it looks like a regular toe peg. Total cost less than 1 smacker.

Think of it as an opportunity to upgrade from the boomerang shift linkage to the post 2000 shifter.

1+ for Kilroy's suggestion.

I had easy access to a machinist when I broke mine (the first time) he turned down a bit of stainless for me real quick then fitted a properly threaded tab into it to fit into the shifter. That tab eventually broke off, on the freeway... at speed, there was no recovering it.

So I bought a few stainless thread inserts and he made me another. Went with the stainless thread since it's a little softer than the standard insert which was a little brittle and eventually just snapped off. The stainless threads are holing up much better and I believe will be more forgiving in this application.

If you have the boomerang shifter, well that's your choice, I swapped my toe peg to the new shifter when I upgraded to the new Buell shifter, much more positive shifting, and that thing always bugged me, flopping and bouncing around against the inside of my left ankle.

Stock Buell aluminum polishes well, there's the tab my brother-in-law made for me too.
