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. Kilroy | ||

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. -Mike | ||

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