More foot pegs
I would like to thank jd for the info and idea for foot pegs. THANK YOU!
My list of materials is about the same as what jb had only I made mine different. 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. (M6-1.0x 30 mm) 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, 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! Like jd said 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 FLICKER, hope they turn out.
