The stock footpegs are pretty spindly looking and I heard elsewhere that YZ450 footpegs were pretty close. I found these stainless steel ones on ebay for $25.
The foot pegs took some machining to make them fit. They came with a 8mm mount bore. The XT is a 12mm shaft so that bore had to get drilled out. I also had to grind down the mounting boss to be more narrow. Finally, I had to weld in some new pivot stop points so that they pegs would sit flat and allow some rotation upwards.
The gear shift lever is also new. I came across an aluminum shift lever on The Vintage Spoke. It was supposed to fit XT, SR, TT500's but it required a bit of bending to get it to fit tighter to the engine side cover.
Looks pretty rad now. Little more MX influence...
