It's often said that the cheapest part on a BMW bike is the rider. Razz With the exception of liquids and tires, I'm a firm believer in that.

Wanna make you pegs rubbers last twice as long? Well, in case you haven't noticed, only the front part of them actually wears. By swapping the left and right peg rubbers periodically you can even the wear and make them last twice as long.

On two valve Ks, the front and rear use the same rubber so you can swap front and rear as well and get four times the longevity if you ride mostly one up.

How's that for cheap? Laughing

(Also, like handlebar grips, aerosol hairspray makes getting them on very easy and then it sets up to help hold them in place.)
