Ty250A Footrest Kit

Just bought a set of TY175 footrest mounts from Sammy Miller and received them yesterday.

I mentioned to them that I had read that they were a bit weak and they were most indignant saying that they had no reports of this!

The backing plates are 5mm thick with the sections that hold the footrest 4mm thick. The bracket quality is OK but the footrests are obviously made to a budget with rust showing on the internals of the chromed footrests on receipt.

To be fair to SM products, if they don't get reports of faults they can't improve them.

The TY175 SM pegs and brackets are not as big as the TY250 set and therefore do not bend as the footrest mount is farther forward. The TY250 set has the footrest mount further back and that tends to bend in towards the frame, however it can be bent back without too much hassle.

I'm not sure a response to an old post will show up.  I like this simple style of mount and want to do something similar.  What did you do to accept the lower bolt in the frame?  The tube is quite thin.  Did you weld in a threaded plug?  Was it tricky to avoid interference with the kickstand?

This is an old photo of one of my TY250s. The lower cross tube on some models of the TY250 has a threaded hole, as this one has, which I think has a TY250B frame. People who have a TY250 without the threaded hole fit a threaded steel plug into the tube. Some are welded, some with an interference fit.

The stand is not an issue on this bike. It is mounted to the right hand side of the swingarm and does not interfere with the footpeg. It sounds like your TY250 might be an A model with the stand mounted to the main frame under the left side footpeg.

This is an old photo. It now has countersunk internal hex titanium screws instead of those external hex head screws.

Yes, mine is a 250A.  The kick stand mounts to the main frame and there is not a lot of space to move the peg.  Thanks.  Did you use weld on peg mounts or make your own?

That U shaped bracket came with the footpegs

Pictures and details were helpful  The kickstand on the TY250A does make it a bit crowded but at least it is easy to figure out placement.  There were not many options.
