cubbon77 Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hi, My bike is MY 05 4RT Are there different hangers for different years of 4rt's? I bought some S3 hardrock pegs yesterday at a trials shop in Yorkshire, they said they would fit. It snot looking like they do. The hangers are already bent so if I bought later model hangers will the new pegs fit? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj65 Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Part number for a 2005 bike: 50600-NN4-000 50700-NN4-000 Part number for a 2014 bike: 50600-NN4-D00 50700-NN4-D00 The D in the last three digits donates a modification, I don't know what's different, could be colour or shape. Why don't they fit? If it's because the foot rest are tilting up (not flat) that's normal for S3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubbon77 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Yes the footrests won't sit flat. I'm annoyed I was sold them now. Is there anyway of fitting them or send them back for a refund? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 I've had the same problem. I had to file a bit of the back of the footrest were they touch the hanger. It's also possible that the corners of the back of the footrest, touch the inside corners of the hangers. Here you can file a bit of the corners of the hangers.

ross brown Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Same. I filed my S3 Hardrocks until they sat flat. 10 minute job with a hand file. The peg first touches an inner corner of the hanger (rather than being stopped by the back of the hanger) so very little metal needs to be filed down from the peg before the it sits more horizontal. I have dodgy knees and find the flatter peg attitude is easier on my legs and makes it easier for me to turn my feet on the pegs.

johnnyboxer Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 I had the same with S3 alloys and returned them I now have Apico alloy ones fitted & they are flat After spending £70+ on the S3 alloys, i didn't want the faff of filing them - to be fair to S3 they do state the pegs have a 15 degree tilt and Bou likes it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubbon77 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Excellent. Thanks for the answers. I'll get the file out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross brown Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I now have Apico alloy ones fitted and they are flat Funny you say that. I rode a Beta with Apico pegs and immediately felt more comfortable in the slowest and tightest of turns ie. if the soles of your feet can't move freely then the knee takes up all the twisting. I got back home looked at my upward angled S3s and though "Ah Ha". Time for the file 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 early hangers were silver, later black but think dimensionally the same. just a point of note. if your footrests are flat when bike is standing straight as soon as you lean in to a corner etc one foot rest will now be angled down encouraging your foot to slip off (mine don't normally need much encouraging). I find best to have footrests slightly angled up to eliminate this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your feet slide off a S3 Hardrock peg, with those "savage shin shredding little allen key dowels", these no helping you. ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 If you want better positioned footpegs, the hangers of the 2016 models are positioned 5 mm further back and lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
