Ty 175 Footpegs

If you measure up a set of modern footpegs you will see that there is not enough space to fit them between the bike frame and the kickstart lever. Options for using modern pegs include:

A device/method (locking pin, wire hook) that holds the peg up while you kick (popular)

Lift the peg to let the kick lever go past it, kick start the motor, then let the lever retract past the peg. If you have a suitably light return spring on the peg this works fine. The kickstart doesn't engage until it is at peg level anyway (popular)

Don't use a RH footpeg spring and keep the pivot action free. The peg will stay up if you lean the bike a bit too the left as you kick (popular but not legal in some places that require spring-return pegs)

Reshape the kickstart lever to clear the peg end (not recommended due to the kickstart lever knuckle already being a bit flimsy and this method puts extra load on the knuckle)
