The foot pegs on the Derbi GPR are mounted
with 8mm bolts with a rubber bushing. When cornering hard these
rubber bushings flex enough so that the foot pegs actually rub
on the swing arm. This results in sketchy to unsafe handling.
The rubber bushings also deteriorate rapidly.
Check out these pix:
Note the frayed rubber bushing
on the top mount
and the scratch on the swing
arm where peg rubs
Note the severe scratch on swing
arm
These are the stock rubber bushings
These are the billet aluminum
C and C'd replacement bushings
Replace the stock
bushings!
This is a complete
set to replace both sides. We suggest the use of Blue Loctite
on the 8mm bolt
These are a perfect
fit, uses all the stock hardware, easy to install, and NO MORE
surprise handling characterstics mid corner!
