V7 brake pedal

[drlapo]

The rear brake pedal on my13 v7 Special is a screw in peg.
The same peg as the shift lever
Does anyone make a larger peg or a flat pad to replace the stock peg?

I altered my lever (shift side) by tapping a new hole, and making a peg from a bolt w rubber hose.

Moto guzzi has an extended peg available for theV7 scrambler for around$20
I'll ask my dealer if its available in the USA

For $20 it's certainly worth it.  Although Guzzi tradition is to cobble a fix together yourself, no matter how ugly it looks.

It looks like a decent piece
Knurled steel and a bit longer than the V7 peg
I found it on a British site and I'm trying to get the part number
Maybe I'll order it from the British site if the shipping is not too much

The overseas site lists part number 2S000323 and it looks like an official MG site
The site does not give me the option to purchase
Does that look like a MG part number?

Dude, my recommendation is to make your own part from bolts and stuff from the local hardware store.
Sadly, that's the Guzzi tradition.

Yea, you can buy the factory part from the UK. 

But sometimes making it yourself is the best option.

Final cost will be higher than that.

For this?


I wonder what the threaded hole will cost?

[drlapo]

Af1 has it for. $24+
Should be less than$20 at the current exchange rate
I'll ask my dealer

[drlapo]

+ $9 shipping!
I'll make one

I took your advice and made an extended peg with an 8mm bolt and 4 large rubber bumpers that I had lying around
No cost and now its a real Moto Guzzi

but I've already modified it:  I had an old broken AA aluminum flashlight  so I cut the barrel, stuffed in a piece of fuel line, inserted an 8mm bolt and now I have a knurled aluminum brake peg that is 65mm vs. the stock 35 mm peg

Sounds great!  Photo please.

I wish I could but I cannot figure out how to include a photo

To post a photo here, it first needs to already be on the internet on another website.  Only then, can you copy and paste it here.
There are free photo hosting sites.  I use https://www.flickr.com/ but there are plenty to choose from.

By doing this, WildGuzzi eliminates the burden of having to "carry" the photos themselves, on this site.

Thanks I'll try that
