Best pegs to fit Cr 250 1996

Edited Date/Time 5/8/2015 10:20am
Restoring a cr 250 and have cheap horrible Chinese pegs on it atm. Was wondering the best pegs to fit on it after a bit of reading people say that late yz pegs fit straight on or you can get later cr ones and grind them. Any one know what kind of year i want for the yz pegs ?

I think that DRC is the company I use the YzWr 5mm low pegs on all my vintage Hondas, gives a more modern bike feel, also replace top clamp with CR125 moves bars forward and upright position

I use KTM pegs on my CRE500. Mainly through having worked at KTM dealerships, and, with all of the 'bling kings' putting different, pretty pegs on their bikes, the std KTM ones were lying around the place. Most people will have KTM riding friends that have gone for accessory pegs, so often you'll get them for free, or a beer or two.

On my bike, the KTM pegs were lower by about 7mm, and the front to back width was 48mm - a useful gain over older pegs.. The KTM pegs had a pivot / mount point width of 30mm, my CR, 29mm - just machine / file off a mm. Used std KTM springs.

I now use the KTM Rally 450RR pegs - lower again by 8mm, front to back width of 54mm, and a length of 130mm from the pivot center to the outside of the peg. The extra length helps out with my valgus problem - worn out knees, that have bent my legs out. Yes, the longer pegs 'clack' against things far more, but it's not a problem - I ride in rocky terrain, where you hit things constantly, and they just fold up nicely, then 'clack' back down. Being steel, they handle all the abuse, well.

That's good to know that the KTM ones drop the peg height.

When I built my '91 last year, I stared at the pegs on my 200 EXC and wondered if they'd go in.
I had some old WR pegs on the shelf, so tried those, which were a perfect fit, so got some OEM Yamaha Ti pegs off eBay and fitted them using new Honda springs.

Now I'm wondering about trying my KTM pegs on the Honda when I change them over.

I'd reckon so.
These are the Yamaha pegs on my '91.
