rear foot peg rubber removal

[dewie]

I am am getting my foot pegs/mounts powder coated soon. I am trying to remove the rubber pads off from the passeneger pegs, I have cut off as much as the rubber as possible but it is stuck in the grooves and I can't get it cleaned up. I tired gasket remover and even a torch to cook it off but it's on there good.. Any help is great..

+1!! Only thing required to remove them on my 09 for Powder Coating was the 2 bolts and they fell right off!

The Gen I passenger pegs don't have screws. The rubber is moulded right on to the metal. I bought a set of pegs off a dirt bike to powder coat when I did mine. You won't have much for grip on the stock pegs without the rubber.

That sux the way they did the gen 1's.

Bummer.

Yeah passenger pegs are glued on big time. The front peg rubbers are bolted on. I never have passengers on so I don't care if they have a rubber or not but I don't want to blow $40 on new pegs but cleaning off that rubber is brutal. Thanks for trying guys.

I use a torch. Don't be scared to catch them on fire and let them burn for a while. After that the rest will come off with media blasting.

no need to use a torch, just put it in the oven 400F for 30 minutes and rubber will get loose. I powdercoated a few hundreds pegs, used that method every time. I didn't cut any ribber off just heat it up and pull.

Seems logical.

After I used a razor blade to cut off the majority of rubber I used the torch and a wire brush and scrubbed the hell outta it and used a bottle of propane but it all came off now thanks again
