Works Connection now has an aluminum version of its Offset footpeg mounts to fit Yamaha YZ450F (2010-22) and YZ250F (2010-23) models. (See more about Works Connection YZF Titanium Offset Footpeg Mounds HERE).
Made from aircraft-grade 7075-T6, the all-new mounts are 42-percent lighter than stock and are re-engineered with additional material strategically placed to ensure maximum strength and longevity. The mounts position the footpegs down by 7mm and back by 5mm, which opens up the rider triangle on the YZFs. The mounts can be used with both stock and aftermarket pegs, and they come with titanium pins, stainless washers and cotter pins. MSRP is listed at $199.95.
Here is more information from Works connections’ press release…
Works Connection YZF Aluminum Offset Footpeg Mounts
2010-22 Yamaha YZ450F, 2010-2023 YZ250F
Same great features as our Titanium mounts, but at a lower retail price.
Our all-new aluminum mounts share the same offset (-7mm down, -5mm back) as the Titanium mounts, but that’s the only thing that stays the same. Our all-new aluminum mounts were re-engineered, and material was added in different places on the mounts to ensure strength and longevity.
The Yamaha YZ250F/YZ450F’s cockpit (rider triangle) is a little cramped. The distance from seat to pegs is shorter than other bikes, which requires more effort to transition from sitting to standing. Our Aluminum Offset Foot Peg Mounts open up the cockpit area by moving the pegs down (-7mm), and back (-5mm). These very calculated measurements open up the cockpit, while still allowing a good feel for the rear brake pedal and shift lever.
The kit consists of (2) Aluminum Foot Peg Mounts (Left and Right), (2) Titanium Pins, (2) Stainless Washers and (2) Cotter Pins.
We enlisted the help of veteran test rider Kris Keefer to test various different offsets to come up with what he felt was the best setup. The amount to offset the mounts was the ‘key’ to figuring out a better feel, more comfort and a less cramped feel.
You can use ANY foot peg you prefer with our Foot Peg Mounts. Stock (OEM) or Aftermarket.
An added benefit is they are 42% lighter than stock mounts.
