Someone before me drilled out the rear peg mounts...both sides.
Need ideas for repair.

He drilled out the threads? Not much room left. DAMN, that's another reason PO's suck.

1) find some rear pegs with a long enough threaded shaft so you can bolt them on. You may need to include a bushing to match the peg shaft diameter to the hole.
2) Fill the hole with JB-Weld and then drill and tap the JB-weld. The folks from JB-Weld say you can do this. I don't know how well this would work however considering the load bearing of a passenger.
3) If the current frame hole is really big compared to the the pegs you want to thread in to the hole, perhaps you could JB-Weld in a threaded bushing. Just make sure you plug the threaded bushing hole with wax or soap before you start mixing the JB-Weld,
Nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.

The folks a JB Weld say a lot of things. I wouldn't trust it in this situation. I'd rather fill the holes by welding or brazing, then tapping them.

Weld shut, face it with a grinder and drill/tap a new hole.

Or your ither best choice is to cut those off and grab a set off a spare frame and buzz them on

Hate to cut them off....I'll try to fill them in and tap them first.

Insert a threaded bolt from the backside then weld the bolt head to the frame. Get some aluminum round stock drill and tap a hole in the aluminum the same pitch as the threaded bolt, screw the peg onto the bolt.

Mine fold back on a angle so they won't break.

What about a T-nut? Insert from back edge and give her a tack?

Got enough room for a timesert? Welding and drilling would be a bitch by hand. But would be your best bet to stay original, this the Z1r?
