Why did you switch up the pegs? Is that a common thing for SM bikes? I figured you would want to keep the motocross style ones simply for the wider surface area and grip
Johnny, get rid of those pegs, you'll regret them riding SM.
These are the ONLY pegs you want for an SM bike

These are the best shifters/brake pedals available as well.

By the looks of the round pegs im guessing your not a fan of the dirt section on a supermoto track.Im going to try my round pegs first, I do not like the feel of the flat surface pegs. I cant see how I wont like them I have them on all my bikes, even my CRF50 supermoto.
If they suck I'll just use them on my other bikes as I have not modified the actual pegs at all...
...And yeah Hammerhead stuff it really nice I have one of their shift levers, but their green anodize makes me want to puke......Maybe later, right now the stock ones should do the trick for this beginner

Does anyone think I will have rubbing issues with a 160 rear and that spacing between the swingarm?
Not sure if this will help, but on my DR-Z400SM, I have a 160 Dunlop Q2 and there is some minor chain rubbing on the tire, using the factory chain guide. It appears that there is similar clearance from my rim to the swingarm, but it's a different bike and just some cell phone pics with no real measurement. Hope it helps

Thanks.....How wide is your rear rim?
It would really help if there is any way you could measure from the edge of the rim to the edge of the tire for me. So I can get an idea of how much the tire sticks out past the rim edge...I only have 180's in the shop
I have a SM chain guide to help prevent the chain from rubbing the tire/rim on that side, but I have less clearance on the brake side from the swingarm....
4.5" wide rim, and your in luck cause I'm feeling useful.
Measured like this

* I thought I posted this hours ago, but apparently I only previewed the post - thank you GTAM for having an autosave function. *
Depends on what tire you are using,street or slick.With street I had two different tires both 160s but one measured a true180mm mounted and the other 160mm mounted,that is on 5''rim.The 160 was still tight on the chain side so I dished it very little and now its even on both sides.You cant dish your rims so depending on what tire you choose you might need spacers on the sprocket side as far as I know.If you use a slick I heard you can go wider,but I have no slicks mounted yet.Im running Dunlop Sportmax GTs right now.
