Sometimes you need to improvise so you can limp it till you get the part you need.

Looks great. I've done some crazy shit like that before. Problem being I normally don't have vise grips in my tool roll.

We mounted a rear foot peg on the forward controls of Razor's bike in Georgia two years ago. That was pretty good.

Yep...

Did the same thing (other end) for a buddy's bike a couple of weeks ago.

Zip-ties, vice grips, electrical tape......and beer.

Ugly, but he didn't have to walk home.

From yesterdays ride The Tenere apparently cant survive jumping, it bent the skid plate back and put a hole in the oil pan. After some JB weld and oil from some hunters he was able to ride it out though:
