The Yamaha YZ250F/YZ450F’s are great bikes, but the general consensus is that the 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. Works Connection’s titanium offset foot peg mounts open up the cockpit area by moving the pegs down 7mm and back 5mm, These changes open up the cockpit, while still allowing a good feel for the rear brake pedal and shift lever. The mounts are made from Grade 5 6AL-4V titanium.

The kit consists of 2 titanium foot peg mounts (Left and Right), 2 titanium pins, 2 titanium washers and 2 cotter pins. The Work Connection mounts are 30% lighter and works with any brand of foot peg. The retail price is $349.95. For more info go to www.worksconnection.com
