Right then, had these on about a month or two now and mentioned I had problems fitting them but due to a mixture of work and lazyness I havnt explained why.
So then, these are the little buggers! .. link kindly from Locky
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOOTPEGS-Foot-Rests-For-Pit-Bikes-110cc-120cc-125cc-Strong-Grippy-Metal-Tops-/190866761482?nma=true&si=gwXuTsRYaFGMCqauF1OEy2z9vpQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
They are no longer available from this seller, but these are the ones I got.
Main problem I had is quite simply they wouldn't fit! haha the pin would not drop through the holes ... I started by widening the hole
sorry.
This didn't solve the problem, so fired up the angle grinder and gently took some of the straight bump stop away.
To do this job properly (I'm a fussy bugger), took me about an hour - hour and half, but no they fit perfectly
And for some pics!!!

Your eBay link doesn't work. Did Locky have the same trouble as you did with the fitting?

That's a lot of messing about, are you sure you'd got them the right way round? ;)

Hahahaha I wonderd that!! .... Yes I did, they were 10 quid from China so maybe it was daft of me to believe they would fit first time
