Tenere 700: DIY Calf Pegs (similar in concept to Steg Pegz)

  DIY Calf Pegs (similar in concept to Steg Pegz) Dirt bikers know that it is beneficial to squeeze their bikes mid section with their legs when standing...Australian made Steg Pegz, via their stackable rubber doughnut shaped pucks (up to 3), provide increased purchase for your boots allowing for the transfer of more leverage to the legs with less effort & less reliance on upper body strength resulting in a more relaxed grip on the bars & reduced hand/arm/upper body fatigue...all of which foster improved interface with the clutch, brake & throttle & by extension rider safety.  This type of rider aid may be overlooked by the average Adventure bike rider, but the fitness/strength of my mid 60s core, legs & upper body appreciate any available advantage (see MVDBR Enduro's video " Are Steg Pegz Worth it on a Tenere 700?"  below)...so I made my own calf pegs design using pre-formed 90 degree 3/16" (4.76 mm) thick aluminum stock for the mounting bracket
