Thanks Rob, I wonder if it’s because the centre stand foot piece sticks out on the left hand side and not the right side. Mind you that could be said for most bikes, Iv just never come across it before.

The asymmetry bothered me enough to drill and tap the right peg for a matching 'hero blob'.

Now there’s a good idea..

I've never noticed, having too much fun riding to inspect the footpegs.

Somebody the other day was unhappy about the term "chicken strip(s)". Wonder if "hero blob" is going to bother him. I've never heard the term before. Neither term bothers me, but I'm not PC either.

Careful when talking about the chicken( strips, tendies, nuggets).

Nom, nom, nom, . . . .

Must be an English thing. I've always known them as hero blobs, but I think someone on here called them "kerb feelers". As far as I know that is illegal in the UK...

Checking pegs, and other things, is part of my pre-ride. You don't?

Whaaaat?! Are we talking curb feelers on foot pegs, or mounted on cars? To me curb feelers were popular back in the '70s. Mounted on Cadillacs or Rivieras with big ol' chrome wire wheels. You needed the curb feelers to let you know where the curb is, so you don't mess up you wheels.

My aunt made the mistake of leaving her 69 oldsmobile Toronado with curb feelers at our house with the keys in it. Me and my brother smoked the front tires on it.

Those thing were huge and ugly. But, you could live in them.

had a thought , was a senior moment ...... duh.

Don't forget Buick Electra 225s and Oldsmobile 98s.....

Sorry, I was thinking of kerb crawling...! Deffo illegal. Joking aside I need to Google curb feelers.

The '66 Toronado is a personal favourite.
