Howdy,

Ive ward that when modifying or building a bike, rego requirements are that grips/pegs and forward controls have to have 50% rubber: does anyone know if that's definitely the case??

Some Jap sport bikes have aluminium pegs , and some dirt bikes have steel pegs . My 2c worth.

If the rubber is there it must be in servicable condition. If you put alloy ones on that's fine too. Go figure!

 ?

Ah ok, thanks Will. I'm building a bike from scratch, and I want knurled/milled stainless and brass forward controls and grips. But I'd heard an engineer won't approve it unless they're 50% rubber. Of course I'll do a little more research, but just thought I'd ask members here first..

Cheers,

 you can always just swap them over to a cheap rubber set if they dont pass them.

Mate if your building a bike, get very familiar with the ADRs or expect the engineer to keep saying no.
And don't forget that each state has other additional rules and discrepancies.

Yep will do, thanks for all the replys..

Yes must be a minimum of 50 per cent of rubber on both

No worries guys, thanks for that...
