This might be a dumb question but is the stock right side foot rest suppose to be longer than the left?
I just kind of mocked some things up tonight and the footrest seems awfully far away from the shifter.

THe stock ones on a 500 are different

Bike ? Year ?

Bike ? Year ?

Sorry, its a 1970 650 on a rigid frame.
When I got the bike it had forward controls that I'm now replacing with stock ones.
I bought 2 footrests on e-bay that are actually in good shape, its just the right side looked alittle short.
Of course I was just eyeballing everything....

sounds like you might have a OIF foot peg . Can you post a pic . And to answer your question the part that the rubber goes over is the same length . They should follow the contur of the engine case . ( primary and trany cover )

They definatley curve to the primary and tranny case....it just seems like the shifter side is going to come up a little short once the shifter is on there.
Here's the exact pair from the e-bay auction.....although they're in much better shape after bead blasting and painting:

Yes, I think there is a 1/2 inch or so difference with the stockers. Seems odd, but thats stock.

i bought a set of triumph foot pegs off of the horse board and the RIGHT one is longer than the left. also the part the rubber goes on has a bend to it and i dont know if this is normal.

 

[Cromagnum]

Checked mine out Right is longer than left, but feels right when your on it.

Yeah I'm got a '69 Tri 500 with the stock foot rests and my right hand side is about 1/2" longer as well....
