Yes lost the billet peg that the Allen key bolt screws into . Only noticed when we got back from ace cafe yesterday . Dangerous as could have bounced off and caused accident

I have been asked four times in the last couple of months to make replacement pegs for the stainless kickstarts that have holes all the way up them if thats what we are talking about so it must be quite a common occurance. Maybe a liberal portion of loctite on the thread would be a good idea for anyone that has one.

If you kick from the rear, then it will tend to work in an anticlockwise direction which might contribute to loosening.
