Footrest shaft

Postby Emerica1975 » Fri Mar 17, 2023 12:24 am

Im wondering if the footrest shaft part number 50915-52 wood possibly fit in the 48-49 frame. I came across the frame and realized if I get the correct footrest shaft for it then the foot pegs won’t fold up. I realize this wouldn’t be keeping the bike correct. But just thought I’d see if it’ll work. Thanks!!

it would work. Hopefully the tube on your early frame hasnt been cracked and welded on. If it has, chances are it'll never go thru the tube,

It has been welded. And it’s actually been a little bent backwards. I was hoping I could heat it up and bend it straight. But maybe it’s more work than just going with the correct foot rests.

Does anyone know what diameter the footrest shaft should be on the 48-49 frame. I’m not at home to measure it and I was thinking about stopping at the metal supply shop on the way home and getting some round stock to try and make something till i can get the proper ones ordered. Thanks!

11/16 is the o.d. And as I type this I bet you ment I needed to get tubeing that was 13/16 o.d. With the inside of the tube 11/16. I read your first post for the size thinking that was the size of the tube on the frame. Haha!!
