So I will post pictures to confirm my gripe with RE.  After 289 miles in three days and kick starting it every time since its first start up. My right (rear brake) foot peg is wiggling around and trying to spin off when I ride. This baffles me because i stand on the pegs to kick the bike but my right foot is on the kick starter.  Has anyone had to remove and re glue their pegs?  This really pisses me off because well its a damn foot peg how cant you get that right?

Tighten the nut?
The footpeg studs are welded into the tube. There's a possibility that the weld has cracked. I had to to take off my right hand side stud when I put the rear sets on. The easiest cure would be to rebraze the stud from the outside. The inside end where the original weld is is very close to the engine.

thanks bare good post I used to be a welder by trade and thus own a tig and mig welder I think (because you were right and the peg is cracked and moving) I will just fix this myself with the TIG

I'm jealous . I don't have a TIG welder. Wish I did. They can sure come in handy. I'd have to use a gas welder, which is why I mentioned brazing.
But, with the proper equipment sure makes having to do the repair nice!

Sure does bare but I can understand you not having one they are outrageous expensive.  Best thing about TIG is you can make your work look good Stick and Mig looks messy TIG is practically art

My left side foot rubber is also loose. I'll probably use some type of epoxy to hold in place. Right one seems fine so far.
