Securing Foot Peg Bolts Against Vibration and Shock

  • Post last modified:October 10, 2025

Foot peg bolts are constantly assaulted by high-stress factors. They must endure continuous, high-frequency vibrationfrom the engine and road, severe downward force and rotational shock every time the rider stands or shifts their weight, and the impact of the peg scraping the ground. A failure in a foot peg bolt is dangerous, potentially causing a sudden loss of control or stability. However, they must also be serviceable for peg replacement or maintenance.

Don’t sacrifice safety or serviceability—secure your pegs with a balanced chemical lock.

INCURE Re-Lok™ B43 Blue Standard Duty Threadlocking Adhesive

For fasteners that must withstand serious operational stress but need to be removable without using extreme measures like heat, medium strength is the right choice. The INCURE Re-Lok™ B43 Blue provides reliable, medium-strength anti-vibration security, high resistance to external elements, and the ability to disassemble the assembly using hand tools.

Feature & BenefitTechnical Insight for Foot Peg BoltsConversion Value
Medium Strength (Standard Duty)Provides a secure lock for fasteners up to M20, preventing loosening from continuous vibration, yet allows for future disassembly with standard hand tools.Safety Meets Service: Lock the pegs securely for operation while retaining the ability to quickly replace components.
High Vibration DampeningCures into a solid plastic that fills the microscopic gaps between threads, effectively neutralizing shock and vibration input from the rider and the road.Eliminate Wiggle: Ensure the pegs remain stable and the bolts stay torqued under continuous rider load.
Oil & Contaminant ToleranceExhibits enhanced tolerance to residual surface contaminants, cleaning sprays, or light oils common in the exposed chassis environment.Reliable Cure: Get dependable bond strength even in the often dirty, high-exposure peg mounting area.
Corrosion ProtectionThe cured adhesive acts as a sealant, protecting the threads from moisture and corrosion typical of an exposed chassis location.Maintain Integrity: Protect the underlying chassis threads and ensure bolts remain removable for their full life.

Application Steps: Securing Foot Peg Bolts for Rider Safety

Preparation (Key to Success): Clean the threads of both the bolts and the receiving threads in the chassis or frame thoroughly. Use a degreasing solvent to remove old grease or oil residue, ensuring surfaces are clean and dry.

Application: Apply a continuous, thin bead of Re-Lok™ B43 Blue to the leading three-quarters of the bolt threads. For through-holes, ensure the product is applied deep enough to make full contact when assembled.

Assembly: Install the foot peg assembly. Torque the bolts evenly to the manufacturer’s specified value to ensure proper component seating and optimal anaerobic cure initiation.

Curing Time (Critical): Allow a minimum of 24 hours for the adhesive to achieve its maximum strength and vibration resistance before subjecting the vehicle to full operational use and rider loads.

Stop risking loss of control or component failure due to loose fasteners and secure your foot pegs with dependable chemical integrity.
