Correct footpegs for Atlas

Forums

I have attached a picture of my footpeg assembly. Only the peg with the rubber seems correct for a Dominator. The right side footpeg where the rubber goes is only 2-1/2 inches long (made that way) so I think it is a factory reject.

The through-the-chaincase distance piece seems home-made with a rather careless weld around the big washer.

I don't know which corrugated piece (or whatever you call it) for the right footpeg to engine plate connection is correct. My parts book simply doesn't show it. Does someone recognize the right piece here?

Called a serration and its oposite mating part is the L/H footrest serratredend pointing to it at 10 O'Clock.. The shortened R/H footpeg((That goes with the serration mentioned above) can be unscrewed and it is easy enough to make up another to the desired length. You will see two pegs at the back of the small serration, these are anchored into two corresponding slots in the R/H engine plate. Don't forget the spindle that runs through the engine plates and links the two footrests.

All parts available new from RGM. See them online.

Looks like you also have a folding footrest and some other bits that don't look part of the footrest assembly.

Thanks. I will use the smallest of those serrated pieces then.

well your center spacer is missing in this photo it goes in-be-tween the engine plates, and some Atlas motorcycle did have lift up foot rests for the rider, factory fitted , yours anna j

I don't have one of those but I always make my own because I like a wide diameter, tight-fitting alloy tube. Not so important on a Norton (because you can't hurt engine plates) but critical on a Triumph where you can crack the inner primary. I will need advice on the correct fitting of the Atlas chaincase. I have seen them mangled.

I have seen bent engine plates where the centre spacer tube Anna mentions has been omitted and an enthusiastic but muscular owner has just kept tightening. The same muscular enthusiasm can work wonderful distortions on chaincases too.

From my diagrams it appears the chaincase is attached at the front by 3 screws and a clamping ring (or is the ring on the engine side of the chaincase?). And a bolt to engine plate below the clutch but it floats at the foot peg on a thick felt ring and a large washer and has a felt seal at the clutch. Is it loosely clamped by the felt?

I just read all the old posts on the chaincase and apparently there must be some small pressure at either end of the central tube to get a seal there. But that central tube is part of the floating arrangement and does not locate the chaincase up and down (or in and out). It seems this is only done by the front screws and bottom bolt.

Have you seen the lift up riders foot rests on my Manxman they came off a 1954 dominator and adapted too lift up by me using stainless steel parts I made too fit, there the D shape rubber foot rest and a lot better for my feet,

and easier to get into my workshop with the bike as the door is only 33 inch wide, and there is two doors one behide the other , like a lock affair, its a security doors there fitted with a Alarm system and CCTV with inferred and nite cam face reconnection smart cams , the hole of the building as them all way around linked to my computer and a Mp3 recorder , these there the things you have too do in the country side now as there is a crime wave going on out there, so be on your guard at all times, these thieves are every where

i even take a alarm lock with my bike every time I go for a ride out, anyway I hope you get sorted out with yours foot rest soon yours anna J photo below

That certainly is a prize winner. There is also some charm in rust, dents and chipped paint as on my 99.
