Camel ADV Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Standard Size Camel Brace Peg Support

We all know the Honda Africa Twin is great but like any bike, it has some weak spots.

Unlike the bike's beefy left side peg mount which is made of cast iron, the right side footpeg mount is cast aluminum. This can be problematic, especially when the bike is ridden offroad. It can be easily broken if it takes a hit from the front (rock, stump etc). It can also be snapped off if it gets hit from the bottom while dropping into a rut, while sliding even on a minor low side crash etc.

Riding out of the back country with no right side foot peg means not being able to stand in the rough stuff. Even worse, it's very difficult to use the rear brake effectively if you have no foot peg. This can be a real problem especially on a DCT bike that you can't simply stall in gear to hold you position on a hill if things go badly... ask us how we know!

While it is possible to create a much stronger peg mount bracket to replace the cast aluminum unit, a stronger bracket can put a huge amount of strain on the bikes frame in the event of a crash. Also, this bracket is quite complex (expensive) as it serves as the peg mount, exhaust hanger, center stand stop and rear bracket pedal pivot. Due to it's large size, it's impractical to carry a spare peg mount with you.

The solution? The Camel ADV Products laser cut 1/4" (6.4mm) thick aluminum peg skid plate/brace and 1.8" (3mm) 304 stainless steel mounting bracket, which protects the peg mount from taking a hit to begin with, but also provides support, making it several times stronger the stock piece on it's own.

The Camel Brace Std protects and strengthens the peg mount. The Camel Brace Plus strengthens the peg mount and also extends to cover the vulnerable rear section of the exhaust pipe protecting it from rock damage!
