My pegs are 11mm, of which 4mm are the chamfers. Should I think about custom making some longer pegs or are these already longer than OEM?
Your pegs have a 7mm drive length in the wheel - more that double the 3mm I have. I would have thought that will be OK.
To make even longer pegs may be ideal but what is the depth of the holes in the Panasports? As I said, the holes in the Minilites are 16.5mm deep, so I shall make new pegs at 15mm with a 4mm chamfer to give 11mm drive.
I just measured my Panasports and they are approx. 17.5mm deep in total, and about 3mm of that is taper from the drill.
So I'm probably fine with the pegs that I have. My FWSM shows both the early and late pegs, but gives no dimension for the driving section. If the drawings are to scale however, it appears that the driving and chamfer sections are about equal, so it would appear that your pegs are stock, and mine were replaced to accommodate the Panasports.
BTW the OWSM omits any reference to knock-ons or drive pegs, and only depicts the bolt on wheels. I've always thought it was an S1 manual, and this seems to reinforce that belief.
