Honda Africa Twin Peg Support

$119.00 USD

Honda Africa Twin Camel Brace Peg Support (2016-2017 only)

The Problem:

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 or while sliding even on a minor low side crash etc.

Riding out of the backcountry with no right-side footpeg 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 footpeg. This can be a real problem, especially on a DCT bike that you can't simply stall in gear to hold your 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 bike's 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 its large size, it's impractical to carry a spare peg mount with you.

The Solution:

Our laser cut 1/4" (6.4mm) thick aluminum peg skid plate/brace and 3/16" (4.5mm) 304 stainless steel mounting bracket both protects the peg mount from taking a hit to begin with but also support it making it several times stronger the stock piece on its 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. 

Real-world tested in the rugged Rocky Mountains!

Note: Black Dog Cycle Works pegs are incompatible with our brace due to their unique design.

Would have been a lot cooler if I had bought this before lightning struck.

Camel ADV has been my go to source for all things Africa Twin. Their build quality, customer service, and unique solutions for all the quirks the venerable AT possesses are second to none.

I saw this piece of equipment when I originally built out the AT for some moderate off road work and thought to myself "Why would I ever need that? It isn't like I'm racing Dakar or anything.".

Whose the dummy now?

I broke my right foot peg on the Idaho BDR after a slow speed (15 MPH or less) low side spill which summarily snapped off the oh so crucial right foot peg.

After 38 miles of off road riding at 8-10 MPH followed by another 45 miles of tarmac to get to a weld shop, I now acknowledge that beside the famous Camel Windshield Brace, this is the piece of gear that should have been at the top of my list.

Lesson learned.....and it was most likely preventable with this piece of kit.

Don't be dumb like me. I would have spent 10 times what they are asking for this piece of kit had I known what I was in for once the peg snapped off.

Thanks again Camel ADV for saving me from myself.

So happy I installed this!!

I just got home from a week long ride in southern Utah and northern Arizona. I rode some pretty rough terrain and to put it mildly, there is no way my right foot peg would have survived the trip without the Camel ADV support brace! Thanks so much for a great product!!

Five star product!

I opted for the Camel Brace Plus simply because it was a no brainer. Pay a little more and get more protection. This kit went together like a tank and gives me a level of confidence the OEM part did not simply put. This is one of those must do upgrades in my opinion. Buy with absolutely confidence.

It holds up

I have 2 seasons on this brace. It's taken a beating, and done it's job. Nicely done!
