If you've ever dropped a few too many f-bombs trying to put on some new footpegs, then you know this headache: cotter pins. They're small, stubborn, and always seem to get stuck for a job that should only take five minutes.
That's why we recommend upgrading to Bullet Proof Designs Titanium Footpeg Pins. These pins eliminate the hassle and offer a smarter, stronger solution for your foot peg setup.
Cotter Pins: A Time-Wasting Headache
Let’s be real. Cotter pins might be old-school, but they’re far from efficient:
-
They bend easily, making removal difficult (especially after dirt and rust get in).
-
They're one-time use — once you pull them out, you have to replace.
-
Trying to line them up during reinstallation (especially with gloves or cold hands)? Frustrating.
-
They can even shear off or back out under vibration if not properly installed — a small failure with big consequences.
Whether you're installing new pegs, doing maintenance, or swapping setups between motos, cotter pins slow you down and add unnecessary stress.
BPD’s Solution: Titanium Pins with a Nyloc Nut
The Bullet Proof Designs Titanium Foot Peg Pins ditch the old cotter-pin system entirely. Instead, they use a smart, simple solution: a titanium nyloc nut.
Why is this better?
-
✅ Faster installation – No need to line up a hole or fiddle with pliable pins. Just thread the nut on, torque it down, and you're good to go.
-
✅ Tool-friendly – Use a standard wrench or socket; no specialty tools or needle-nose pliers needed.
-
✅ More secure – The nyloc nut resists vibration loosening far better than a thin cotter pin.
-
✅ Easier maintenance – Want to pull the pegs for cleaning or inspection? It’s a quick, clean removal process with no pin-wrestling.
This system makes maintenance and peg swaps trail-side easy and paddock quick, saving time and frustration when it counts.
“If you’ve ever cursed at a cotter pin while trying to line up your foot peg during install, you’ll appreciate how slick and stress-free these titanium pins really are.”

Final Thoughts: Big Improvement for a Small Price

For anyone from a hard enduro racer to weekend warrior, these titanium foot peg pins are a smarter way to go.
Quick Install Tip:
When installing, apply a dab of blue Loctite on the threads for added vibration resistance. The nyloc nut handles most of the job, but extra security never hurts on hard rides.
Bottom line: If you hate cotter pins (and be honest, who doesn’t?), the Bullet Proof Designs Titanium Foot Peg Pins will save you time, stress, and headaches — while giving you better durability and cleaner serviceability.
