Can anyone tell me EXACTLY what kind of metal is used on the 99 zx6r? I broke the bracket that holds the foot peg assembly on a lay down. It broke on the back part (right side of bike) of it so if it is a good material to weld a buddies dad is going to take care of it for me , no charge. He isnt sure what kind of metal it is for the backet either so figured I ask here.

Aluminum. Not sure what grade, but it doesn't seem as hard as T6. You should be able to have it tigged no problem.

Thx, I was pretty sure it was aluminum because its so light weight. Anyone know what grade??

the braket cost about $54 from kawasaki. i broke both sides on mine(diffrent times) and was thinking about welding the pieces back together. let me know how it turns out so i can try it next time i break it. thanks.

welding footpeg rearsets is never a good idea. spend the cash and replace the part!!!
