Feeler Peg (Rider Footrest Scrape Pin) for Royal Enfield Rider Footrest Assembly – RAE00003

Royal Enfield RAE00003 is a feeler peg—the small sacrificial “scrape pin” fitted to the rider footrest that touches down first during aggressive cornering, helping protect the main footrest arm/bracket. If your bike has started scraping metal loudly, the peg is missing after a fall, or the tip is worn down, replacing the correct feeler peg restores the OEM contact point and helps prevent damage to the larger footrest components.

Because Royal Enfield uses suffix revisions (commonly seen as RAE00003/A, RAE00003/C, RAE00003/D) across supply batches, the safest way to purchase is to match the exact suffix on your old part / invoice / EPC line or confirm by photo and thread/length.

Before you buy: Confirm your existing part number (RAE00003 + suffix) and visually match the peg style before ordering. Dealer listings identify the item as “FEELER PEG”.

FAQs

Q1 (Fitment): How do I confirm RAE00003 is correct for my bike?
A: Confirm via any one of these: (1) your old part packaging/invoice shows RAE00003 + suffix (A/C/D), (2) your EPC/microfiche line item shows the same, or (3) share a clear photo of your current feeler peg and mounting point for visual/thread match. Dealer catalogues identify this item as FEELER PEG under the RAE00003 family.

Q2 (Fitment): What does the /A, /C, /D suffix mean—can I mix them?
A: The suffix is typically a revision/supply code. You should match the exact suffix shown on your old part reference where possible. If you cannot confirm suffix, do not guess—verify by EPC line or photo/thread match first.

Q3 (Comparison): OEM feeler peg vs aftermarket/universal scrape pin—what’s better?
A: OEM is designed for correct thread, length, and contact behaviour on the stock rider footrest. Universal pins may fit loosely or bottom-out incorrectly, causing premature loss or damage.

Q4 (Installation): Any precautions while installing?
A: Clean the threads, check for cross-threading, tighten to a secure fit (do not over-torque), and confirm it does not foul the folding action of the footrest.

Q5 (Symptoms): What problems does this solve?
A: Missing/broken feeler peg, harsh metal scraping during turns, worn-down tip, and prevention of damage to the larger footrest arm/bracket during occasional contact.

Q6 (Returns-prevention): What should I send you before buying if I’m unsure?
A: Send (1) a close-up photo of the feeler peg area on your rider footrest, (2) your bike model/year/variant, and (3) any EPC/parts list line showing RAE00003 + suffix. Without this, ordering is high-risk.
