Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Footrest Cradle Assembly RAE00196/A

Replace the damaged foot-control cradle on a compatible Meteor 350 with the genuine Royal Enfield RAE00196/A assembly. Supplied as one CED and powder-coated cradle; confirm the part number before ordering.

Product description

A damaged cradle needs careful matching before replacement. This Royal Enfield Meteor 350 footrest cradle assembly is the component catalogued as CRADLE ASSY- CED & POWDER COATED. Choose it when your motorcycle parts catalogue or dealer identifies RAE00196/A as the required replacement. It is suited to repairs where the cradle itself is bent, cracked or otherwise judged unserviceable after inspection. Replacement of this component alone does not resolve damage elsewhere in the foot-control system.

What this product is

One replacement cradle assembly in the Meteor 350 foot-control system. Common buyer search names include footrest cradle, foot-control cradle and rider footrest mounting cradle.

What this product is not

This is not a complete motorcycle main frame, engine crash guard, individual footpeg, pair of rider footrests or full brake-and-gear control kit. It is not sold as a riding-position conversion kit.

Confirmed compatibility

Check before ordering

Do not order for

Super Meteor 650 or other Royal Enfield motorcycles solely because their name, engine platform or mounting bracket looks similar. This product page covers the Meteor 350 application only.

Part-number notes

RAE00196 is the base reference used in parts books. RAE00196/A is the full catalogue reference used here. No supersession to another part number or interchange with another cradle is claimed.

Similar parts and variants

The cradle is different from the separately catalogued left and right rider footrest arms, footrest rubbers, brake pedal and gear shifter. Order those components separately when needed. Other cradle part numbers and coating descriptions must not be treated as colour options or equivalent replacements without catalogue confirmation.

When should it be replaced?

Arrange inspection after an impact, visible distortion, a crack, damaged mounting points or a suspected alignment problem. A loose or awkward foot control can also be caused by fasteners, pivots or separate parts, so diagnose the fault before ordering the cradle.

Related parts to check

• Rider footrest arms and rubber sleeves.
• Footrest springs, pivot pins, circlips and feeler pegs.
• Brake pedal, pivot sleeve and return spring.
• Gear-shift lever, linkage and bushes.
• Cradle mounting bolts, nuts, washers and adjacent mounting points.

What you receive

1 × Royal Enfield RAE00196/A cradle assembly. Separate footrests, pedals, linkages, rubber parts and fitting hardware are not included in the offered unit.

Installation notes

Professional installation is recommended. Compare the replacement and original mounting points before fitting. Inspect nearby parts for impact damage and follow the correct Royal Enfield workshop procedure and tightening specifications. Do not force misaligned mounting holes. Check that the footrests, rear brake and gear shifter operate correctly before riding.

Before placing your order

Match RAE00196/A to your motorcycle catalogue or obtain confirmation using your VIN, model year and clear photos of the existing cradle. Do not select this part using the Meteor name alone. Keep an unboxing video for any delivery-related claim.

Frequently asked questions

What is RAE00196/A?

It is the Royal Enfield CED and powder-coated cradle assembly used in the Meteor 350 foot-control layout. It is also searched for as a footrest cradle or foot-control mounting cradle.

Is RAE00196 the same reference as RAE00196/A?

Parts books and sellers use the base reference RAE00196, while the full catalogue reference is RAE00196/A. Match the full reference to the replacement specified for your motorcycle. No alternative suffix is offered as an interchangeable option.

Which Royal Enfield motorcycle is it for?

Meteor 350 applications where the parts catalogue specifies RAE00196/A. The base part is listed in the 2022 Meteor 350 and 2026 Meteor 350 Euro 5+ foot-control diagrams. Check the exact catalogue reference for your market and production version.

Will it fit a Classic 350 Reborn, Hunter 350 or Bullet 350 J-Series?

Shared engine capacity or platform does not establish cradle compatibility. These models are not included in the confirmed application. Order only if the exact vehicle catalogue specifies this part number.

Is it for the Super Meteor 650?

Super Meteor 650 is a separate motorcycle. This listing covers the Meteor 350 application only and should not be ordered for the Super Meteor on the basis of the Meteor name.

Does it include the footpegs, brake pedal and gear lever?

The item offered is one cradle assembly. Rider footrests, rubber sleeves, springs, pivot pins, brake pedal, gear shifter and mounting hardware are separate items in the foot-control catalogue. Do not order expecting a complete foot-control kit.

Is this the complete motorcycle chassis or an engine crash guard?

No. It is the cradle component listed under foot controls. It is not a complete main frame, crash guard or engine protection accessory.

Is this a left-side or right-side variant?

This listing offers one cradle assembly under RAE00196/A, not a choice of individual left or right footrest arms. The arms and their related components have separate catalogue entries.

Does replacing it change the riding position?

This is a replacement component for the specified original application. No rearset, mid-control conversion or altered riding-position claim is made.

What should be checked before installation?

Have a qualified mechanic compare mounting points, check surrounding brackets and controls for damage, and inspect fasteners, pivots and bushes. Fit to the correct workshop procedure and verify brake, gear-shift and footrest operation before riding.
