I broke one off recently on one of those reflectors they put down the center of the highway and noticed the holes in it were worn oblong with only 30,000+ miles on it. They should have a steel bushing in them where the pin goes through. Not that it would have helped mine.

I had a peg break off my 160 scrambler landing after a jump and ever since when I stand on the pegs I put my weight as close to the bike as I can to reduce the stress on the peg.
The 1800 pegs are a pretty substantial piece of aluminum except as I mentioned before where the pin goes through. It would be a good idea to check how much play it has on the pin once in a while. The peg, less the rubber is only $18.

These things are pot metal, cheapest thing going, if they were made from aluminum they would hold up.

They are aluminum, I know, I broke one off on one of those center line reflectors on a left hand sweeper.
