I'm not sure the frame is steel tbh, think it might be alloy.

I've seen crash damage to the pillion peg part on a tiger before, who in their infinite wisdom thought it was a good idea to put the furthest part of a motorcycle out there to receive damage then make it part of the frame so not easily replaced?

That's one part of the design that I'm not at all keen on, I'd weld it myself tbh but wouldn't want to offer the service on someone else's bike.
