New front pegs installed....LOVE THEM!

[fraze11]

Just wanted to post some info for those who want to install these on the rears as well.  The wiki is ok on this, but its definately a little more work than the fronts.  In addition to grinding down the round part of the peg base on both sides, you have to drill the hole in the rear peg braket on the bike in the EXACT right spot or the peg will fold too far forward when open. I recommend placing the peg on the OUTSIDE of the bracket on the top in the open position to mark your drillpoint.  I ended up using a stainless steel nut and bolt and I threaded the nut onto the bolt all the way to the top tight and the bolt runs the length of the inside of the bracket (now that I know that works Im going to remove them and paint them flat black so they blend in).  Makes for a good solid "stopper" for when the peg folds down.  You still need the washers on there like the fronts to close the gap.  And if you are like me you may be wondering how the peg stays up when not in use...Once everything is in place when you push the peg up it gets tight to the inside and holds nicely.  I dont know if that was luck or what or what ...but it holds as tight as the stock rear pegs when not in use.  Looks good now with 4 matching pegs.

I've got these on Flick had 'em about 3 years now. They hold up very well. My biggest gripe is if I'm backing out of a parking spot or trying to maneuver the bike I occasionally will jam the left peg into my calf. At least once a month I get a nice size bruise on my calf. My doctor saw it once and she thought it was another blood clot and flipped out. A krap load of tests later she finally believed it was just me bein goofy.

got the front pegs installed, but i need to get a different washer setup for a tighter fit. passenger pegs yet to be installed.

two days on them so far, and really like the feel. haven't notice any new vibrations. i've ridden a bit of everything on them; county roads, interstate, and the twisties. they're a little loose with the washers i have in now, but once tighten up they'll be perfect. well worth 20 bucks!

after looking yer photos again fraze, i feel like i'm neglecting cleaning my bike haha. for now its installation and modification, i'll try to squeeze in some cleaning when all the parts get in the paint booth. until then dirty photos:

Get longer bolts. The bolts those ship with are fairly short and stop in the smaller diameter section of the bracket that are inside of the actual pegs..

took the pegs apart to see if this was the case. sure enough, the supplied screw stops short of the end of threads . i'll report back when i find the type of bolts used

i just bought these same pegs for both front and rear off ebay from a US seller out in CA for 22 shipped (2 pair)

Those pegs will look good for posing down at Starbucks...for an all day ride, you couldn't give them to me

Yeah but I gotta agree they look better than those mid 80's bulky OEM pegs.

Are you saying that because you've ridden with them?  I only ask because I *just* got home from a 1100km trip and I find those pegs amazingly comfortable.  Aside from being big and ugly I always found the stock pegs uncomfortably awkward.  Just sayin is all...

[steezin_and_wheezin]

i do feel some vibs after focusing more on the pegs. this on my usually route of 45 min each way with a bit of everything. riding the interstate @ 80mph there's a bit of a buzz. i only ride short spurts on the interstate tho, getting from mountain to mountain. everywhere else i didn't notice at all.

these have great grip and fit my foot perfectly. i have gotten off the bike every time since i put the pegs on and felt great. no unusual discomfort at all, and this is with tennis shoes.

will report back after i get some longer rides

Vibrations.....if you say they don't vibrate more than the OEM's...your kidding yourself, say what you will , I have been around MC's for over 5 decades, I know the answer already.

You will probably find there is a certain RPM where you really feel them, if for any reason you don't hit that RPM.....then you may actually have a win win situation on your hands

I actually never said they did or didnt vibrate, I simply said I think they are incredibly comfortable and I like them alot. 

"Whats a Km?" Its a unit of length in the metric system, the official system of measurement used in every country in the world but three.  I'm suprised in your "over 5 decades" you've never heard of it... Sorry, I just had to.
