I need some distance riding pegs for my Valk, and I would like your opinions. Backstory - I have a set of Kury Dually pegs that attached to my Lindby bars on my old bike, and I liked them, but I plan on selling them with the old bike because they are not a direct bolt over. That said, this is a whole different beast, so what worked there might not be the best bet here. I'm looking at these pegs/mounts. http://www.directlineparts.com/product.asp?pid=6942&str=2 They mount up to the engine guard and appear to extend back and end in the Dually pegs I'm used to. Would these be a good option for someone who has somewhat short legs (30" inseam), or is there something else I should be looking for, either for quality/value reasons or because I'm short? Thank you all. |

No, you're too short, like I am. Use the Duallies that mount to the curved brace bar below the engine. With those pegs, you may not be able to reach them and your legs will be stretched to and uncomfortable position. The clamp is 1 inch, will work on Standard, Tourer or Interstate.  |

Take a look at the FX6 website for the floorboard configuration. He is one of our sponsors. I also have a 30" inseam and love this configuration. I just finished a 4500 mile ride, where I had unlimited positions for my legs.
They also work well as the engine guard which I had to use last summer.

With those pegs, you may not be able to reach them and your legs will be stretched to and uncomfortable position. The clamp is 1 inch, will work on Standard, Tourer or Interstate. Hurm, I have 1" Kury P clamps, and I tried bolting the Dually's on, but they looked funky. Any chance you'd be willing to grab a couple of pics so I can see how you mounted? I just can't quite make out the angles on those vs the other stuff that is chrome in your pic. Use the Duallies that mount to the curved brace bar below the engine. Is there a different part number that you know of if this is a set, or did you mean 1" tube clamps or 1" bars that attached to clamps? Just want to make sure we're talking the same language. FWIW- I have a standard. Thank you for your reply. |

I have the same footpegs with a 29" inseam. You can see in the pic where mine are mounted, about halfway up the outer curve on the engine guard. Works fine for me and my legs aren't stretched out straight either.  |

You rock. Wish I could buy you a beer for your effort. Here you go LIL. They are identical in mounting and location on the Tourer and I/S.    Dear John 30 beats 29 every time, I can't reach these pegs from your mounting location. LOL Must be your beautiful saddle. |

I have the 'P' clamp and the peg, but I don't have the arm that goes up. That's why they didn't fit right. Just need to find that part now. |

The 4500 Kuryakyn will work fine.
The 4050 Kuryakyn has stronger mounts. But for IS, the scoops need cut to mount at the proper location.
I have 29.5 inseam, and either are an easy reach with proper mount.
