I've been researching how one might replace the front shift peg on the Honda Valkyrie GL1500CT. I have my eye on a Kurk' #KY-8004 shift peg. I installed a Rattlebars kick shift about 2 years ago and retrofitted the KY-8021 replacing the Rattlebars rear shift peg. Apparently, the front shift peg mount is welded to the assembly!
Looking for advice, and thank you in advance.

You need to cut off the peg, file flat, then drill and tap the shifter arm...I also added a nut on the backside and red locktite to keep it in place.  Notice the "Genuine H-D" part and the packaging showing "Made in Taiwan"...   |

Yep, as outlined in the BigBF instructions, saw it, grind it, drill it, and tap it.  |

I put on a used shifter arm/peg from a Honda CBR1100XX (Blackbird) cost me $30.00.
I had to wiggle and persuade it a little to go on but it works well with my riding boots.
What was Honda thinkin' with that stock shifter?!

Warning Do not try to use Kury #8851 on your shifter. It is just a cover. I tried it years ago and could not get it to tighten up properly. The Kury part number shown in the picture just above is 8004.

OK, got it. This site never ceases to amaze me. The content, breadth of references, and more importantly the people behind it are amazing. Try to find THAT on a HD site; no way.  To my fellow Valkyrie Addicts, thank you x 1,000,000!! Will update all on my progress. Status: KY-8004 ordered, tap, lock nut and lock-tight in stock. Now to find the proper extended length bolt to complete my parts list. p.s. sure wish I had a bench grinder. |

Notice the "Genuine H-D" part and the packaging showing "Made in Taiwan"... I bet this shifter was $100 just because it carries the H-D logo even though it cam from across the big pond. |

I think the one i bought at HD was under 15 bucks and looked just like that one. You are not buying the whole shifter, just the toe hold. He just has the assembly sitting on the toe hold card. I would not pay more than 20 bucks for one at HD. |

I do not believe an extended length bolt is necessary. I'm almost positive I used the bolt that came with the 8004. It was not a metric. |

Loctite works fine but a nylock nut is the best choice

No, the peg was only about $15....the shifter arm is Honda OEM, just the chrome peg is "genuine" H-D....Made in Taiwan!!! |

If you didn't see it when posted look up Squealys pinion cup failure and how folks stepped up. I DO NOT ask my dealer questions anymore on my Phatt Ghurl-i ask here.  My dealer don't luv our Ladies like we do.  As far as a bench grinder-look at what Harbor Freight has to offer. Got one on my bench and it does fine for what I need it for. I'm not making a living turning wrenches anymore so I get what I need at a price I can afford. RIDE SAFE. |

I think I will require an extended bolt, yet only because I have a Rattlebars Kick-shifter. Anyone know the size bolt I require and where to get such a specialty hex bolt?

When this thread originated I decided to install the KU-8004 myself. Ordered it through Amazon for $14.10 with free shipping. The peg arrived today and in about one hour it is installed. I used the 5/16-24 bolt that came with the peg, it is more than long enough. My angle grinder and pedestal grinder made short work of removing the old peg and flattening the surfaces. I did not have a 5/16-24 tap nor the drill bit needed, so I decided to take another route. There is more than one way to skin a cat. I decided to use a 5/16-24 chrome acorn nut on the back side that I found in my stock pile, and drill a 5/16 hole in the shift lever. Test fitting showed that some grinding and filing of the front weld bead holding the exhaust guard was required. That done, we were ready for assembly. I saw no reason why this should ever be disassembled, so I tightened everything up with J-B Weld on the threads. Put a chrome cap screw cover in place, again with J-B Weld and installed the lever back on the Valk. What a difference!  |
