Highway Peg Source-resolved

[Fazer]

It's getting late, but I want to try and find a set of highway pegs for my son's 2000 Valk as a Christmas gift.  He is tall, so I am looking for a set that will mount to the engine guard hoop and have read that the while the diameter is 1", the bending process sort of elongates the tubing and that clamps of 1.125 (1 1/8") are required.  I cannot find anythinig other than 1" or 1.25".  I bought some on eBay last year but could not get them to hold without slipping.  Besides they were really crappy--waste of money.

I had read that MarkT sold them thru his horseapple facility, but did not see anything on his site.  

Any suggestions or possible sources.  

Anyone have some for sale?

Fazer, scroll down a little. They have 1 and an eighth listed. But check and make sure that’s the correct size before ordering. (I can’t remember)

I have a set of the Kuryakyn Ergo 2 with dually ISO pegs. Pretty sure it's model #4050. They attach to the guards in such a way that you don't worry about them moving on you. Mount them behind and up against the guard.

Bob,
Don't have the time to investigate right now, a contractor is waiting on me but, do these pegs move (spring loaded) like Mick O Pegs?    MOPs are absolutely the best thing I ever added to my Valkyrie.

I think those don’t extend as far up for a tall rider.

[Fazer]

Those ergo are what I have on my Valk and I like 'em but I am only 6-1. They are a little short for me, but I can lay my legs on top as long as I have my boots on.  I tried moving them ahead of the crash bars, but the only way to do it is have them extend below, which works, but then I can't reach 'em.  Maybe he could at 6-3. 

I'll look at the ones Meathead suggested.

Thanks for the quick comebacks, everyone.

You might be able to get longer or shorter arms for them. I know one of their other models have that option. I'd call Kury, they're pretty helpful.....

I'm 5'19" (6'7" if I'm not being a smart ass) and been riding a Valk for almost 20 years, have tried multiple different kinds of highway pegs, and the ones on my Interstate that I use right now are Mick-O-Pegs.... Wish I'd switched to 'em years ago.....

Bob--I remember parking near you at Inzane in Morgantown and you were having all kinds of trouble getting your pegs to quit shifting around.  You must have replaced them with the Kury pegs in your post.  In order for them to move ahead of the crash bar, the "post" that attaches to the lower portion of the crash bar needs to stick out far enough so the re-positionable arm can miss the vertical hoop crash bar. It would have to be quite a bit longer.  The picture that shows multiple settings shows one where the foot rest is ahead of the crash bar, but that is not accurate, at least in my experience.  It hits the hoop.

I have to call them to order since their on line ordering is down and will ask them about it.

[Fazer]

Hi Serk.  Yeah, I know you are a biggun.  Many folks have told me how much they like the mik-o-pegs, but they are a bit out of my price range for a gift.  Might buy for me, though.

BTW--still smoking the Oliva Nub?  We talked cigars at Roanoke.

Understood on the cost, it's why I waited to long to get a set for myself!

Yup, still on the Olivia Nub Cameroon, although I've branched out and have been enjoying most of the Ave Maria line lately, as well as others.....

I'll take a picture of them and send it on. PM your cell and I'll text it....

Remember the Ergo 4050s (which are the finest clamps available for hwy pegs) require the Interstate scoops to be cut off to mount correctly.  The clamps can be mounted below (or outside) the scoops, but it lowers the pegs enough to maybe be a problem when cornering.

The clamps and pegs mounted right to the 3 and 9 O'clock on the engine guards must have 1 1/8 clamps, and are probably better for taller, longer-legged guys.  However, make sure he really needs the offsets in those kits before ordering (will he need the offsets to position the pegs farther forward than the guards?). AND the offsets have the effect of widening the peg position farther outboard, spreading the legs more.

Otherwise, you can simply mount a set of Kury Dually pegs directly to Kury 1 1/8" Quick Clamps without the added expense of the offsets.  This is the setup I have on one of my bikes and they work just fine for me (but I don't have long legs).  My setup has the clamps rotated back quite a bit (so my feet reach), but if you mount the clamps so the pegs are straight out at 90 degrees from the engine guards, they will work with longer legs.

Also, this is a stronger setup.  With the offsets in place, if the bike tips over or is dropped (or the doorway of the garage is struck moving the bike in or out) there is a greater chance that something gets snapped off.  

Like this:


I am not sure if I was able to order this as a kit.  In the old days, kits only came with HD 1 1/4" clamps.  I probably had to order the 1) Dually pegs with male ends 2) clevises, and 3) 1 1/8" quick clamps separately.

Kury's web site listed a set at 1 1/8" but their on-line ordering was not working.  There was a note to call to order, but I was unable to reach anyone on it.  I sent an email this morning and withing about 5 minutes received a call from Richard.  He did not think the pegs I wanted were still available as a kit, but I told him they were listed as a kit on their site with a footnote that there were only a few left.  He checked and sure enough they had 5 left.  They were listed at $153 but since they are being discontinued he gave them to me for $104.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner.  If he puts those 1 1/8 clamps on the curved part of the crash bars, first he will struggle to get the ends close enough to get the bolt through far enough to catch the threads on the clevis.  Then it will crush the crash bar and muck up the chrome when tightened.
The best route is to get 1 1/4 clamps... they can be bought separately.  Then wrap a strip of leather or rubber to fill in the gap and give the clamp something to grip without messing up the bar.
Myself, back when I put clamps in that area I was a machinist and I used 1 1/4 Dia. polyurethane and drilled a 1" hole.  Cut the length to the width of the clamps and made a cut along the side so I could open it up and wrap around the bars.  When I eventually took them off after several years, you can't tell anything was ever mounted there.

[Jess from VA]

All my 1 1/8 inch clamps fit perfectly and don't screw up the guard chrome much at all.

[Fazer]

I will wrap the chrome with tape before installing.  The cheapies I bought of Ebay were 1" and I was able to get them installed on the hoop, but it wasn't easy.  I expect the 1 1/8 will go much easier.

The rumor you heard about me selling footpeg stuff on my site is wrong.  I don't sell anything made by others except parts of exhaust systems (stacks, glasspacks).  I find business goes much better the less I have to depend on (undependable) outsources.

I do have quite a few products mentioned and pictured that I bought as a consumer and installed on my bikes.  Including Kuryakyn products, footpegs and adapters.  I wish my web authoring software wasn't broken, EOL'd, proprietary dB and the company gone so I could continue to use it and update my site with so many changes since the software broke.  Including showing all the mods I've done to Jade, and showcasing George (both shown in signature below).  I have Kuryakyn offset footpegs on the curve of the crashbars of both Jade and Deerslayer.  Happy with them.  They don't move when cranked down tight enough - in fact they are the basis of my foot placement for forward controls on both bikes - I was able to place them accurately to match up with the controls.  I am not particularly long legged at 6ft with 31" inseam.  If I was I wouldn't place footpeg brackets on the lower positions of the crash bars as they would hit first on aggressive cornering and possibly unweight the tires.  The swivelling arms on those models allow pretty good positioning options.  I would think a position could be found with the clamps on the curved bars and the arms swivelled forward.  I like to ride with my feet high for good comfort changes, more air brought in by my legs on hot days, and max clearance for my feet for aggressive cornering.

Here's a shot on Deerslayer before the fwd controls install.
