FJR highway footrest mount

[RonC]

I've done searches using various combinations of 'extend Terry pegs' and have come up with nada. I'll try 'extend highway pegs' and a few other permutations, but if someone has found the posts about how to extend the pegs, please share.

I've also been at some Harley dealerships, but the 6 3/4" highway pegs they have do not mount the same way.

Thanks,

Ron

I drilled out the peg mount of Terry's brackets to 1/2" and mounted Kuryakyn #7996 offset mounts. They are a 3" extention and can be rotated 360 degrees for that 'just right' spot. Then I put long folding pegs from a Harley on them. It works great!

I was thinking about using a small sportbike peg instead of the Harley stuff, but am having problems finding the square mount. I bought Terry's brackets a while ago, from another that was parting out. Any ideas?

Mounted mine on my 06 last night. Left side is a piece of cake, but I don't think you can access the filter without removing it....no big deal.

Right side does require the removal of the rt fairing and is a tight fit, but it works.

I've extended mine about 3 inches longer than they came from Bill, in order for my legs to clear the faring.

Ghost and all,

You needn't take the bracket off to get the oil filter off if you use the oil filter wrench that's an adjustable rubber strap with a plastic handle. I don't have it with me but got it at an auto parts store. It works really well.

Yep. Several oil filter changes here while leaving the highway peg brackets on. As Doc said, I use a strap wrench to remove the filter, and hand tighten when installing.

Changed oil without removing the bracket. Used a pair of large channel-lock pliers to remove old filter.

Been running the pegs for a long time now and never once gave oil filter swap problems a second thought. I use one of those nylon strap wrenches and it slips right in there. Packs up small into a tool roll for extended trips, too. Pack an extra filter and pick up a gallon of Mobile 1 from some remote Wal-Mart. Finding a so-it-yourself car wash is a snap and draining the oil from that point is simply a matter of waiting for when the car wash is slow and vacant.

Bounce, you'd drain your oil into a waste water treatment system? Bad Dobby! :assassin:

This be the part to extend

and This be how they look, btw your foot can fit on and won't slip off. they will drag if you lean to far!

When that happens I just ease off a bit and it fine, besides having them adjusted to move the correct direction if they happen to touch.

I'm taking my highway pegs off my 05 that I've sold and will be installing them on an 06 when I get it. Does anyone have the torque values for these allen bolts? I don't have my shop manual up here with me. Thanks!

Do you still have some for sale ?

I just got off email with them and ordered some an hour ago.

Hmmm? I see these pics of the LHS bracket in front of the filter ... after using the strap wrench, did you have to wiggle the filter out at an angle?

 

[Ignacio]

I've got them on and no problem whatsoever with the filter. Plenty of room.

Just put them on Saturday, before a nice spirited 400 mile ride on Sunday throught the Catskill Mountains in upstate NY.

Wild Bill, My hat is off to you!! :yahoo: IMHO, this bracket setup IS THE farkle of the year. My knee would've been killing me after around 150 miles or so. Absolutely no knee pain after being able to stretch my left leg out.

I only have one small problem....I'm afraid my beloved FJR is going to think it's a Harley now. :lol:

Thank you very VERY much for coming up with this peg setup. My knees thank you too. (they told me to tell you)

What is that stator cover? looks like thick black matt hard plastic?

I just installed the highway peg brackets from my 05 on my 06. What I discovered is that the bolts on the right side mounting plate were too long for the 06. They had to be the same length as on the left side. Interesting....

Strange... the longer bolts fit my '06 fine, just like the '04.

Well the longer bolts on the right side sure felt like they'd "bottomed out" well before they were snug. And since I'd stripped 2 on the stator cover on my 05 replacing the OEM screws when I took the highway pegs off before I sold it, I was being careful not to repeat that mistake.

Hmmm... I recall it cranked up finger tight with a little thread showing, but they didn't seem to need much torque on the wrench to seat them. You could be right. It doesn't seem to be a problem as (so far... knock on wood... throw salt over the shoulder... etc.) nothing seems to be amiss.
