Hi gang, if you want, have Bill and Terry send them to me and I will powdercoat them in either bright silver, medium gray engine silver or black (satin or gloss) - your choice and forward them to you for $12. Just send me a check. B)

Terry, I just put on your pegs Sunday. They fit perfect! You also gave very eazy instructions and marked the left+right sides with stick-ons(very smart again). I can't wait to try them out.

Thanks Terry - I just put them on last week and everything was perfect. Easy install, and great instructions. Haven't done a long trip yet, but in my brief experience with them, know that they will help with the legs!! :rolleyes: Great stuff. Jay

 
I a minterested in some riders opinons of them....Can you get to the pegs easily? it seems that the fairing would kind of prevent you from getting you full foot on the peg? I think the design is pretty slick just curious to see how some people have found them on longer rides. I have a 34' inseam and would like to have an alternative pegs in order to stretch my legs. Thanks in advance fore the insight!

 
My thought exactly!Will they fit the '06?
I have asked them (Terry) and the answer is yes I plan to order a set and send them to garauld for powder coating as soon as I can get off my lazy ass. they sent me an order link I can post if anyone is interested.

You're right, it's a tight fit around the fairing. I have to bend my knee to get a full foot on the peg and my leg is tight against the fairing when I do. The much discussed heat problem makes itself known on hot days so I have to tilt my knees outboard and catch the pegs with the sides of my heels. I've often thought of trying to fit some kind of peg extender. Sounds worse than it actually is, any break from the standard riding position is a relief. I can ride all day alternating between the highway pegs, passenger pegs, and the rider pegs. The other advantage is that they've saved my fairing from damage in a driveway drop. Doh!

 
I'm very interested in getting a set for my 06. I just printed out the pictures and compared them to the bike - here are my observations:

Left side - no problem.

IMO - Right side - it looks like installation will require removal of the right side lower fairing in order to access the 3 bolts into the cases. The trailing edge of the fairing looks like it will be ALMOST touching the peg - but it should work.

Those of you putting them on an 06, let us know how it goes !

 
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.

Thanks to Bill, Terry, and Garauld, I now have a set of highway pegs on powder coated brackets mounted on the bikem (04). I'll have to take a long trip to see how they work in battle but the fit and general quality of the pieces is top notch! Thanks again.

How'd you extend them? I'd like to do the same thing. Left side took me about 5 minutes. Right side too six weeks. Finally figured out how to remove the right side fairing...actually, you really just need to loosen all the bottom fasteners...remove 'em...and you can pull the plastic out far enough to get the bolts off and the new ones on...there's two allen bolts underneath the little extendy-wingy thingy. But it fits, after you figure out how to bend the radiator hose clamp the right way to move it.

The pegs are a little too short...my boot is about half on them in a comfortable position.

I wonder how I can add some rubber to them, for a little isolation?

Whine, whine, whine.

And the stickers were a little hard to get off.

And I hurt my pinky a little bit.

And they're GREAT.

 
+1 on MarkG's comments; what was used to extend the pegs? I'd like to know too!

I have a 34" inseam too and extended the pegs by 1 1/2". I went to Lowe's and bought a longer bolt. Also got a piece of aluminum with an ID the same as the OD of the bolt. This provides more support to the bolt on the outside of the bracket. Otherwise the bolt will flex and bend on you.
