Highway pegs

Post by Doctor T »

Just fitted a pair of highway pegs. Bought from that famous on line site. Think they are meant for Harleys but using the reducers that came with them with i got to fit them to my crash bars. The reason i purchased this style as they are fully adjustable. Like some that own RT's the seat to peg position isn't great on a long run. Even with my little 30" inseam, i feel cramped after a while. Am still trying to get the perfect position of the pegs to suit me but a 100 mile run yesterday with the highway pegs fitted sorted the crap out. Feels funny at first trying them but after an hour finding them without looking came naturally.
They are very well made and sturdy. Cost £54.99 GBP.

Just an observation, with highway pegs fitted, it there the potential for the valve covers to get marked when placing your feet on/off the pegs.

No. my feet are nowhere near the covers. The angle of the pictures shows them nearer to the cover than they are. The middle part of the fairing forces my little legs(31") outwards and my feet are only on the footrest. I can't move my feet closer to the engine. When folded they sit under the valve cover and with a quick look you wouldn't know they were there.

Fair enough and I suppose you have got valve cover guards fitted too.

Are you still using the highway pegs ?
Have you had any problems with them like them moving when you put your foot on them.
Do they help having them fitted.

Mine don't move. I very rarely use them even on long trips. I may rest one foot at a time but I find them a bit of a stretch with my short legs

I went with cheaper ones from AliExpress. I think I paid $30 for them. They have done a good job for me. I use them primarily on the super slabs. It's just pleasant to be able to change positions from time to time. :thumb:
