cheapo foot pegs

[jinks]

After a long weekend run, I found I needed front foot pegs. My legs and ass got cramped. So I had some pegs from another bike project and put them on. This was the fastest simplest way to do it, LOL. I drilled a hole in the crash bar,...installed a piece of pipe inside so they wouldn't crush ,...put the long bolt through with red Lock-tight, and cranked it tight. Its kinda Redneck, but It Works. very solid...they don't swivel like the clamp ones I've used before.

I think I might just do the same thing. Quick fix to a problem I experience every time I ride.

why dont you just put your foot on the crash bar?

For me that isn't very comfortable, need a wider stance to prevent cramping.

The frame braces push my legs out a little farther and the bars are not wide enough, plus they are shiny slippery chrome and your feet just slide off with ridding boots on.
The pegs I installed are "angled" back to keep my boots from sliding "outwards" and off.

curious is that in usa most riders install forward sets and in europe most people look for some that offer a more sport positions.
wider country,wider travels?

Definitely.
On longer rides I use my OEM crash guards as foot rests but I like the stock foot peg position for better control in the curves.

Probably more fossilized owners in U.S. and Canada, required more room to stretch out cramping legs, and take pressure off of aching backs:biglaugh:
Cheers!

I totally get it. I need to consider this also, in some form or fashion. Tired butt and legs cramping on long runs. Those look great...nice fabrication.

A lot less expensive them the sets we make. The stock width on the guards just isn't wide enough especially on the waterpump side. The folding pegs make all the difference.

WOW,...I Like those ALOT ! Had I have seen those this winter,..they'd be on my bike right now. Nice Fab !!

I put these on my bike.. You have to tighten them down good, but they work.

I have a solution that has worked for me. I used those Refined cycle highway pegs and put some generic HD pegs on them but still I needed widen the stance even more and moving them out was nice to so I snagged some of these adapter dealies off Ebay and it's about perfect now. Pic coming shortly.

It's not a super cheap option but looks clean and works great.
