islandmech Posted July 12, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) I am thinking of adding highway pegs to my 86 VR. Just wondering what folks have used for these bikes. The fairings are kind of in the way to stick my legs past but it would be nice to stretch out on the long rides. Pictures? Thanks, Gary Just did a search and found most of the info.....

Squidley Posted July 12, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 12, 2011 I have used these in the past http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/3809/Dually-ISO-Pegs-without-Adapters http://www.jcwhitney.com/custom-mount-elliptical-rail-foot-pegs/p2002576.jcwx?filterid=c14701o40j3 The 2nd one from JC Whitney are good quality and for the price are very hard to beat.

DaNetFlunky Posted July 17, 2011 Share #3 Posted July 17, 2011 I was thinking of trying to use a set of passenger floor boards instead of pegs. They would be forward and out from the driver floor boards. Any ideas, comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barend Posted July 17, 2011 Share #4 Posted July 17, 2011 I was thinking of trying to use a set of passenger floor boards instead of pegs. They would be forward and out from the driver floor boards. Any ideas, comments? I'm running offset highway boards on mine, had them in classified for about a year with no takers so I put them back on the bike (but we can talk). First thought on plain pegs is that they will point slightly forward unless you attach them on the vertical support of the engine guard which means you will be partially blocked by the guard itself and only the outside half will be available for your feet. Using the "longhorn" style pegs or boards will give you full use of the pegs and allow you to angle them in slightly to make your feet meet them more squarely. I like the boards on mine for long hauls, just not in the mountains and they kinda get in the way with the sidecar. I have not had issues with them scrapping but I am not an aggressive driver. Pay me the right price and I'll take mine of (they look pretty much like new) and send them to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grisolm1 Posted July 17, 2011 Share #5 Posted July 17, 2011 In the warmer months I remove the lowers. This makes for a much more comfortable stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingy Posted July 17, 2011 Share #7 Posted July 17, 2011 I made these up for my 83, little farther forward than the guard mounted style & more rigid. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mm482 Posted July 17, 2011 Share #9 Posted July 17, 2011 I have tried several types of pegs, but these fit me the best. They are Kuryakyn I bought off of ebay. I don't know the part # of them. Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send me your e-mail, just got a new phone today and have to try to figure out if the Droid platform can sync with Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
