GigaWhiskey Posted March 28, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2008 Really just curious here. Us drivers on the first gen can put a set of highway pegs on the engine guards for ourselves. Has anyone added a set of pegs on the MKI saddlebag guards for the passenger that did not effect the driver? A curious mind wants to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted March 28, 2008 Share #2 Posted March 28, 2008 No, but I did put a set of stock '86 up floorboards on my '84 to make the navigator happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timk Posted March 28, 2008 Share #3 Posted March 28, 2008 A set of boards that fit in between the "hole" in the rear crash bar They had 3 positions and were called "Star Steps". Some called them "Jacobs Ladders". I had a set on mt 86. I had them for riding my children when they were "altitude challenged". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some called them "Jacobs Ladders". I had a set on mt 86. I had them for riding my children when they were "altitude challenged". The pads you're talking about are these, but they only fit on a MarkII, and the saddle bag guards need a plate to mount them to. I can't see anyone replacing the entire guard just to add these things. Most guards I've seen are missing the plate. I just took a look at my '83 and I can't see how any pegs could be added and not have them poke the rider. The bag guard ends towards the back of the passenger seat, and if you found a way to mount the pegs where the passenger could use them, somebodies going to be very unconfortable.....

Gearhead Posted March 31, 2008 Share #6 Posted March 31, 2008 My wife is on the taller side and likes her legs to be straighter while sitting. I made a set of hiway pegs for her that fold out, putting her feet just behind and outboard of mine, and fold back under the pass. board. I made these from scratch and haven't seen anything like them anywhere else. Unfortunately I have no picture to send you. They hinge on a bracket I made that mounts using the forward two pass. board bracket bolts. When folded in, they look unobtrusive, mostly hidden by the board. When out, they aren't exactly a fashion statement, I suppose. Her feet can be in the way when we come to a stop, so she knows that when stopping she needs to put her feet on the stock boards. Since the pegs hinge back, if I drag one it will be OK, and if I come to a stop with the peg out (no foot on it) and it bumps into the back of my calf, it will simply fold back. Best of all, she loves 'em! Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
