front pegs

Post by mr pibbs »

on longer rides , i find myself looking for some front pegs. I saw theseand thought they could be made to work.

Thoughts? Could it be done and not look ridiculous with stock plastics?

u wanna put them on a spree, aero, elite or otherwise?

i would just about say yes, because the frame that holds the floorboard down is right there and already has bolts in it.

Elite. But I am less apt to spend $200 on some highway bars when that is half the price I paid for the whole bike.

Place an add on CL that you are looking for some take off pegs for a custom build. You can pick em up cheap that way. I paid $10 for pegs.

The front headlights on my spree serve for some nice "calf" rest-ers. just kick my foot right up there... granted I'm a smaller guy so I can get away with it without doing damage to the lights/plastic...

I've had the same though but at 150+ i think i'll just stick with my front turning lights.

works for jet skis and snowmobiles too but I've never had the balls (or was it agility :roll: ) to try it on the pavement with a bike.

I'll measure for you tomorrow. That is nice but really pricey for all the more it is. :?

Yes, I've seen that done with sockets and broken extensions too. A four way wrench looks good if your bike is naked.
