Highway peg placement - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Jayhawkk · 02-21-2006, 05:38 PM

Just bought a engine guard along with highway pegs for my 2005 c90 and my first problem seems that I have tightened them pretty damned tight to the bar but they seem to still move forward and back. Second, where exactly are your feet supposed to go? Is it a preference thing or something to shoot for? Middle of foot or heel resting on top etc?

Any help or input is appretiated, thanks.

Hey Jayhawkk,
Well, I don't have either yet but my guess would be that the pegs are for a bigger bar then the one you have. Some bars are 1" and some are 1 1/4" I believe. As far as placement, I would guess that only you can deside what is comfortable for you.

Well I bought the pegs with the bars and they had two bracket fittings with the ones i'm using being the smaller of the two. As far as placement, I can be comfortable with the heel of my foot resting on the top of the pegs or with my mid sole resting on them. I just wasn't sure which was considered more 'proper'

Thanks though, i'll double check the sizing and see if maybe I screwed something up but it's toodamn cold right now
