Question Swap HD48 Sportster front foot peg mount

The foot peg mount on my 2014 48 is one of the uneven ones, and I'd like to replace it as most of the replacement pegs won't fit this style.





Two questions.

How does the mount come off?
And where can I find replacement mounts?

Remove the Allen head bolt (barely pictured) and it should come free.
You can also cut the extended flange even with the the aft side.
Replacements can be found at the dealer.

Thanks Guzzi - you wouldn't happen to know what part I'd be asking for, do you? I keep searching for it and keep coming up with passenger mounts which isn't what I want at all.

(knew about cutting the flange, but trying not to cut anything on the bike in case I want to sell it stock one day)

My 13' 1200C has the same issue. No pegs really work

What is the purpose to this uneven fork/peg design anyway?

THANKS!

Snap a pic and show it to the parts person. They should be able to find out when the mount was updated and sell you a part from an earlier model.
Kuryakan makes adapters and pegs to fit our later model Sportsters.

i guess people are cutting the longer flange to the same length as the shorter and then using any peg they want... have you tried searching yet?

Quick follow up.

Went to a local HD dealership. I had hoped for someone a bit more helpful, but that wasn't the case. She did provide me with a print out of the area in question. (She seemed to know what she was talking about but just didn't have any interest in helping me.)

There is a replacement part, which she said at first she didn't have. Then she looked for another sportster, and she did have the part. Pretty sure it's the same part. Anyhow, it doesn't look like they make a non-offset female clevis.



Guess I'll be grinding if manufacturers don't start making pegs which fit this odd. Feels like an area ripe for someone to take advantage (yes, I'm aware DK makes a few which will work for this).

There's been a lot of people that have had good luck just cutting down the clevis to fit standard pegs. That's what I'm doing on mine. Drug the stupid feeler spike going through a roundabout in Daytona, snapping it off and bending my foot peg. Hopefully, getting rid of that offset will give me a little bit better lean angle too.

Thanks Mick
Presumably those would do the trick - I'd just need to call them about fitment since a 2014 XL1200X isn't listed.

It also looks like Joker Machine makes several pegs which fit this offset clevis mount.
