To scare people into taking it to the dealer for installation?

 

I did mine myself as well. Did not have to loosen up the belt or any thing like alot of people have already said. The only thing that I would sugest not to scratch anything is to cover up the tool with a cloth. Other than that just take the caps off and install new brackets. Its that easy!

 

Do the simplest thing first! I put them on my 06 Street bob and it took 15 minutes. NO NEED TO move rear wheel. It is tight, but can be done as long as you do not have sausage fingers!

 

Dittos what everyone else is saying, it's a bit tight to get your fingers in on the belt/left side but it doesn't take too much effort.


Now, to all that have done it: Does the vibration put your passengers feet to sleep within minutes?

 

Exactly! You pay them sixty bux to do it for you. Try to use tools that aren't to "chunky" and a torx bit that isn't too long. I had to cut and weld a crappy long torx bit to fit but that made it even more fun.

 

A good set of pegs does wonders. I use the skull set and wife thinks they are great. Also, the stock pegs are just as good. Thick rubber.

 

I just installed the kuryakyn iso pegs. The vibes seem about the same as the stock rubber pegs. I have never ridden beeotch though, lol.

 

another vote derived from experiance to no need for touching the wheel or loosening the belt
just be carefull and gentle dealingwith the left side.

anyone heard of grinding the little step in the peg mounting brackets that stops the pegs when folded and keeps them at 90deg to make the pegs fold tighter/closer to the bike?
(i hope i explained myself clearly enough)

 

Thank you everyone...it took a little longer then expected because the stealership forgot to give me the 1 1/2 in bolt that connects the pegs to the mounts, So I call them and ask what size it was and they tell me 1 inch.....so after buying the one inch bolt which is the WRONG SIZE I said F it and went riding with just the mounts attached......Overall very easy install thank again....pics coming soon!
