Default Tightening heel hooks/pads.

My wideglide has the pieces that bolt to the stock pegs, and i believe are called heel hooks/pads, where you set your heel when feet are on the pegs. my left side wants to work its way down when riding, but my right one is solid. how are these installed, and how can i tighten up my loose one? Thanks

I'm not sure of your exact application, but there is probably a recessed set screw under the bottom. Check there and tighten.

Posting some photos of your set-up may help us to help you.

Have you checked the footpeg to see if it's loose from the mount? I know my kury isopegs with stirrup have an allen bolt I can loosen to adjust peg pitch and stirrup pitch.

If they are Kuryakyns, take the peg off from the end with a 1/4" allen wrench and it will give you access to the rather large nut that holds the stirrup arm in position. It may take you a few tries to get the adjustment exactly where you want it.

I think you can fit an adjustable wrench around that large nut. Enough to be able to tighten it.
