The footpeg mount on these forwards is a flush mount Allen bolt and the guy sold them to me installed. I want to loosen and twist them a little they aren't set the right way to fold up and toward me. I think he used green loctite they won't budge even with a cheater bar. Question is, can I put heat on these without damaging the chrome?
Yes just don't over do it, you don't need it cherry red, and concentrate on the bolt, with a wet rag on the rest.

I bought the forwards off a guy locally they are kuryakyn. Not sure about the pedal if it would be compatible. I'm interested in any ideas. I'm going to check their site now see if it's not even the right pedal
Found your problem.
Also, green locktite is easy to take apart, as is blue. There is probably red locktite on there, which is a biatch to get loose. Temps of 325F are needed to break it.
Another question. This Corning moly 44 that I need to get for the brake pins, is there anything else suitable or is this the only brand that will work? Want to ask before I start the auto parts store hopping since it usually takes 4-5 before I find what I need. Thanks
About your brake pedal being in the way. I don't think they were manufactured to be able to put your foot under it. I would think that in an emergency it would take to long to get on the brake an BAM.....just a thought.......
Your foot rides under the brake pedal on a dresser. Most of us have not been killed.
That CRC brake caliper grease should be fine for your caliper pins. I actually have a dab of HD wheel bearing grease on mine at the moment. I haven't been killed yet either.
