to move the passenger pegs forward a few inches on my '97 Wide Glide so my wife's calves don't hit the saddle bags.
My question is: Will these mounts be strong enough to support the full weight of a passenger on one peg as they mount/dismount? Particularly, the lockable splines? Anyone have experience with these?
I can't say about the ones your link goes to but I've have the "under seat peg mounts" and they've held up great for quiet awhile. That may or may not help.
I would try passenger footboards, (My wife likes hers, She's 5'10" tall) Read the warning/caution about them in your link. Not sure how your Passenger mount.
I have these and my son is the only one who rides with me and he weighs 100 lbs. However when I first put them on, I put my full 250 lbs on one side and the bike would have fallen over before it broke. I was skeptical, and I only bought them as part of a package deal on some other stuff I wanted. However they were so sturdy and my son likes them better than the boards so they have stayed. I like them because it is easier for me with my stubby legs to maneuver in parking lots.
