Default Help with sportster foot pegs

I have a 2011 Nightster w/ forward controls. Just purchased the bike and wanted to change out the foot pegs. Every footpeg I find is a male end footpeg. Mine need to be a female end foot peg and a male end Clevis that comes off the forward controls any help? I can’t seem to find any footpegs of this design... they are all the exact opposite with the footpeg being the mall end and the forward control Clevis being the female

Try searching for "engine guard foot pegs", they sometimes are the reverse mount like you have.

I tried searching. Didn’t come up with much. No one has a fix for this?

What about the "post" coming out of your forward controls, is that something that can be unthreaded from the end of the forward control and the other kind of end threaded in? I see a Harley logo on the rod but is the rest of the forward control genuine Harley or aftermarket? if so can you find a brand name on it?

I found these with a quick google search, not many to choose from it seems but I'm sure there are more than just these.

You're going to have nothing but trouble finding pegs for that style clevis. That is NOT factory. I would try finding the factory shafts and replacing those non factory units.

(You will be able to find some pegs, as HOTLAP did, but the selection is very limited.)

If you're a tall guy and want to stretch out more, kill two birds with one stone and get these Forward Extensions.

I sent you a message on Facebook earlier today. But would you’re offset to standard adapters for sportsters work? Looks like it would replace exactly what I need to replace it with.

Thank you! You’ll most likely see an order placed for them if I don’t find an alternative.
