foot pegs
Hey guys,
I just bought some foot peg on ebay. The sales man said i should replace the snap ring with a bolt with a plastic nut insert. Any of you guys hear of this before? Can i just buy some new snap rings? thanks slick

RE: foot pegs
You can purchase replacement snap rings at the autoparts store, but I agree that a chrome button head bolt with an acorn nut and a lockwasher looks best. You can purchase the bolt and acorn nut at your local Andersons hardware if you live in the midwest. If not, you can order them from Fastenal or any other bolt distibutor.

RE: foot pegs
I got a new set of pegs installed on my XL1200L a while ago and they are waytoo loose for my liking. Not 'bounce around' loose, but enough for the passenger pegs to work themselves out from the storage position after a short ride.I've tried bending the washer to tighten things up with no luck.I think I'll try the standard bolt and nut option too. Why on earth did HDadopt the crappy snap-ring setup anyways?!
