Default Question about pegs
What is the best tool to remove and install front pegs on a bike. Do you remove the clip or use a wrench and unscrew the mount. I am going to change mine and my wifes pegs out, mine matches her grips
THanks

If you mean just the foot pegs you will need some c-clamp pliers to pull the c-clamp apart and off the bottom of the post that holds the female end of the peg to the male end of the foot control. Then just slide the peg off put the new one on and reverse the take off!
