in a wreck you either run out of skill, or run out of bike. on a harley, you're out of bike to begin with: ride smart.

Im not sure why they put these things on in the first place. Nice that they unscrew otherwise a session with a die grinder would be in order.

Change the brackets on the bike to an 09 style bracket. I changed mine and run whatever peg I want

Sounds like the customer found his.

I took mine off because it jammed my left leg every time I put my kickstand down.

Before we started making our own pegs I would grind them down to a nub in the corners, unscrew them and install new ones. Make great sparks for those riding behind ya, specially at night! lol
