When I mounted forward controls on a previous bike I was careful to make sure the foot pegs were mounted so they would pivot up when I dragged a peg. Or else the peg would catch when leaned in a turn and bad things would happen.
Do I have to be equally careful on crash bar pegs? I would think not, because if I catch one of these something really bad has already happened, right? I'm considering mounting them so they pivot 90 degrees to the road. Is this okay?
depends how sharp ya like to turn. Ive thought about this with pegs i resently mounted.Could just put up if feel like makin sharp turns. Its a trade off?
