RE: i lost it

When mine fell off, my bike was still under warranty, the dealer replaced it and my HD custom shift peg.

RE: i lost it

If you replace it, remember to use LOCKTITE BLUE on the threads of the shifter peg.

RE: i lost it

I just changed mine yesterday. My stock shifter pegs had LOCKTITE RED on them. I better redo the new ones. I didn't use any LOCKTITE on them.[sm=smiley12.gif]

nice. thanks for all the offers of pegs. i didnt feel like i could get used to having no peg. been using that setup for the last 4 years. so today i spent another $50 on non-chrome parts for the scoot. then the first couple miles i was only using my toe to shift. im getting back to using the whole thing now.

i dont remember where exactly it fell off at. i was getting off the interstate to get back on highway 136 west and almost fell off the bike trying to shift. good times

RE: i lost it

I had mine on there for 20000 miles and never had a problem with it at all.

Just took it off this spring cause I never used it anymore........best thing I ever did. More foot room, easier cleaning of the chrome, and it looks better.

RE: i lost it

Mine loosened up twice but I noticed it before it fell off.

I found that putting a small amount of grease under the head of the bolt allowed me an extra 1/4 turn when tightening. That and blue loctite has cured the problem. Don't use red loctite as it may need to come off at some point.
