I purchased the HD 360 highway peg mounts ... Now that I have them installed, they won't swivel past the engine bar (kinda makes it a 180, I guess) ... I figure that I must be doing something wrong ... any ideas? [&:] could there be an extender?
Don,
I just installed them myself and could not belive that when it was said and done I had about
two and a half hours into it. This is what I came up with hope it helps.
You have got them on right. If you want to go past the ennine guard take them apart and put them on the otherside. It is strange because mine will swivel all the way around. No ext. are required.
I was into this question a month ago and got talking to a fella named Brian on thi site..He strongly hinted not to use these..There seems to be a design flaw and to keep them from not moving he had tightend them to the point of breaking something. Then he had to drill them out and put a set screw into the swivel area to keep things in place. I have ULTRA and used the other mounts HD sells. They have a long and a short version. I tried the long and had small issues..Then swapped them for short version..On in 10 minutes and fit like a glove and will not have the swivel issue..He warned me about the mount you are talking about and if ya look at it you can see thee problem is when ya put any force on the peg..it swivels away from you because unable to get thing snug without breakage..Maybe I am wrong but I for sure found great luck with the other mount..IMHO
I read that thread and I was steering away form the 360's until I found a couple of local folks who installed them (with the Kuryakyn switchblades) and had no problems whatsoever ... I have the switchblades on mine & although I do not have the mounting setup just how I want it (yet), the darn things ain't moving a bit ... I put a lot of pressure on them and they're stuck.
