Default Fat Baggers Inc Jack Knife Highway Pegs **Review**

Installed the FBI fold away jack knife highway pegs tonight http://store.fatbaggers.com/chfbijapefor.html very easy to install with minimal modifications to the floor boards. I took her for a little scoot. Love 'em. Very comfortable. Quality, fit and finish is excellent, The fact that they tuck away under the floorboard was a major selling feature for me. They do have slightly more up and down play/flex than I would have thought but still a fantastic product. I am very happy. I would give them a 8.5 out of 10. Maybe even higher after a long roadtrip.

I also purchased their backrest relocation hardware kit. But have not yet installed it.

If you contact IMT (www.imtnebraska.com) they will offer you a gusset insert that will take that play/flex out for you.

Adding the gusset is definitely the way to do. We have them on our house Street and Road Glides and wouldn't trade them for the world. Best of all, Nick McKim and everyone at IMT are first class people who not only make great products but provide great customer service.

BTW...if you give IMT a call they will send out the gussets to you. They are actually now included but weren't on older shipments.

Thanks all. I have contacted Nick and I am sure he will help me out. FYI I've done some pretty long days on those pegs since the install and love 'em. 9.5 out of 10!

I am a 32" inseam and I have an HD Badlander seat. I know where you're going with this and it's a very good inquiry. I will say if my legs were any shorter I'd have a hard time keeping my feet on those pegs. Plus if I had the factory seat on which is taller, it might be a stretch too. But with my current set up it's perfect.
