Question about HD Billet footpeg mounts...

I just purchased the HD Billet Engine Guard Footpeg mounts... the instructions say the mounts should be installed such that the foot pegs are inside the crash bar... I'm wondering if I can just turn the mounts so the foot pegs would end up outside the engine guard... is there something I'm not getting as to why the directions say what they do???

Thanks...

Liability. If the MOCO says you can mount them with the pegs sticking out beyond the
crash bars & you are riding & they catch on something, guess who gets sued? So, they have to tell you to mount them inside the bars, even though I've never seen anyone do that as you'd have to be a contortionist to get your feet on them. So, yes, you can. But I didn't tell you to!

Good luck with yours. Be sure to use locktite. I went down on pavement to dirt to pavement and then water/dirt and the peg/mount took a beating but didnt budge!
