Highway peg mount - WTF?
Highway peg mount - WTF?
So I'm on the Harley site looking at foot pegs mounts, and I see the picture of mine, but they look different. So I check out the instruction sheet and sure enough, I have mounted mine backwards to what they show (you know, normal for everyone else). So I'm wondering who has actually mounted them like the MoCo does in their photo, and how wierd is it?
What benefit would this mounting option provide? Seems like a pretty backwards install to me.

If you mean inside vs outside the engine guard bar....won't work on the inside...at least not for me. Not even sure why the show that. I have a size 11 shoe and there's no way I could get my shoe above the brake pedal and below the top of the engine guard bar. Not going to happen.
I mounted mine on the outside and they work great. I had to turn them in a bit so I could reach them but it was very comfortable.

Bass Ackwards!
The pic looks backwards. Don't you have them mounted on the OUTSIDE of the crash bar? I use my hywy. platforms to stretch out on (not in) and catch a breeze during the summer up the pants legs.

That was a good catch. Must be the Jack Kevorkian signature model
