What am i doing
wrong when i installed my Highway pegs to the mounting brackets. They are so hard to move from riding position to folding up position. ???? Any help appreciated.
That would seem logical that they are too tight but backing off any and the bolt can be turned with your finger. I am thinking it is something to do with placement of the lil flat washer kind of thing. ??????
That wave washer belongs between the slot in the bracket and the protrusion on the peg. It should be a tight fit going in but will loosen up once installed. Also don't overtighten the cap screw. Put some locktite on it and screw it in until it's just snug. Put a few drops of oil between the peg and the bracket (in the clevis/slot). Work 'em back and forth and you're good to go. Don't leave out the locktite or you'll lose the footpeg.

Actually, I just went out and checked mine and the flat side is down, when the peg is extended. I don't think it really matters.
