I know a lot of you guys have forward controls, but I prefer mid mounts. If there’s anyone else out there that likes mid mounts, you might be interested in these pegs.
I had heard a lot about Kuryakyn ISO™-Stirrups, so
I installed a set of the #8075 ISO-Stirrups with Large ISO-Pegs. They list for 99.95, I paid 79.95.
On long rides my feet would begin to hurt (not until long after my butt though) and a Honda guy mentioned that he had these on his bike. He said it should take care of the problem. So, I installed ‘em, and have had them on for a couple of weeks. They were really easy to install and went on in no time. A circlip pliers set will help.
They are really comfortable and I notice that my feet don’t get tired anymore. They isolate vibration (what vibration, it’s a rubber mount for crying out loud!) and the stirrup supports the back of your foot.
On the downside, from the pic you can see that they stick out a little bit. I’m having to get used to bumping my shins on them occasionally if I don’t watch it when I stop at a light or something. Also, when I reach for the kickstand, the left side one gets in the way a bit. Might have to get a kickstand extension. With the huge HD brake pedal/peg mount on the right, that one really seems to stick out. Haven’t dragged the pegs yet so I don’t know if they’ll be in the way then. The right side folds all the way up, but the shifter side contacts the derby cover when folded. I guess this could be a problem if the bike was laid down. Don’t know which would give first, the peg mount or the cover. Since I’m really hoping to not lay it down, I hope I never find out.
So far these are really cool. If I have any problems down the road, I’ll post ‘em.
