i got some of those uly pegs i was going to try. so whats the trick to putting them on besides "watch out for flying objects"? after shooting the spring all the way across the garage i figure i'd ask before I lose a spring or put an eye out. i put on the high bars today. Not sure if i like them yet or not... it is like a different bike that is for sure. | ||

i have the same setup. uly pegs and high bars. I get the feeling that the bike is high in the rear now, but i have not done ANY suspension dialing yet. I think that setting the sag will help this alot | ||

When I put my Uly pegs on, I knew the springs would fly, so I was gentle with them, and only did one side at a time so I could see how to put the spring back on by looking at the other side. | ||

Stick a phillips screwdriver through the mount, peg & spring from the bottom hole as you push the hollow mounting pin through from the top. You have to push down on the spring with your thumb to get it lined upwith the holes as you stick the screwdriver through to keep everything lined up. | ||

the screw driver is a good idea. I also used a rubber mallet to tap the pin in. It doesn't have to line up perfect. Once you get the pin started, it will pull the spring into position. | ||

Footpeg replacement is a practical test to determine if you should really be working on your own bike. If it is really a challenge, then you have your answer. I have the those pegs and they are awesome. | ||

If the footpegs are a problem please have someone look at the handlebar conversion I am not being a smart ass here if you don't do that right you could get seriously F'ed up. This is not a rip or anything like that it's ok not to be mechanicaly inclined knowing your limits is quite often a good thing, Hope everything goes good for you | ||

Ok whatever I tried those suggestions before I even posted this I am not a complete moron contrary to popular belief I hate working on the ground that might be part of it would be a lot easier on my lift | ||

I don't have a lift at home either, I have a kneeboard, like you can get at most garden stores or places like Home Depot. Working on the ground does suck. | ||

These pegs are best in combination with the firebolt seat. I'm 6-1 and this made a big difference for me. | ||

I have the high bars, touring seat, and lightning pegs. It was a good exercise installing them pegs, you will get them eventually, don't let it frustrate you too much. | ||

just as i thought... once the bike was on the lift it took maybe one minute per side. i have the firebolt seat high bars and uly pegs now. the riding position is a lot more relaxed. someone was saying the bike wheelied easier with the high bars but not for me. maybe i'm not used to it yet. also i put on the hr1 riot exhaust it is LOUD. louder than my 1856cc harley with a D&D on it i'd say (Message edited by hdwrenchtx on December 06, 2009) |
