Mid pegs for extra foot rests on Wide Glide

Shortly after purchasing my Street Bob back in 2010 I added the forward controls to my bike. Much like you I wanted somewhere else to put my feet and found myself putting my feet on my primary cover and timing hump. So I re-installed the mid mounts and pegs. But then I found myself hitting the mid peg when I would put my feet on the ground. So I decided to modify the peg and leave the mount. I took the stock peg and cut it down to the pivot point, drill and tapped it to receive a shift peg, shorter and doesn't stick out as far, but still provides enough area for my feet to rest. I often find that when I ride, I ride with my left foot on the forward control and the right on the mid most of the time, but it is nice to be able to move around while riding. Also, with the apes on I can use the mids to stand on when I go over a bump or hole.
After removing the rubber I cut it down (at the red line) and ground it down to the flat part (blue line) and drilled and trapped (green)

Hey, that's awesome!
All I need are the brackets. I'll worry about the pegs later but would be awesome if I could find a machine shop to do me up some pegs like those.

All you really need is a hack saw, orbital or belt sander, a vise, a drill w/drill bit and tap, oh an some elbow grease. Just cut the peg as close as you can to the lip near the pivot point, put the pivot side in a vice and then sand it down. The drill and tap it. Not hard really, just a little time consuming.

I would check with some of the local dealers and see if any of the mechanics have some take off's in their tool boxes...........Just a thought.

I put 'em on my '06 for the very same reason you mentioned. Took a long RoadTrip in '08, and was aching for an alternate foot position. I bought a set from a fellow Forum member. Once I had 'em on though, I've almost never used them! Weird. I have the chrome ones. Gonna remove the right side as soon as I finish my belt replacement. Already have the left one off. I'm willing to part with them for $40+shipping, if you're interested.
