Does anyone have the Kurkakyn switchblade front highway pegs? I looked at a pair yesterday and the fold out heel rest felt very loose when unfolded (very tight when foleded up) and I wonder if it rattles. Can this be tightened up or would you just have to live with it? Thanks.

 

Saw the switchblades, looked really good. Frankly I don't see the reasoning. I have the old Kurkakyn heal rests that don't fold. I could never see a reason to fold them up! Really love the feel of the rests. Not quite foot boards, but a hell of a lot better than plain pegs. You won't be sorry!

 

Added matching heel rests to the HD pegs on my softail and they made a good difference, as far as them rattling? No idea.

 

My Dad has them on his DWG, and likes them. He never folds them up, so really I don't see the point of them, and would get the regular heel rests.

 

I don't know about the rattle ... but there were a number of folks on a Poker Run this last weekend that swore by them ... kinda neat that you can tuck them up when riding around town ...

I just ordered a set from M&M Cycles (got 25% off buying before Jan 16th!!!) ... think they regularly sell them at 20% off ....

 

I installed a pair of the ISO pegs with heel rest. They mounted so loosley that they wiggled under my feet and would not stay up when folded. I got some brass shim stock, cut a strip and wrapped it around the mounting bolts. Perfect fit! You might consider doing a little modification like this if you really like the switchblades.

 

I just bought them for myself for christmas. Don't have them on yet. I saw them when I was in Sturgis 2005 at the Kuryakyn tent and decided they were for me. I liked the flip down heel rests. It gives me a third position for my feet.

Just put them on the new bike. Seem to be secure, but haven't been able to try them while riding.

 

I had the ISO stirrups on my Roadking and loved them. They can be loose like someone commented but there's a large nut that you use to tighten them up and they never moved one me again..and I would put a lot of weight on them when riding to shift positions etc...

I was just looking at their site yesterday and think I am going to go with a pair of their Pilot pegs on my Street glide. The stilettos look cool too, but dont think I'd ever fold it in and seems like one extra moving part that I don't need to worry about breaking or coming loose etc...

 

I have switchblades on my wideglide.When I am riding hard,or riding twisties I keep them folded in.I can scrape them pretty easy.I do lean hard in some corners.They do not rattle when they are extended.For longer trips they sure are nice.The only complaint I have was that they loosened up once when I put too much weight on the heal.That was my fault.......I have since tightened the crap out of them.......overall I like them,and don't regret having them on.
