I'm going to try and post a picture of the short angled brackets I have with the pegs. It's the image that you find on-line at HD. I have the same pegs and adjustable brackets, but I can't get the darn foot rest/pegs to stay solidly in place. They keep pushing/sliding toward the front of the bike. It seems to me that the tiny screws that come with the foot rest just won't stop the pegs from sliding out of place. It's not the brackts that are moving at all, just the pegs. Anyone know how to correct his:

Here goes on inserting the picture: I just saved the image from HD's site as a jpeg and now I'm clicking to upload and embed picture in post below:

I am not exactly sure if this response is what you are asking.....but you may have the pegs upside down. The little set screws are for acting as stops when folded up; if you have them on bottom they will not hold pegs in position. The pegs are made different and one way has stop made into them and the other way uses set screws to get them aligned when folded up.[sm=signs003.gif]

 

Yep, you got the left hand bracket on the right and the right hand bracket on the left. I think you can just pull the pegs and move the set screw stops to the bottom hole.

 

I'm not sure the other responders understood your post or are familiar with the Hwy pegs your running so here is what I can add (I have the same set-up only I have the mini wing pegs). Your not referring to the up or down peg stops (there are 2 guys on this set-up). I'm pretty sure what your trying to say is that the peg itself rotates on the stem towards the front. The small set screw your talking about being on the front of the peg? There are stop points within on the shaft. If you loosen that set screw (allen) just enough to allow the peg to rotate, then as your moving it (keep the allen wrench in place) and slightly tighten as you move towards where you want the peg. You should feel a slight detent where the allen set screw will catch. At this point back the peg rotation about 1/32-1/16 the opposite direction that you were rotating, then tighten the snot out of the allen. You really have to torque down on it. Just make sure you have the allen wrench all the way in the hex slot of the set screw so you don't strip it off. Once you think you have it tight enough try rotating the peg forward and back and then retorque again. I had to retorque mine 5 times before they finally stayed put for good. Hope this helps. Oh yeah, don't use loctite on this set screw, you'll never budge the screw again if you do...... T

 

One more thing, lol.. There are 2 up-down set screws on the levered arm. One for stopping the peg in the up and one for the down. One of my arms came with 2 set screws the other arm came with only one. The stock set screws are ok for top stop but might be a bit short for the down stop (mine were). You can remove one and take it with you to most any hardware store, where you can pick up longer screws (I did). Again be careful about using loctite on these set screws, I wouldn't advise using any.... Enjoy.... T

 

While at the dealer yesterday with my Tour pak problem, I was lucky enough to see the same pegs and short angle arms on a Road King. I talked to the owner and he had the same problem I had just not quite as bad.

First, I really was talking about the entire foot peg sliding forward not just rotating. Yes, the pegs were in correctly with the squared off end (not rounded) end facing the correct side to the stop screw. This is going to be difficult to explain unless you've put this short arm and peg on... But here goes:

The arm can rotate in the bracket attached to the engine guards to virtually any position. But this of course changes the angle that the
foot pegs will sit in the end of the short arm. You can have the bracket high or low on the engine guards and to compensate you can have the short arms angled up or down. In order to have the set screw that locks the peg work (not too far out) and to have the peg at a usable angle to your foot, you really need to have the short arms close to perpendicular to the ground, not angled down or up more than say 40 degrees. But you can only go so far with this if you have the lowers on because if you keep pushing the brackets out (toward the front of the bike) to get more distance, the bracket will hit the lowers.

In my original install, I had the brackets higher on the engine guards, with the short arm going low or haning down quite a bit. Much more thatn a 45 degree angle down maybe even 60 degrees down. (Assuming 180 degrees is perpendicular to the ground, and 90 is straing down). This meant that the peg square end stop was no where near the screw stop. I had to change the mouting bracket to a lower spot on the engine guards, move the short arm much more to almost level with the ground and rotate the clamp on the engine guard very, VERY close to the lower fairing. This allowed me to get he pegs stop screws to fit correclty.

Thanks for the help guys.

Ok? Joe you have me completely lost as to what your problem was/is. I run the same setup you are so I'm going to assume that what your problem was/is, the angle of the arm to the peg stop. If so you just have tto play around with the different positions until you find a spot that works. This can be both time consuming and frustrating. I found a spot where the pegs were in JUST the right spot but the "down" stop set screw was just a tad too short which allowed the peg to droop. I simply changed the set screws to a longer length.
I have to get some pic's taken of my bike, so while I'm at it, I'll shoot a closeup of my hwy-peg configuration. Like I said I'm still not sure what exactly you had rotating, but best of luck to you... T

 

I'm all set now... As I said, this is VERY difficult to describe and unless you've tried to put these pegs on these arms you probably won't know what I'm talking about.

But you are right on... You have to play and play, get off the bike and on it a bunch of time to find just the right position, angle etc... that fits for you AND ALLOWS the stops to work correctly.

It took me around an hour last night to get one side done. Once this side was finished, I quickly measured where one was (on engine guard, angle etc...) and did the same to the other side.

Thanks,
Joe

 

Joe, glad you got it worked out. Ride safe....... T

 

If you have any other problems with those mounts, then you will probably want to get rid of them and switch to the Kuryakyn 360 swivel mounts. I had them on my softail and they did not move a bit and the were very easy to install and did not have of the set screws and small parts you have been describing. They were solid and dependable and only about 60 bucks or so.

Good luck
