Default Highway Peg Mounting Kit Installation Question

p/n are 50829-07A and 50576-05. I've done the forum search but couldn't find the answer. Is there any film/sheet/cushion thin enough that I can use to protect the engine guard from scratches when mounting the clamp mount? Also, when footpegs are not in use, do they pivot up or away? If yes, do they pivot from the joint where they are attached (clevis area) to the long-angled arm? Is it possible to engage/disengage footpegs just with some foot action?

Since both arm and clamp mount have a "cogged face", am I correct to conclude that it does not allow for pivoting when mounted?

Thank you all for your assistance.

I wrapped mine with silver (Grey)duct tape.So far has held up very well!!!... My bikes not a show piece and i originally wrapped the bar till i could decide on positioning but it turned out OK so i left it.. My pegs pivot up so i can drop them on the fly.Good Luck

all depends on the type of pegs you have as to the pivot action. I can flip mine up or down with my toe.

Just make sure the bars and clamps are very clean before assembling and you should be fine.

When trading in my 09, I removed the highway pegs and found no mark at all on the bars.

The pivot direction I used was to fold back. My thinking is, with the highway pegs being the widest part of the bike, if I were to brush against an object while riding, they would simply fold back and cause no other chain of events.

I have mine mounted so that I can pivot the pegs up when I'm not using them. I think they look better like that. I have the bolt loose enough that I can easily move them into and out of position with my boot while underway.

ya you want them to pivot out of the way if you hit something.

Great question! I use smooth, vinyl electrical tape, wide enough that I can trim to fit the width of the clamp. The outer surface stretches to form a perfect fit and the inner surface sticks really well. It works like a charm.

If your concerned wrap the bar with a piece of 3-M paint protection film.
