foot pegs on a venture

[KiteSquid]

Simple, just take some off of an antique bike rusting in a junk yard, like a 1st gen and get a machine shop to make you some mounting brackets.

 

Don't forget to get the shifter and brake levers, as you will need them two, with the new foot positioning with the pegs.

I've never had floor boards so i can't speak to that but being a touring sport rider for years i always liked pegs because usually they were under me so I could stand on them over rough road. i also could put pressure on them to help shift my weight in a turn and get some added control. Most boards are in front of you and don't let you leverage as good as a peg will let you.

I'm with you Gramps.... I had boards on the '91 and hated them. Went back to pegs and I'm a happy camper. Floor boards are great for short riders, but for those of us that are horizontally challenged with big feet, the foot wants to point down when the knee is tucked into the fairing and the foot is back on first gens. I've sat on 2ndGens and when I put my foot flat on the board my knee is in my chest. Not comfortable. Pegs, both back and highway, are the only thing that makes long distence riding possible. I can't understand why anyone would feel comfortable with their feet setting flat when the natural position is to be pointed down slightly. SO THERE>>>>TAKE THAT!!

 

I'm with you I also don't like boards. If I ride a bike with boards I always end up putting my feet on the very back of them half hanging off like a peg.

I know this is an old thread but did anybody put pegs on to replace the floorboards?
