I put Givi crashbars on my S10, and now I want some decent road pegs for it. What do you use?
I can't be certain that I've seen highway pegs for the Givi's. Looking at how my feet would have to go from sitting in the saddle, I think it would be tricky to get something that would work for any period of time. YMMV. I'll do some more research and see what I can come up with.johnnail said:I put Givi crashbars on my S10, and now I want some decent road pegs for it. What do you use?
I like the location of those down low. What was your source?japako said:These work ok..
I made the brackets and bought the pegs off Ebay for 27.00. They appeared to be Kury knock offs, but not bad. I had everything powder coated.BaldEagle said:I like the location of those down low. What was your source?

Old, worn out knees and long ridesPoohbear said:You guys and your highway pegs I really don't get it :-\
multiple 800-1000 mi. days in a row. The knees need to unbend for a while. I live in Eastern US and ride out to Colorado and Utah to ride in the mountains. Several long days on the Interstate system to cover the 2000 miles to get to the fun parts, then long days back. I usually take a detour on the way back to visit relatives in the Midwest or South. My trips the past two summers were 6000+ miles. My recent planned trip was almost 9000 miles. A little different terrain than the UK, I think.Poohbear said:You guys and your highway pegs I really don't get it :-\
poobear have you ever ridden on a full tank with out stopping, with out putting your feet down probably not.Poohbear said:You guys and your highway pegs I really don't get it :-\
Unfortunately, that is how our friend, Alan, injured his ankle when he hung his legs too low and his foot caught on the pavement and was slammed back into a foot peg. I don't know if that is what ultimately led to his recent ankle fusion surgery, but I do know he doesn't hang his legs any more.RonH said:I do highway pegs same way on every bike I've even owned and that is hanging my legs out sideways to stretch, forward, backwards ect. I never wanted or needed pegs. Mostly on this bike. It sits up high enough where hanging legs is easy.
Take a chill pill limey, I was just saying I don't get it. I didn't say it was wrong or bad, just that I personally don't get it, I would guess most people in the UK wouldn't get it either because I don't think I have ever seen them here, except on a Hardley (other cruisers are available). At the risk of wearing the expression out "each to their own!"limey said:poobear have you ever ridden on a full tank with out stopping, with out putting your feet down probably not.
I've used highway pegs of varied design & quality, even highway blades on other motorcycles I have owned. I never used the forward foot rests as much as I thought I might, but the respite to the legs in a forward position is good for helping to keep the stiffness away. Letting your legs dangle a bit or standing on the pegs can helps also.RonH said:It sits up high enough where hanging legs is easy.
