Redstang4 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Other than using frame slides as such. Has anyone actually figured a proper way to mount highway pegs on a FZ07? I have searched many forums(yes this one included) and google and have not found a decent way to mount some. I have 50 sets of folding pegs,.. I received and had planed on mounting on a different bike(1 set that is). Seller sent me 50 instead of 1, then wanted me to pay to ship them back, HA! You want'em back, you pay for your mistake. They never paid, I have 50 set of pegs... @chicagoaj's suggestion: From the frame slider mount location. If you want it nicely done you'd have to get a piece of pipe with a closed end that fit in that frame tube. Drill a hole in the closed end for the engine mount bolt and have the tube extend out maybe an inch or 2 from frame. Get another piece of thick, flat metal or angle iron to mount to the tube. Either weld or with drilling/hardware. Then put a peg on the bottom of whatever you you attached to the tube/frame mount. Doesn't have to be super sturdy, you're just resting your feet there - not standing on them. However, if you make them super sturdy they might double as some kind of crash protection.

Essentially like using one of Higdonion's stunt cages. I would like to just mount them off the bike but with the engine being part of the frame...

Guest ChicagoAJ Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Can you post a picture of one of the 50 sets of pegs you have? I'm curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstang4 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Actually yea, never took them home from work since putting a 32 lbs box on a bike isn't the best idea I'd ever had. couple min.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ChicagoAJ Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Those would be perfect for how I'm thinking about mounting them. Obviously, they'll most likely get in the way when turning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstang4 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Forward mounted foot pegs cruiser like to stretch out for those longer trips. Yea the way you are thinking they may well scrap and just look bad. If we could mount them to the engine where a frame normally is would be perfect! But alas we don't have frame there. And I for one ain't to keen on screwing those into the engine block and resting my feet on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChicagoAJ Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 With this bike it's got to be ugly in order to be functional. Otherwise, there would already be a set available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
