Swing Pegs - Any thoughts?

[technoguppy]

Hello fellow Captains,

I don't want to add dresser or engine bars to my Rocket III Classic. I am considering replacing the floorboards (and going to toe only shifter) using Kuryakyn Swing Wing Pegs. Just curious if anyone has rode with them before and if they have any thoughts about them (or other Kuryakyn footpegs).

Kryakyn - Metric - SwingWing Pegs

If you have experience with them:
- do they work well?
- do they rattle or vibrate
- to they provide what they intend to (aka a significant change in riding position to offer relief)
- anything else you could share would be useful

Thanks in advance,

I tried them, but unfortunately none of the adapters fit the rocket. Kuryakan has a set that they say fit, but they are radiused the wrong way and do not allow the pegs to flex.

Yep, I have those... AND also visited in ditch cause they wont flex... No worries when they r open, but when closed they are approx 1" lower than original so in corners you have to be careful!

They're rigid?!? Wow, that IS asking for trouble.

Yep almost, I had two choices frontgrill of a Ford or out of the road... I took the second one

I appreciate the insight. Maybe I will have to go to dresser bars and highway pegs after all.

Thanks again!

I think that's a good decision, having pegs that stab the pavement like a pivot can get you in all kinds of trouble.

Hmm, HF wonder if flip would be interested in making some brackets to bolt to the foot peg brackets! I have an idea for an adjustable design Ive been thinking about!
