I installed both the brake and shift peg covers (Kuryakyn part number 8851) this week. They probably took about 15 minutes for both. It's an easy job, but I thought there were a few items to point out.

I didn't want to cut the original covers, so I used a thin screwdriver to break the glue seal from both sides of the peg. I was able to work the peg off easier with the screwdriver on the inside of the peg.

Some people commented on the size of the peg. They are a little bigger, but not huge.

Here is the exposed peg:

Wrap 2-3 turns of electrical tape around the peg. YMMV...

Test fit. If it barely turns, and the rubber is not flaring, you have a good fit.

"This is glue... Strong stuff..." (Obscure movie reference) Place glue on the inside of the peg. The pegs did not come with the glue. I was replacing grips at the same time.

Line up the peg and secure allen screw with a .050 (smallest wrench in existence I think). Be careful not to overtighten until you hear a snap (which I did)

Here is the shift peg:

Here is the brake peg:

Enjoy!!!

Thanks! When I see mods that do not have a write-up, I will try to add one... They do look sharp... I am planning on getting the widow pegs and iso-stirrups and I think they will look good together.

Nice write-up. I will have to check them out when we meet up. I have been wanting to do something with my shifter and brake.

Added them on mine as well, they look good & work well. Nice write up

Gotta do this!

I really wish I could do this with Avon's pegs so they'd match my grips...

 

[DraEagWol]

Just what i was looking for. Great Job!

Maybe I missed something???

Does this mean you don't have to cut the stock shift lever off and drill the arm to attach the new one?
These just slip OVER the pegs once the stock rubber is removed?

Link to the parts??

That is correct. Slide off or cut the original cover off. Then wrap some tape, fit, glue, then tighten set screw... let dry...

Those are nice wonder if I can take the rubber off so I can paint them black.

I think if you are careful you can get the rubber out.

Looks good!

Tx for the info. Since the instructions did not list the Allen wrench size, I called Kuryakyn. They didn't know either. That the instructions say "hex key set". Good luck finding a set that includes the .050 you thankfully referenced. Kuryakyn would do well including this wrench with the peg. Heck, cheapo put-it-together-yourself furniture includes this type of stuff.
Thanks again.
