Cycle Pirates 360* Adjustable Foot Peg Mounts

Buellxb Forum

Help Support Buellxb Forum:

Ok, so I got my pegs (and levers too), but there is a bit of an issue.. Earlier in this thread someone asked if the could be mounted onto the rear pegs as well, but it appears there is a problem with this.. The rear pegs use a spring and ball bearing situation with a plate that allows them to lock into position, up or down.

Without the hole for the spring and ball bearing in the universal mount, the pegs will just rattle around in the down position. From what I can tell, if the mounts had the correct depth and diameter hole in the correct position, you could easily use the plate, spring and ball bearing from the original peg mount to make it work....

But as it stands, out of the packet there doesn't seem to be a way to make the Cycle Pirates pegs mountable in the pillion positions.

Is there any way to correct this, or does someone have an alternative solution?

Gotta keep the rear pegs for wifey, and REALLY want to match the front Cycle Pirates pegs which look great thus far....

Please help:)

Post some pics to help me understand what your working with. Someone on here posted that they mounted the CP pegs on the rear. May have been a different model bike.

The foot peg and mount above the CP mount in these photos is a replacement one from ASB, that incorporates the spring, ball bearing and spacer plate from the original rear peg unit.

When installed they lock into position - up, or down, with the sprung ball bearing seating itself in the lugs/holes of the spacer plate. One annoyance is the ASB pegs seem just a little askew in either position -(not straight when up OR down), and so I like the adjustability and colour of the CP mount, as well as much preferring the CP pegs.

From the looks of things it seems like it's probably just a matter of the CP mount having the correct diameter/depth hole drilled in the correct place, and then everything should work..(?) Any thoughts/advice much appreciated

Ever check if those mounts were available in color? I'm definitely ordering a pair, debating between 68 and 80 though....

Turns out a hole won't do it...:-(
The area that requires the hole, is not thick enough to accomodate a hole of the required depth. In other words, it drilling would pierce one side and thus not hold the spring in place... This is really becoming difficult to use as a rear peg option :-(
 
Pegs can't mount to OEM ones, no... I could re thread some ASB ones I have but they're alloy colour (not black) and more importantly they aren't quite straight aligned in either up or down position, which was one of the reasons I went for the Cycle Pirates ones... Not trying to be a pain in the ass here, just letting you guys know, is all.. Need to find another way, but trying to avoid having to get a whole new mount machined if possible.
