- Harleys can't not have highway pegs! Somehow I have been rolling around on my @harleydavidson Road Glide for the last few months without highway pegs, and I finally get around to solving that. For the first time ever, I event went with mini boards! Let's also talk about why sometimes OEM parts are best, and Harleys stuff is the best around. #harleydavidson #roadglide #footcontrols #promonkeynation #sturgis #daytona #streetglide #roadking #electraglide #biker #motorcycle #touringmotorcycle #chopper #advanblack #oemparts

It starts as an easy job but the adjustment is a pain to get perfect when you’re doing it on your own. But when it’s perfect is a comfort pleasure
Being able to have that range of adjustment is great.. videos like this showing the item used and installed gives people a better view and helps us make an informed decision on our purchase. Thanks for your time and Content .
Best Highway Mount I ever used are Ciro3d frame mount pegs. A little salty in cost but we worth it
I 100% agree on harleys foot peg mount type stuff.
Ciro frame mounts are the way to go...keeps from scuffing the crash bar. I use Harley pegs
I have on ciro 3d highway pegs that mount to the frame under the floorboards love them very comfortable take care enjoy your vids
They definitely look good! Looking forward to your feedback!
Had the pleasure of touring the holokrome facility in CT that manufactures the fasteners for HD. Great folks and they take their job very seriously. Owned by Fastenal
I have the same set up. You will definitely love it I put them on. Yes the adjustment is a crazy thing but once you adjust them and you got them just right the weekend that I put them on the following day Highway 700 miles club trip and thank God for those pegs.
It’s not just good, it’s good enough! Great stuff Monkey!
I have the same mounts and mini-boards on my Road Glide. Love ‘em. It took a few rides and adjustments to dial them in just right for me, but once that was done, they’re golden. 👍🏻
Had those on my 17 Heritage and 22 Road King Classic. Super comfortable, lots of support.
I think they are nice looking travel pads.
It's funny that you posted this video today. I just got home from Destination Daytona and bought the same hwy pegs for my new trike. I didn't want to chance a cheap china one falling off on the Hwy and going thru someone's windshield . Looks good. Jim 😊
Thanks for that information big time. My Harley passenger floorboards fall down drives me nuts. So I think I can mess with them. See this is a great video bud. Stay safe.
That's the exact setup I've been using on my Limited for a long time .
Those boards are way more comfortable than pegs . i won't even
consider another setup . Enjoy the comfort .
My first mini boards on my old Suzuki C50 were Kuryakyn Iso Wings and pullback mounts...you are 100% correct, the Harley mounts I have now are SO much better. I have exactly what you have now, but mine are black, and I picked them up when I picked up the bike because Highway pegs are a MUST! I also prefer the heel shifter and I can pull my boot from the highway peg and drop my heel on the shifter and away we go!
.
Try the longer version of those hi-way pegs, I like them better,
And get a air operated lift table, won’t regret it
Actually this video was great I got to see that bike again beautiful bike thank you.
I agree aftermarket highway pegs are only best from Harley. Speaking from experience!
That's the same setup I run on my Ultra, I love em!
Amazing video 😂. Love the content and looking forward to hearing how they work out. Be safe
I use Harley mounts for better quality but got Amazon special foot pegs to save a little coin. $40 better than $140 by my math. Work the same and no critical bolts stripping. And you’re 1000% correct about those damn D rings. I use an Philips screwdriver shaft to line everything up and then wedge while pulling. Seems to work.
That was some AMAZING content. Thank you so much!
Always install the right side first to ensure the brake pad isn’t in the way. Ask me how I know? 😢
I really like the frame mounted highway pegs from Ciro3D work the best for me. I have had them on two bikes. They adjust easy for rider comfort.
I have also experienced too tight of a fit on a few HD highway pegs... the chrome was excessive and caused problems. Getting a replacement set fixed it. I have found that the black ones fit better.
I did the kuryaken mounts with some Willie G pegs on my road glide just the other day. So far happy with the amount of adjustability. But that plus is also a pain in the ass finding that sweet spot. I know, I know…coulda bought cheaper aftermarket but can’t always guarantee the quality that you’re going to get. With Harley, you know you’re going to have decent quality. Might not be indestructible but I need them to last till I decide that I want to change them again
Just scored a set of these from eBay, the long reach ones but with the old school rubber foot pegs. Unmarked condition, the seller took them off of his brand new bike as he didn't like the look and said he'd never use them. Total cost delivered .... £6.19 here in the UK. About $8.00! I think I got a bargain! lol Love the channel, enjoy Sturgis and stay safe.
Hell of a deal!
I've been shopping for mounts and even for me, I think I can reach those on my 21 Road Glide since they come back. Awesome!
Look great.
Actually a good video I'm shopping for better hwy pegs and now I think I'll try mini boards ty
I finally but the bullet and spent the money for ciro 3d hiway pegs and mounts. Very happy with em.
I have them.. Great product
I have found that HD parts are much better than most aftermarket stuff... I stay away from aluminum mounts. As you mentioned, they don't work well. My only bad experience was the rubber on the HD floorboards for passenger and rider. They cracked after a year of use. Not sure why.
Those bugs were one reason I wore a full face, always. Especially in the orange groves in Polk.
I love my mini boards for highway pegs.
Harley stuff is absolute quality in my opinion. I can’t think of anything I’ve bought from them that wasn’t good.
Been a machinist for 40+ years and can make damn near anything I need. I don’t do it because, I have better things to do, my time is money and I really don’t care for most of the billet parts.
I have the same mini floor boards and short angled pegs on my 16 RGS. Also run mini floor boards on my 05 Dyna.
Thanks for this video! I’ve been debating on putting highway pegs on my softail for a bit, I’m not flexible at all and didn’t think putting pegs higher and further away than my boards mounted off the highway bars would be comfy. I’m definitely going to pick up some of those reach back mounts, I think they’ll be perfect. Keep doing what you’re doing, watching your videos when they come out is one of the highlights of my week. Looking forward to what you do to the ST
@Joshua Solis
I used to watch Blockhead and shadetree surgeon videos when they came out, but now I’m like jonesing for Professional Monkey’s uploads!
I still like Blockhead and Her Two Wheels, but I’m kinda not getting the shadetree surgeon’s vibes anymore!
I used to watch him for the content, then he seems to have gotten all up into hearing his own voice so much that the content has suffered(in my opinion)!
I've got a set of adjustable Kuryaken's to put on the Electra Glide...hoping for nicer weather sunday.
They look great. First long distance ride (3000 mile round trip), I made the most newbie mistake. I had mid-controls and installed forward controls. I removed the mid-control pegs. No floor boards on the bike. After riding for several hours with just one position for my legs, it got old fast. I was young and managed it but what a learning experience.
Good example. You need to be able to dance around.
Nice choice! I have those brackets on my SGS with the stock passenger pegs. Love them.
SGSE Love havin em low to just tip your toe out to the board
@XTTORQ yeah, me too.
My problem was with the bar clamp on the cheap ones I bought could not get it tight enough.
I put on a set of highway pegs and it took me a few tries before I got them where I wanted. Ride Safe!
I've never seen highway pegs that my feet can reach. I can reach the crash bar, but the highway pegs always seem just out of reach
Have the exact same pegs and mounts. I'll never tell how long it took me to get them on. You got a better deal than me too..
Putting the pressure piece in place for the mini floor boards and keeping it there is an easy fix cut 2 pieces of thread then tie each piece across from each other that'll hold it in place during assembly...
good info you get what you pay for some things you just cant go cheap on your bike
thanks for the vid, I just picked up some highway pegs from Amazon. I just hope I don’t regret my purchase
I have the HD mini boards on both my bikes....fwd controls dyna and a softail......had the aftermarket pegs/boards on previous bikes.....HD is stronger(zero flex) and the paint/chrome is better quality.
Tried and tested
You forgot that the bolt in the end of the mini board can be loosened to adjust the pitch of footboard
Love my Ciro 3d frame mounted pegs (well not the pegs they are sold separately. I don’t like higher mounted pegs so the Ciro’s allow for a good stretch just lower.
You aren’t kidding about the shin thing!!!!!
I put my sunglasses on and now ur bike looks much better, lol
I spent 40 bucks on eBay for the same thing without the Harley emblem and they’ve lasted me for 2 years.
You aren’t kidding about those shim things!!
Good-Evening, Monkey, very tastful Advanblack commercial with the Grinch. By the way with your ST Built what kind of suspension well you be going with??????Cin-Cin and Salute. Have a blessed day.
For my experience. Amazon's require threadlock. Mine were s*** and then I put some threadlock on it and I've had no issues with them ever since
I'm so happy you got the fish mouth ends off your bike.
Different subject but what is the portable compressor you carry on the bike
Can't not ... Double negation? 😊
Bugs, West of El Paso on I-10, hit in the head and almost knocked off my bike. Pulled over to look at my helmet. There was this green/yellow goo. Started at the top of the visor and went over and halfway down the back of the helmet. In a fan like a shotgun blast, 6 inches wide at the end. Helmets are good for bug avoidance. The goo was all that was left, never did find out what kind of bug.
Little mexico (el paso) bugs are terrible. Hard exoskeleton...like real hard. And they are NASTY when they splat. I usually went sans-helmet when out riding, and them bugs hurt when they hit you at 85-90....and you damn near have to use degreaser (purple power...ask me how i know) to get them off your 2 day old shaved dome.
Some items you have to buy MoCo. But the MoCo will BRAND Kuryakyn, J.W. Speaker etc.. as their own. Many MoCo products across the line fail. The same applies for aftermarket. Some is good..while others aren't. Yes CAST sucks. I think the only bike I didn't put highway pegs on was my Deuce. But as we all age, it's all about comfort.
I agree Harley mounts are better
I put Harley highway mounts and board on my Road Glide
Wow....look at you becoming quite the wrencher. LOL. Good to see you could handle this project without the dealership.
The only thing the MoCo sucks at is infotainment system upgrades! Everything else is as good or better than the aftermarket. As long as you play by the EPA rules, the warranty is better than aftermarket.
Harley parts are better than Advanblack. The problem is that they can look a little wonky compared to some aftermarket designers like Thrashin Supply, Joker Machine, and a few others. Sometimes though, they get it right.
I have the mustache bars with the built in pegs does that count lol
How do you know if you need the short angled vs the long angled hwy peg?
I don't have a crash bar on mine an really don't want one so I'm running the fat bagger switchblades on my street glide
Not an exciting video but you describing a very large bug on your face on the ride home made it worth watching! 😂
It's a shame that something like this costs over $300.
Not related to your foot rest, was wondering what bars did you put on? I’m only 5’8” need adjustable bars
Hi buddy- you going to Sturgis next year?
How about Laconia?
Just Sturgis.
Top draw fella. You rock at being mediocre! One day I can rise to be mediocre too. Ha ha cheers from a long swim away
You seem smart. I own a 2003 road king police, and dislike the huge floor boards? Any suggestions?
The first thing I did to it was get rid of the floppy cheap ass highway pegs? Bike is 100% stock and just looked lame?
You give me too much credit! There are different shapes of boards out there that are slimmer, also, you can convert it to forward pegs if you want.
I buy whatever I can that’s oem. It’s a shame that a lot of oem products are made overseas. But I do what I can to support the motor company. But that’s just me.
Illegal in Germany, so a Harley actually can not have highway pegs😂
Really? That's wild! I guess the idea is they could catch on something while riding?
@@ProfessionalMonkey No the law is that your foot has to be near the brak pedal at all times. Thats why they just forbid it to have them on your bike.
Germany has some of the strictest laws for motorcycle and car mods, part of the reason is because there is no speed limit on the highway so they want everything that drives in excellent condition.
@@ekimandersom4478 is it not right for a person to have the freedom to decide when they want to take risks with thier own body. I get it. I just don't agree with it
@@whatyoumakeofit6635 All Germans agree with you😂
But many rules do make sense
Strict laws...but also pretty damn safe highways. I miss germany, to be honest. Loved it when i was over there.
Any issues installing them on the chopped engine guard?
Yep those d ring things suck no matter what you do. Comfort over cool in this application.
I see you are putting the position of the peg in the front of the crash bar. Would it not be better to stretch out your legs to put peg on the front side of bar? The close proximity to the floorboards doesn't seem to be much of a difference if you are looking for long range comfort. Just asking because I never use pegs and would like to try them. I just don't feel the same secure seat that I get with my feet on the floorboards.
👍🤘😎👋🍺
Serious question. I'm a Dyna Bro. Vertically challenged, so Dyna's worked. Long miles, Dynas suck; Interstate Dynas suck. I'm in the market. Hate Shark nose. Hate Batwing. Here comes the question. Should I go to the Lowrider ST or the Road King (and put an FXRT Fairing on the RK)?
Road king if you do distance
It doesn’t get in the way when you’re moving your foot from the board to the gearshift?
Nope.
Stop putting out good shit. I've been looking for these for my 21 CVO Ultra Limited. Gott'em now. $302.70 - Your right about their quality though, somethings are worth stealership stuff.
There’s a lot of factory accessory Harley parts made in China, I always buy aftermarket made in the USA, I got to swap out the Engine guard so I can put on my Dirty Bird lowers👎
what's your take on the ciro3d highway pegs mounted to the footboard frame? my thinking with these is it would cause more damage if the bike lays down then engine guard mounts?
I run these. I think they are a great option, especially if you don’t have the longest legs…..
Ciro3d highway pegs are the best looking for sure. I've been running them for about 30,000 miles and would not use any other. The pegs that mount to the crash bar look like shit!
Ta hell with whoever came up with the idea for that stupid lid’l tension spring thingymabopper..
I simply hate adjusting highway pegs, swear I would pay somebody 50 bucks just to do them for me
@professional monkey, The week after update?
08:47 😮 😈😅
you have amazing videos?
The Aftermarket community can build a significantly better Harley than HD can, only because they’re greedy and unwilling to.
Any double negative complaints yet?
A few..
Wish you were joking about the bugs.
I can’t do that to my Electra Glide Classic, first thing I took off after getting it home. Don’t care how comfy, every …Glide looks like a gynecologist chair going down the Highway with them. Last ride last year 3465 miles round trip just fine, First ride this year just shy 600 miles. Sorry man, gotta agree to disagree.
harley set screw on their pegs always dig into peg and make it lose adjustment until its unadjustable. Total garbage.
Harley chrome sucks.
Those spring washers suck
