Title: Highway Pegs Post by wicks on 08/11/08 at 19:36:48 Anyone have them? Is the Savage big enough to install them? Anyone have a picture of their bike with the pegs installed? Just did a 2K trip to South Dakota and highway pegs would have helped immensley, that is the only mod I;d like to do before my next trip. Seat wasn't to bad, I was able to recline a bit and rest on my duffle bag behind me. |

Title: Re: Highway Pegs Post by Jay on 08/11/08 at 19:45:34 Try Bikepics for the Suzuki Savage. There are hundreds of pics of the different things people have put on their bikes, including highway pegs. The Wingerline highway bar seems to be preferred over the OEM, but last I heard everyone was out of them. |

Title: Re: Highway Pegs Post by ALfromN.H. on 08/12/08 at 04:34:42 I have the oem engine guard and it works great for mounting highway pegs. it won"t protect your bike if you should happen to drop it but thats not why I got it. I got it specifically for a mounting point for highway pegs. Makes a big difference on the longer rides. There are alot of pegs you can get. I went with some kuryakyn offset dually pegs. They were kind of expensive but they look good and are very comfortable. Here's a pic. http://w3.bikepics.com/pics/2008/07/20/bikepics-1359191-800.jpg http://w3.bikepics.com/pics/2008/07/20/bikepics-1359189-800.jpg |

Title: Re: Highway Pegs Post by sockmonkeygirl on 08/12/08 at 06:01:35 Here is mine with highway bar/pegs. If you like the way it looks, I can crawl under and see if there's a manufacture name/number on the bar. I bought mine used, and it came like this. I do use the pegs, and they are quite comfy. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/skinandink/DSC01002.jpg |

Title: Re: Highway Pegs Post by Jay on 08/13/08 at 00:53:38 sockmonkeygirl, I like that setup. Wish you knew where the PO got that. I read once of a guy who just mounted a set of handlebars to the frame downtube. Covered the barends with thick rubber handgrips, and road on. No pics, but it sounded similar to what your setup looks like. I always wondered what that fellow's rig would look like, and now I know. Thanks sockmonkeygirl. |

Title: Re: Highway Pegs Post by skrapiron on 08/13/08 at 05:12:51 I had my bike set up the same as ALfromN.H. Same pegs too. Really helped with the long distance comfort of the bike. I just got tired of running my shins into the pegs every time I tried to get around the bike in the garage... Fortunately, they do fold up into a fairly compact storage position. |

That's OK. After seeing what can be done, I may just head to the local Goodwill, and pick me out a set of handlebars or a cheap bicycle and go for it. ;) |

Title: Re: Highway Pegs Post by sockmonkeygirl on 08/14/08 at 04:51:07 LOL, ok Jay, as long as you show us pics! I can take a pic of the bracket that holds the bar onto the frame too if you want. |
