[FONT=&quot]I recently installed a set of ORING Peg covers from Lazy Dawg Customs. The first picture shows the amount of spacing between my foot and the factory peg’s.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Use needle nose pliers to carefully remove the factory rubber boot. These can be re-used at a later time if the need occurs.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]This is what it will look like.[/FONT]

The package come with two peg covers and 5/64 Hex Wrench (Allen Wrench), Filler Piece (2), Stainless 8-32X3/8 mounting screws (4)

Place filler on top of shifter peg.

Use Loctite ® or similar product on screws.

Start both coated screws into cover.

Mount cover onto peg and tighten.

I was concerned about how much room I would lose by installing the peg covers, so I took before and after pictures. Here is the after.

I have ridden several hundred miles since I installed these. I have not noticed losing any space. Actually, I have some extremely positive feedback on the peg covers. Before, I felt like I had to stomp sometimes to get my X into gear. With the extra added height the covers provide, the X easily goes into gear. I have shown these covers to several other riders and the feedback is all positive on their looks as well as function.
These peg covers can be pre-ordered at:

The first bunch will be available soon, but only in a limited amount of numbers. I hope you all will like them as much as I do. I like to say I have a “Go bike, not a show bike”. If I keep adding parts like this, that may change soon, but it will always be a “go bike” too.
Thanks to Jeff at Lazy Dawg Customs.

Since you went there...I was noticing his little feet myself. My size 13 steel toes don't fit nearly as nicely on the boards. I'm thankful for the highway bar pegs!

Those are really nice.

Glad your digging the new pegs Gunner

I know several of you R/S/T owners have been asking us to come out with something for your rides since we started last year. We were finally able to come out with a design that will fit the unique sized Heel-Toe found on the 1300 R/S/T models. We chose to go with the Oring Version since it seems to be the most popular at this time.

Like Gunner said I only made a few sets of these to begin with (around 20 sets), I will start these like my original Taper Spike pegs and open them up to Pre-Orders. Send me an email with your name and Cafe handle to [email protected] and I will put you on the list (First Come First Served). Once I get them back from Chrome and do the final quality inspection I will send out emails to those on the list to go ahead and order the Peg set. No money to hold your place on the list, I am only offering the pre-order list to my Cafe family:cheers:. I am hopeing to be able to start shipping these new Peg Covers in the next couple of weeks.

These will be selling for $123/set for the all years VTX1300 R/S/T and the new 2010 Honda Interstate.

Same quality and construction, made from solid Billet T6 Aluminum then Triple Chromed Stainless Steel setscrews to secure to your OEM shifter.

Size 12 there buddy-lol.

TMichael- they had them at Sportsmanguide for $49 a few weeks ago. I think I paid $59 for them. I think they are $79 now.

Thanks again Jeff, n0body and Sepiroth.

Looks great, I just bought similar boots to yours and my immediate reaction was that they closed the gap (maybe a bit too far) between my boot and the gear peg on the C.

With your anti-slip boot sole and the same on the board plus on the new peg and very little room, it looks like it may be difficult to slide the boot in there if you need to downshift fast for instance.

Function over form - Ride safe. Still looks great

When downshifting fast, he wouldn't be sliding his boot under the shifter...

Either way, the shifter can easily be adjusted in about 5 minutes for more clearance. :choppersm

Obviously I was thinking of the C setup. I need to look, do you know if it's adjustable on the C as well?

Yea, it's the same on all models. Search for "adjust shifter". :cheers:

Honestly, I never realized it until I seen it in the pic. I used to wear western boots that had a hard rubber sole.....they slip in loose gravel. These boots don't slip near as much, so function is a whole lot better. In emergency, I react so fast that none of that comes into play....as in I never notice there is not much room there. (Please always be that way) The pegs, boots and boards of the R are so comfortable the way I have them set up for me, I don't think I could be much more comfortable.

I never even thought about trying to adjust anything. I really think they made an R for a guy about my size- 6 ft. Thanks Beefy, I didn't know that it is all adjustable....never thought I had a reason to even look at it.

Hi wngd,

Although the pegs Gunner is showing off are specific for the 1300 R/S/T bikes, all of our pegs are approximately the same Outside Diameter. Some of our Customers have had to adjust their shifter position many have not.

As Beefy stated above it is very easy adjustment to make. For that matter many VTX owners have adjusted the position with just the stock peg. Before we started making our Peg Covers I had the cheap Kury Plasti-Chrome peg cover, which is actually larger in diameter than my pegs, that is when I discovered how to adjust the shifter position

I am a firm believer in Function and Comfort over Form, but Jeanette and I like to believe that our Peg Covers offer both:mosh:

These are the ones I have and they look great ahter almost a year now.

 

[Gunner71]

OK, figured it out when I was riding to day. I have my heel pointed in and my toe pointed out, so my toe is not under the peg anyway. That is why I never notice the pegs or ever have problems getting my toe out or foot out to shift.

 

[Gunner71]

I got distracted when taking these pics.....the USAF Thunderbirds were doing an air show.....over my house. I have worked with and watched them for over 20 years.

By the way, after seeing these pics, I went and waxed the bike,
