Dare I ask? Highway pegs?

[zixxerboy]

I know it sounds geeky but on longer rides (maybe 300km +) my knees get a bit sore from being bent all the time and I keep thinking a set of pegs up front to periodically give them a stretch would help.

But theres not many places up front to bolt to. Anybody have suggestions?

sounds like a bad idea!

EDIT:If I get sore legs I just stop and have a breather .

I rest my legs on my frame sliders

+1 - the motovation ones are long enough to be able to do that!

Hmmm hadn't thought of the frame slider angle. I was thinking about getting some any. Can some post a pic?

If i have been riding for 5 hours or more i will put my pillion pegs down and rest the front of my ankles on them. After about 15 mins of that my legs are good again.

If you have to ride 100 miles one way to get to the fun stuff highway pegs are nice. I have been thinking about fabing up something to clamp onto my frame sliders for when I do the SS1000.

pegs can be a nice addition if you do a lot of distance, esp so if you are tall like me, having you legs folded up that far can be a pain. (pun intended)

This is exactly the deal for me. After a tankful or two of gas my legs need to straighten out. I've been riding for about three decades so my knees are no longer as forgiving as they used to be.

I've posted a bunch of pics of mine a few times (a quick search should locate them). I mounted them on crashbars. Twisted Throttle sells everything you'd need.

I love them on long rides and they fold out of the way when not in use.

Thanks D-Mac. Your set up for pegs will be quite similar to how I was going to attach pegs to my old KZ650 that case guards. I was looking for pics of the bikes with frame sliders. I think they would be too high and too far back. Like maybe you would hook yuor knees over them.

I guess I can find FS pics easy enough.
