Tucson, AZ | Well i dont have them on my bike, but...i have sat on a bike with them at Az Victory. They are adjustable, dont know how much, the guy that had them on his bike is a tall SOB. Great shop, great service....kinda like the old motorcycle shops, they know you by name, your able to talk with the owner, mechanics and such. If you need info let me know and i will go down and ask. Matter of fact i will be there Thursday the 9th, then Friday the 10th.

Lindale, TX | I'm 6'8" with 38" inseam. I need my pegs by the front tip over bar. Ask them what set up I need from Kuryakyn I need to complete this setup.
Thank you |

Tucson, AZ | Actually these mount on the front tip overs. I am not sure what you are asking? What kind of pegs or... I think they take any peg style made but i will ask.

Denver | Just a question if anyone knows.... If they mount to the tip overs, what happens to them if the bike tips over since the tip overs take the brunt of the impact? I am just curious as I would like this as well...

Thanks Mike. I guess I'm looking at the product and assuming I also need to purchase a peg arm and peg. My question is are the bracket fittings universal to Victory pegs as well as other brands?
Thanks
Jon

Houston, TX | I'm trying to imagine how these would bolt up. The angle doesn't seem right with those offset arms in the pic. Maybe it's just me... |

TUCSON, AZ | I make the road peg mounts you are asking about. I'm 6'5". They definately help with leg room. They mount with one bolt, supplied. The offset mount and peg shown at AZ Vic is a Victory peg set.
Kyuriaken has the same or something similar. The peg set has it's own mounting bolt, but I recommend 1/2-13 stainless socket head cap screw just for clearance.
As far as tip over protection they don't seem to cause any difficulty. Experience ya know.

Houston, TX | $119.99 seems a little pricey for a couple of small brackets. Especially when the Victory Highway peg mounts for the floor boards are $199.00.
With AZ's brackets you still have to buy the highway pegs and extensions which can cost 139.99 to 159.99.
Looks like a nice setup for taller riders though. |

Okeefenokee Swamp | Merry Christmas everyone. My wife got the brackets for mounting the highway pegs to the front tip overs.My problem is that the highway pegs she bought me say that they are for highway bars. After looking and looking I cannot for the life of me see how the pegs will attatch to the brackets.The pegs that were sent were recommended by the Arizona Victory site as the ones needed for the tall rider brackets.
If anyone has any insight or can tell me the part number for the correct pegs and peg arms I would appreciate it greatly. |

Southeast Iowa | Easttexasrider - Do not buy the Victory Highway peg set-up as you will hate it. I'm 6'8" with a 36" inseam and tried them on my bike. It took me all of 5 minutes to decide they would not work for me. I made my own offset brackets to bolt to the shipping point on the front tip overs. I used a 1" wide by 1/4" thick piece of aluminum with 2 holes drilled in them. The toughest part was bending them to get the correct angle. (bolt flat bar to tip over and rotate/bend with large adjustable wrench) With this set-up you can bolt any standard Kuryakyn peg to it. |

Okeefenokee Swamp | Big Vic, thanks for the input. I was having an Ah Duh moment this morning from lack of sleep. If the set up does not work I will try your advice. |

I'm 6'3" and "all legs". Have a 34" inseam. Bought the brackets from AZ Victory and mounted Kura...sp? pegs on them. YES, they will contact the pavement BEFORE the tip-overs but the comfort they afford overshadows the price of replacing them (when necessary - notice I said WHEN not IF). |

| I have the Tri-City Polaris pair. They work perfect for my 28" legs. Contact them and maybe they can redesign them or they have already? These mount to the floorboards under the floor mats and do not effect the tipovers at all. |

Southeast Iowa | Here are pictures of my pegs and the brackets that I made. The brackets are aluminum and measure 1"w X 3"L X 1/4" thick. They are a bitch to bend by hand so you may want to try 3/16" which should be strong enough. 1/4" is what I had so that's what I used. No real science here, I drilled the mounting hole so the bracket would be flush with the underside of the tipover to prevent it from rotating downward. The center of the hole is roughly 5/8" down from the top and about 1/2" from the edge. The peg hole is centered and about 3/4" from the edge. After you drill your holes bolt the bracket to the tip over. (I don't remember what size bolt it is) Once it is bolted you will realize that it is at an angle. Place a LARGE adjustable wrench over the peg hole and rotate downward until it is vertical. You will need to stand your bike up to check this. When you are satisfied bolt your peg to the bracket and adjust the angle for your foot. Once you are done you can remove the brackets and polish them up. I rounded the corners by the peg and sanded an angle under the tip over to flush it up. Hope this helps.

Southeast Iowa | Glad it worked for you. Another great thing about this mod is you can use any peg you want. I also find I can fully stretch out my legs and lay the back of my heel between the peg and tip over. |

San Antonio, TX | I am happy that this mod is working out for you guys.
You are taller then me.....I can barely touch the tipovers with my toes.
I have the stock highway pegs and they work fine for me.
Ride safe and comfy |

| I have installed my heel blades and am very happy with them. I great alternative position, they hide away where people don't even see them unless I want them too. They are comfortable and since there is nothing touching the bottom of your foot I think it will help on long trips. But I'm over 6'3 and they fit me about perfect, so any shorter than that and I don't think they would work. |

| Thanks for your review on the "Heel Blades" Prime Power. I agree, they are made for the taller rider. And yes....most people don't even know you have them unless you point it out to them. Does not take away from the already nice looks of the Vision or the X-Series Bikes. |

Danville, CA | DONT BUY THE VICTORY PEGS BRACKETS!!!! THEY ARE DANGEROUS AND RESTRICT YOUR FEET OFF THE FLOORBOARD. AZ BRACKETS WORK BEST WITH KURYAKN 2 INCH EXTENDERS AND ANY PEG.. |
