Lower Footpegs

[CB4ME_imp]

Here’s a short report on Buell footpegs which cost a staggering $38.95 + shipping at http://www.grharley.com/Rider_Footpeg_Ki...6.1ad.htm. I believe Fuzzy was first to install them.

The pegs are aluminum. They are nearly 0.10” too thick to fit inside the CB’s footpeg mounting brackets. Using a flat file with fairly aggressive tooth pattern, it took me about 15 minutes to resize each one. The back of the Buell pegs also need some fitting so the pegs stop at the right angle to the frame. All in all about it took me about 45 minutes per side to remove the stock pegs, file the Buells and install them.

Since they are about an inch lower than stock, both the brake pedal and shift pedal need to be adjusted. I did the brake pedal as low as Honda says to go, and I’m still tweaking the shift pedal.





Combined with a taller seat, these footpegs are an inexpensive way to give taller riders more leg room.

Compared to the rest of the bike, the Buell footpegs look a little cheap. At some point I’m going to bite the bullet and invest in a pair of these GSG footpeg kits.
