Goldwing Rider Pegs (wider than stock ones)

[Huladog_imp]

Ride Report: Went well, didn't need to make any adjustments to how I use the rear brake or the shifter (which I had previously raised so I had more room for my boot toe to fit under).

Feels good like I expected where your foot has a larger surface to rest on so your lower leg isn't tensing up to hold your foot in position. I noticed this when I was riding my CTX1300 which has a slightly forward peg position but I could feel my lower leg getting tense holding my foot in position.

On that bike I had installed some mini-floorboards which worked well and the ride got even more relaxing without any of the fiddling I had to do to get the Goldwing pegs to fit the CB11.

HOWEVER I discovered something that you should be aware of. Before I rode off on my test ride I folded the side stand up like usual, no problems there, but when I stopped and reached for that extension on the side stand that you usually push on with your boot heel? Nowhere to be found!

It's there but the wider peg hides it so you have to look for the actual side stand "foot" and push that to extend the side stand. That threw me off as I rode off and I wondered if the side stand was retracted against the bottom of the foot peg (it's not, it retracts to hit the side stand stop).

Also checked the blue Sharpie ink on the shift and peg, no interference, no scraped off ink so good to go on that issue.

One more thing to keep in mind. The feelers from the stock pegs didn't fit the Goldwing pegs since the bolt hole was much smaller on the replacement pegs, there is a threaded hole but it seems to be some oddball thread size as I haven't found any of my leftover bolts that will fit.

Here's a couple photos so you can see how the side stand retracts and hides under the foot peg.
