Driver foot pegs

[White Dog_imp]

I came up with an idea today to make riding the CB1100 more comfortable by using the wider foot pegs from a Goldwing instead of the tiny foot pegs which are stock on the CB1100. I guess I have a phobia about "riding the rear brake pedal" even though I had my brake lever bent. I still find myself pointing my right toe down as I ride and my fear is I"ll ride that darn brake pedal again. The Goldwing peg is about 3 times as wide which will give my foot a larger platform. It is a simple replacement. The most difficult part was getting the cotter pin out of the shaft to remove the pegs. Oh, I only spent about $53 to buy the rubber covers, mounting bars, the pegs themselves and the smaller mounting bolts. I bought the longer bolts and some brass sleeves for $7 at Lowes so as soon as my Honda parts come in, I'll install and maybe post a pic. If someone wants to get a headstart on this mod, look up GL1800 and locate the "Step" diagram on any site which sells OEM Honda parts. Or, perhaps someone who has installed after market platforms on their wing might still have their original pegs available. Since my CB1100 is new, I decided to spend a few dollars for new parts but that's just me.

Interesting idea, looking forward to the pics. Need to come up with more comfortable replacement for the passenger pegs.

That's a good upgrade.
But FYI...., Depends on how big your shoe size is....
your left boot might have some problems locating the shift lever to shift up.
The wider footpeg will effectively shorten the opening between the shifter and the front edge of the footpeg.

the braking pedal isn't as restricted by this as much as it is for the shifter.
