Foot Peg lean

[Reichpapers]

Before I ask...nothing was bent. Now let me begin. My right foot peg goes down past the straight position and slightly angles down. My Sportster did this too. Anyone else have this issue (not a big issue but annoying to loo at).

Maby need to check the bolt mounting holes and see if they be egged out a bit.

You asked now I'll ask Is anything bent?

Give the left one a few shots and it will lean like the right one!!! Just saying.....................

seems to me if the holes are not ovaled then they have to be bent..my buddies sporty has a left foot peg lean..remove right side peg install on left if its the same something is bent period

BUT<wouldnt that make it try N lean the wrong ways in a curve/corner????:laughout:laughout:laughout

Do you get on from the right (high) side? Do you step on the peg then swing your leg over?? If you are putting all your body weight on 1 peg, you may have bent it. Guess it would depend on how heavy you are. I do that on my foot board, I'm 246# and haven't bent mine......yet.

Good Luck!

Screwball, are you saying that you step on the foot board to mount the bike? Which side you mount from?

I'm 226 and growing. I have forward controls so I don't put my weight on them while mounting.

I took the peg off and the hole was ovaled a bit. So I traded it with my rear peg that was npt ovaled. It's still leaning. I guess the problem isn't as bad as paying $50 for a new taillight after backing into a fence.

Get a big asz pipe wrench ,,cushion the teeth and bend the mount up a little
