Highway Pegs on Engine Bars?
• Arkansas Highway Pegs, by Flash #412. Sir, I will have you know that is no broomstick handle. It is, in fact, a piece of a genuine Arkansas oak tree, hand carved by a Boy Scout of America and left to be found by a biker in need at the campground in Mena, Arkansas at the Jailbreak in 2001. The photo shows version 1(a) attachment. Version 1 was simply tiewraps. The hose clamp was added at a truck stop in Oklahoma somewhere. Version 2 has only hose clamps, no tiewraps. OEM BMW engine protection bars are CRITICAL for the mounting of this piece of folk art. • A friend welded a small plate into each side of the engine protection bars and fitted the cheapest set of generic aftermarket footpegs he could find. Cheap and effective he says. Doesn’t suit my riding style though. Tink, F650GS Dakar, Brisbane, Australia. • I’ve fitted the BMW option engine protection bars, and I think I’ll look for a set of generic fold-back pegs that can be adapted to fit the narrow diameter of the tubes.
