Being a tall person, at times
after hours in the saddle, I have to straighten out my legs in order to avoid a
rest stop and lose road time. So After looking around and figuring out that no
one makes a set of Highway Peg Mounts that will even come close to the Highway
Pegs on my big Kawasaki Nomad, I decided to think a little differently on the
subject. Instead of resting my heels on a nonexistent pair of pegs which attach
to big chrome engine guards, which aren't there either, I figured the next best
thing would be if I could rest my leg on something similar to the plastic
tip-over guards. I currently stretch one leg at a time over them but I still
have to hold my leg out there. No relaxing there to be sure. So, I needed
something that would be out of the way but still available and capable of
resting both legs, straightened out, at the same time. This works.

These billet machined touring peg brackets, and pegs, provide you
with a solid, alternate foot location for increased comfort on longer
rides. Touring pegs will also get your legs out in the air stream
allowing cooler air to flow up your pant legs. Users have confirmed that
inseam lengths up to 34" are comfortable with the BST peg position.
The peg is angled to the rear, to better align with the rider's leg
angle and prevent your foot from slipping off the peg. BST Touring Pegs
have been designed to provide you with the most ground clearance, and
safety. By locating the pegs above the tip-over wings, the pegs
will not contact the ground before the standard footpegs.
The design allows the peg to fold, in the event of ground contact. The
round shape of the peg will give your feet & legs comfort, with no
pressure points. The peg's position is also very comfortable if the
rider's ankle is placed over it. The small opening for the black, powder
coated riser retains the integrity of the plastic cover, keeping engine
heat away from your feet and legs.
The CNC machined brackets & risers can be ordered separately. The
brackets could also be used for fog lights or daytime running lights in
lieu of fork mounted lights. The mounting hole diameter is 1/2".

these without removing the middle and lower fairings.
I went slow and it
took around an hour. A dremel kit is preferred but a steady hand and a sharp
knife can be used to cut the small rectangles out of the tip over wing
covers.
This is the template
sheet. Cut them out and slip them on over the plastic cover and mark the
area to be removed.
