Pegs

Is there some way on god's green earth of making these tighten without running a self tapper through, tried some rubber pieces. Weld it I guess

A friend of mine had an older 1800 with the Wingleader foot pegs and had the same issue. He took a quality stainless hose clamp, cut the adjustment screw off the clamp, and added it under the foot peg clamp to take up the slop that caused it to drop whenever he put his feet on them. Worked for him and he was 6'2". He was originally going to use a piece of soft copper, but was unsure if he would run into a dissimilar metal corrosion issue.

ok, thanks, might try something like that

I get thin sheets of neoprene rubber at my hardware store. Cut to size I wrap it around the frame to cushion and take up space. Compressing the clamp should make it immobile

I'll give it another try, I have some rubber roofing material. Neoprene may be better

I used a split piece of garden hose for my highway pegs (which I almost never use), but that may be too thick for your application. Good luck, Dave

I've seen aluminum cut to fit as shims. Just be quite careful that you do not dent in the case guard, which would weaken it.

Would tapping in a set screw or 2 work?
Looks like the peg is thick enough to hold threads.
