Hello,
I have a 2006 Heritage and have what is probably a simple question but I have had the bike only 5 weeks. I still tuck it in at night before I go to bed.
The passenger foot pegs are mounted on a stud that is retained by what appears to be a snap ring . The stud goes thru a hole at a junction of the bag bars/mount/frame etc. I am told there is a "D" washer inside that retains tension and keeps the footpeg from rotating. One of mine has obviously lost it's tension and I can twist it easily.
I do not intend to ever carry a passenger. Is it acceptable to replace the footpeg and it's mounting shaft with a bolt and acorn nut or something similar? I would probably keep the footpeg but I really don't care for the way HD mounts it. It doesn't seem to be a sound way to do it and will need replacing down the road again in the future.
I am going to find a replacement for the buddy seat and bar with a larger/longer rack if and when I can find one.
Thanks for any help you can give me. Everyone please ride safe.........
