Best Highway Pegs for Super Tenere?

[Too Tall]

Have a '14 Tenere and am looking to add forward mounted highway pegs for those longer rides. What options, hopefully with pictures, have you done to get more legroom and comfort?

Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

you will need crash bars of some type to mount to in most cases I think.... altrider for me and some harley type forward foot things from kurye akyn , something like that... butt ugly but works..

Best Highway Pegs for Super Tenere?

Hyway pegs mounted on Yamaha's crash bars with the top mount bracket removed. Pegs are FJR's using Garauld's swivel mount adapters.

I'd show mine but most people just want to buy something and bolt it on.

I suppose that's one of the results of a throw way society.
People forgot how to repair/fix/make things,
even though there is better access to tools and materials (cheaply) and information (internet) than when I grew up.

I remember seeing custom cars (hand made) all over the place growing up. Custom now means, what can I buy and bolt on.......

I suppose the 'instant gratification' idea comes into play here too. Can't wait for it if I want it now!

Man, I think I'm gitin old................................................................and stay off my grass! ::009::

I have a pair of what are essentially fold down mini floorboards. I bought them, several years ago from Wunderlich, for way too much money. They bolt to crash bars like most others. I replaced every bolt with stainless and never used them. Welcome to them for $150. When I clear out some of my accumulated parts they'll be on the list. I just looked at their site and didn't see them. Didn't spent too much time though.

I was exposed to that quite a bit during my childhood. My dad and uncles never bought parts, they just fabricated them from old rusty scrap from a prior project. By the time they were done it was better than anything you could have bought. The problem is all of them had huge shops, tools, endless supply of parts/scraps. I find for me to do a project I have to buy 15 tools just to do the work and afterwards I don't have any space to store them...... Thus, Revzilla (and others) gets more of my money than they should. Hopefully one day I will have my own pole barn filled with all of the goodies needed to make your own stuff.

.............and slow down you darn whipper snappers!!!!!!!

I personally don't have a very big shop, just a small room in my basement, and not a big selection of tools at that. Heck mostly Harbor Freight stuff cause it's cheap (never had one fail yet) and I don't use them all that much to justify buying higher priced stuff. One here, one there and you can get going.
Buy ready made stuff and there is where your money goes. Short term thinking.
I can usually I can buy a tool just for one project and save money on that project vs buying something.
Now I have that tool for the next project plus all the others, vs just out of money.

I suppose I should just keep my mouth shut......

No worries at all. I definitely agree with you. I think the biggest concern for doing a lot of these things myself is not really the tools, it is the time and space needed. Time is really the critical thing. I barely have time from my work schedule to be able to ride, so the quicker i can get projects done the better. Doing things yourself is great, but it definitely takes more time than buying the expensive prefabbed stuff.

See, and all Too Tall wanted to know was some peg options and I opened my big mouth with useless info......

These mounts work great for me mounted to OEM Yamaha bars. https://motowerk.com/products/highwaypegmounts1inchdia

Hope that helps.

I had looked at these pegs online in the past. I was wondering how you mounted them to the OEM bars? Do you happen to have a picture of them on? Just curious on the mount point. Looking at my OEM bars, I couldn't see an obvious mounting position and angle due to how they flare out closest to the rider.

I have the same highway pegs on my bike. I'm going to borrow that good idea of the reflective decals!!

I at first used the bar mounts that came with the pegs, but they gave out (bended) So I just used clamps.
