Hwy Pegs on the FJ?

Has anyone installed highway pegs on the FJ?.... Yes I know it may seem strange but it would be nice to have a place to put my feet on for a quick rest on the longer runs.  Pictures and details would be great from anyone that has installed this mod.

This is a fine idea and I would love to see some pics too.

Herny has them.

And he can set you up with his regular replacement program.

I tried a set mounted to the (unused on 91) engine mounts just behind the headers.
It was terribly uncomfortable since you're already leaning forward to the bars, so you end up doubled up.
I find that the pillon pegs give me an alternate place to put my feet, unless the pillon already has their feet there. :-)

Sorry, no pics

Cheers,

Henry has his pegs mounted onto this engine bars.......

very easy to do and some simple and readily available clamp on pegs are all thats needed after you get the engine bars

What angle would you like?  I have a ton of pictures of the FJ and most show the rentec bars w/ pegs.  Stand by and I'll try to shrink some down to put here.  I'm pretty sure Henry's are the same thing.  Though I don't know if there is a difference between the earlier models and the later models...

On second thought, it looks like I can't attach pictures here regardless of size.  Marsh?  ???

OK.  I created a gallery.  I put 4 or 5 pics in but the gallery only showed a count of 2 but all the pics showed up in the recent view.  ??

edit cuz I'm a dummy.  Moved all pictures to the Vulcanbill gallery.  They're hi res so if you click on them once, they'll zoom a little.  Then look down in the corner for the "make it full size" option and you can blow them way up.  I have many more if needed.

That worked out OK Bill...

Thanks for all the feedback.  The engine bars gives me the solution I was looking for.  Perfect location for a set of highway pegs!  I have a set of GenMar handlebar risers installed so the angle to the pegs would be more confortable than the stock setup.

Thanks for the pictures Bill.  It was exactly what I was looking for.

Kim's bike has Heli Bars as well.  Between them, the corbin and the highway pegs, hers is the bike we all long for after things start hurting.  She can generally shame the rest of us when it comes to long periods of time in the saddle.

I remember seeing these bars on circus bikes, you know the bikes that clowns ride around the ring...
