C5 "vibration isolating" footpegs
« on: January 20, 2013, 06:40:46 PM »
I had been looking at these at Nfieldgear.com and bought a set to try on the C5. Fit and finish was basically outstanding. Went on easy and look great.

First photo shows the parts. Only parts not included in the package were pins for the hinge point.  I bought a couple of 5/8" clevis pins for a dollar at a local hardware store and was all set.  Photos 2 and 3 show it open and folded in.

Nice job, good to know they fit the C5.  BTW, if the rubber bits wear out or you just want to change things up check out Kuryakyn.  They make the footpegs and replacement parts.  Andy any of these pegs can also be mounted up without much trouble.  Lots of Harley shops carry these if you want a look.

Very cool, i have them on my 07 iron lung. I had them as takeoffs from an old cruiser i used to have. I also had the mounts from the old bike too. I modified the mounts a bit with some grinding so they would allow the mount to line up with the bolt hole in the bracket from the bike. Mounted them up and they look and work great. They dont pivot but its ok.

Thanks.  I did look at HD stores and Kuryakyn catalogs but the missing piece was always the RE specific mount.  The CMW kit came with a mount that is basically a shortened stock RE mount with a nicely engineered "U" into which the Kuryakyn peg fits perfectly.

I had also picked up a 1.5" peg extension kit not knowing how much tinkering this would require, but there was no need for that......I am sure I will find some other project for the extension tubes!

I'd love a set of these. The rigid mounted foot pegs are not the Enfields finest feature. Do you know if they fit a B5?

B5, like a Model T, comes in any color, as long as it's black.

They probably do. Most parts like these are pretty much the same across all RE models.
