Author Message   Chinook Posted on Tuesday, August 15, 2006 - 03:15 pm:        Hi guys. New here, loving my Uly at 1000k. What's the collective wisdom on the rear footpegs rubbing against the luggage -- they are grinding a groove in my luggage when the pegs are folded against the frame. All i can think of at the moment is to loosen/readjust luggage brackets or bust out the grinding wheel on the pegs? Seems stoopid to have to leave the rear pegs out all the time. Design issue?   Jprovo Posted on Tuesday, August 15, 2006 - 05:00 pm:        If it bugged me, I'd take a file to the pegs and make sure that they have 1/8"-1/4" clearance, but I just leave the pegs down. Then again, I usually have a passenger on the back.

I'd loosen the mounting brackets for the luggage and then tighten 'em again. If that still doesn't help, I'd go back to a dealership and see about new brackets/luggage. Apparently, not all luggage brackets was created equal. I'd not gap the pegs/brackets then cinch them down. I'd think this'd be stressing something.

My left side bracket is a perfect fit. The right side isn't (read as wasn't) even close to a fit. The bottom attachment point was at least 3/4 of an inch off. Dremel adjustment 'made' it fit. Right side peg does brush the bag. G2   Aeholton Posted on Tuesday, August 15, 2006 - 07:50 pm:        Mine have plenty of clearance also. They should not rub in the up position. Get the brackets replaced.   Paochow Posted on Tuesday, August 15, 2006 - 10:01 pm:        Same issue with the right side bag on mine as well. Must have a problem with the jig for the right side bracket. Little bit of filing gave me the necessary clearance.   Brat Posted on Tuesday, August 15, 2006 - 10:13 pm:        The only issue i have is my girlfriend's comments that she can't get her feet in a comfortable position when the bags are on, anyone else got that problem, Natalie seems to have small feet?   Michael1 Posted on Tuesday, August 15, 2006 - 10:34 pm:        Yeah, my right side bag mount met the grinded and drill press. It fits now. I guess I will have to check the clearance of my pegs. I haven't noticed anything, as I usually have a passenger on there all the time.   Bigdaddy Posted on Wednesday, August 16, 2006 - 07:58 am:        Right side bracket production obviously had some QC issues. If you didn't put your own on I guess you wouldn't be aware though. G2   Crusty Posted on Wednesday, August 16, 2006 - 08:35 pm:        I had no trouble putting the right side bracket on mine. It was the left side that gave me trouble. Some of the powdercoating fouled the threads on the footpeg bracket, and I had to run a tap in the hole to clean it out. Otherwise, it was a piece of cake. My footpegs don't hit the bags, either. Guess I got good brackets.   Roadrailer Posted on Wednesday, August 16, 2006 - 09:52 pm:        The only issue i have is my girlfriend's comments that she can't get her feet in a comfortable position when the bags are on, anyone else got that problem, Natalie seems to have small feet? My wife has no issues, but she does have very, very small feet.
