This is a 10 inch piece of bike tube, you can use more or less and you can get different sizes for different size pegs but this is what works best for me and solved the problem on my feet slipping off the peg and killed a large part of the vibration on my feet not to mention they slip on and off in seconds.
The vibration I dont mind its just keeping my feet on the pegs that I mind.

I tried everything I could think of but this was the easiest and worked the best, I even put them on my passanger pegs and bend my knees to lay my shins on them just to change it up a bit while riding down the highway, one advantage of being a short bastard. Ok it's probably the only advantage but it's pretty dam comfy.

I can't help but ask why a Big Dog has to vibrate so bad. I understand Dogs shake. But, I have to tell you my 1968 BSA Chopper vibration is equivalent to new Dog vibration. There is no reason to vibrate this bad after 40 years of progress. QUOTE]
There's your problem. You believe that the air-cooled V-twin has made any progress in the last 40 years.

Big Dog vibrations are not for everyone, perhaps you should spend the weekend test riding bikes that will be acceptable to you.
The alure of these bikes is the mix of old school and modern.
A victory or a honda fury may be more acceptable to your thougts on what you percieve a motorcycle should be after 40 years of progress.
I, for one, love the feel of my Big Dog. :2thumbs:
However, what I do find unacceptable, is coming onto this forum, spouting off about what most of us love about these bikes and what is unacceptable to you and so on. Yet, it is acceptable to you to show a complete lack of respect to the forum members by not posting an INTRO before bitching. WTF??
Peace, Out.

I apologize for offending anyone. I do plan on a K-9 one day in my stable. I will have to rework the bike to reduce any vibrations to within my tolerance levels so I can ride 500 miles a day and feel good about it. I didn't feel an introduction was warranted yet. FYI, I own 3 Triumphs and a BSA. I am of the opinion that each bike serves a specific need.
some people introduce themselves before opening their mouths, some people butt in without the courtesy of an introduction.

Nuke,
welcome to the forum. Yes, an intro would have gone a long way instead of hi-jakin another member's thread. Sure, your post was related to the subject matter but was more bitching about your experience not helping the owner who may actually have a loose motor mount bolt.
If someone came on to a BSA or Triumph owner's group forum and started saying how they don't care for this or that on that particular style bike, i'm sure the teeth would come out there as well.
no hard feelings here, just stating the obvious.
Us Big Dog owners are pretty loyal to our bikes during the good times and bad. The purpose of this forum is to get us thru some of those bad times by passing on tech info, sharing previous maintenance related experiences or even sending a member a part or two to get him back on the road.
all in all, we have a great membership here and we welcome you to it whether you own a Big Dog or not. All we ask is that you follow the forum rules and guidelines. :2thumbs:
Eyeseem,
let us know if you find any loose bolts. Also, I'm moving this to the help wanted section where it belongs!
