Kuryakyn Flamin Shift Peg Chrome Harley-Davidson Bad Boy Cross Bones Dyna Wide Glide

Upgrade Your Harley's Shift Control and Style

Your Harley-Davidson is more than just a bike; it’s a statement. Every detail counts. The stock shift peg, however, often gets overlooked. It can wear down, become less comfortable, or simply not match the custom look you're building.

A worn or plain shift peg isn't just an aesthetic issue. It can affect your shifting feel, comfort on long rides, and even your confidence. A solid, good-looking shift peg ensures reliable gear changes and adds to the overall riding experience. We see a lot of riders come through the shop looking to dial in these smaller but crucial details. That's exactly where the Kuryakyn Flamin Shift Peg Chrome comes in.

Kuryakyn Flamin Shift Peg Chrome: Product Overview

This isn't just another shift peg. Kuryakyn designed the Flamin Shift Peg Chrome for Harley-Davidson riders who want to add some distinct style while maintaining solid function. It features an eye-catching flame design finished in bright chrome. This peg isn't just about looks; it's engineered to provide a comfortable and secure shifting surface.

At CI Motorsports, we appreciate parts that bolt right on and do what they're supposed to. This Kuryakyn shift peg offers a direct fitment for a range of Harley-Davidson models, which means less time in the garage and more time on the road.

Key Features and Benefits

• Custom Flame Design: The standout feature is the sculpted flame pattern. It adds a unique, custom touch to your foot controls, flowing with the lines of your Harley.
• High-Quality Chrome Finish: This peg is built with premium materials and coated in a durable chrome finish. It resists corrosion and keeps its shine, even after miles of exposure.
• Secure Shifting Surface: Beyond the aesthetics, the design provides a comfortable and secure surface for your boot. This helps with precise shifts, reducing the chance of your foot slipping.
• Direct Fitment: Engineered for specific Harley-Davidson models, this shift peg replaces your factory unit directly. No modifications or custom fabrication are needed, making installation straightforward.
• Durability: Kuryakyn builds parts to last. This shift peg is no exception, designed to withstand regular use and the elements.

Kuryakyn Flamin Shift Peg Chrome Installation Notes

Replacing a shift peg is one of the easier upgrades you can do on your Harley. Even if you’re new to working on your bike, you can tackle this one yourself.

Tools You'll Need:

• Wrench: Typically a 1/2-inch or 9/16-inch wrench, or sometimes a Torx driver, depending on your specific Harley model and the bolt holding the existing peg.
• Blue Threadlocker (Loctite 242): Recommended for securing the bolt and preventing it from vibrating loose over time.
• Clean Rag: To wipe away any old grease or dirt.

Estimated Installation Time:

• 5-15 minutes. This is a quick job. Most of that time is spent locating your tools.

Difficulty Level:

• Very Easy. If you can operate a wrench, you can install this shift peg.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide:

• Safety First: Ensure your bike is parked on a level surface, preferably on its kickstand. The engine should be off and cool.
• Locate the Stock Shift Peg: Find the existing shift peg on your left foot control. It will be attached to the shift lever.
• Remove the Old Peg: Use your wrench or Torx driver to loosen and remove the bolt holding the stock shift peg. Keep this bolt handy.
• Clean the Mounting Area: Once the old peg is off, give the mounting hole and the bolt a quick clean with your rag. Make sure there’s no old threadlocker residue or grime.
• Prepare the New Peg: Apply a small amount of blue threadlocker to the threads of the bolt you just removed. Just a couple of drops are enough.
• Install the Kuryakyn Flamin Shift Peg: Position the new Kuryakyn shift peg onto the shift lever. Insert the bolt through the peg and into the mounting hole.
• Tighten the Bolt: Hand-tighten the bolt first, making sure it threads in smoothly. Then, use your wrench to snug it down. Do not overtighten. A snug fit is enough to hold it securely without stripping threads.
• Final Check: Give the new peg a wiggle to ensure it’s firmly attached. Cycle through the gears a few times with the bike off to confirm it doesn't interfere with anything.

Common Installation Mistakes to Avoid:

• Overtightening: Stripping the threads on your shift lever is a headache you want to avoid. Snug is good; reefing on it is bad.
• Forgetting Threadlocker: Vibrations from riding can loosen fasteners. Blue threadlocker is your friend here. It prevents the bolt from backing out without making it impossible to remove later.
• Dropping Hardware: Keep track of your bolt. It’s small and easy to lose, especially if you’re working outside.

Fitment / What It Fits

This Kuryakyn Flamin Shift Peg Chrome is a direct replacement for specific Harley-Davidson models and years. Before ordering, always confirm your exact year, make, and model to ensure proper fitment. This part is designed for:

• Harley-Davidson 1995-1997 BAD BOY
• Harley-Davidson 2008-2010 Cross Bones FAT BOB
• Harley-Davidson 2008-2010 Rocker C
• Harley-Davidson 1993-2010 Dyna Wide Glide
• Harley-Davidson 1983-2010 Electra Glide
• Harley-Davidson 2004-2006 Road King

What to Confirm Before Ordering:

Harley-Davidson models can have variations, even within the same model year range. If your bike has aftermarket shift levers or non-standard controls, double-check compatibility. The easiest way is often to compare your current shift peg's mounting style to the Kuryakyn design or consult your service manual.

What It Doesn't Fit (General Note):

This shift peg is designed specifically for the models listed above. It will not fit other Harley-Davidson models or non-Harley bikes that use a different mounting system for their shift pegs. Always verify your application.

Maintenance and Care for Your Chrome Shift Peg

Keeping your Kuryakyn Flamin Shift Peg looking good is simple:

• Regular Cleaning: Wash with mild soap and water, just like you would the rest of your chrome. A microfiber cloth works best to avoid scratches.
• Dry Thoroughly: Water spots can dull chrome. Dry the peg immediately after washing.
• Chrome Polish/Wax: For an extra shine and protection, use a dedicated chrome polish or wax every few months. This helps repel water and dirt, keeping the finish vibrant.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals. These will scratch the chrome and ruin the finish.

Customer Considerations

Who This Product Is For:

• Custom Builders: Riders looking to add a distinct, custom flame aesthetic to their Harley's foot controls.
• Replacement Seekers: Anyone needing to replace a worn, damaged, or lost stock shift peg with a higher quality, more stylish option.
• Detail-Oriented Riders: Those who believe that every part of their bike, no matter how small, contributes to the overall look and feel.
• Harley Owners of Specified Models: If you own a Bad Boy, Cross Bones, Dyna Wide Glide, Electra Glide, or Road King within the listed years, this is a direct, easy upgrade.

Who Might Consider Other Options:

• Strictly Stock Enthusiasts: If you're aiming for a 100% factory original restoration, this custom peg won't fit that bill.
• Performance-Only Focus: While it provides a secure surface, the primary benefit here is aesthetic and comfort. If you're building a race bike and every gram counts, there might be lighter, more performance-specific options (though a shift peg rarely falls into this category).
