Hello, Just wondering if anyone offers a set of highway pegs/mounts for a vmax? I love my bike but lately long trips im cramping up, it would be nice to have my legs stretched out a bit. Maybe engine guards?

Better yet i just searched through the gallery and spotted a vmax with billet aluminum forward controls! Are they something that can be purchased or were they fabricated? I would prefer the billet forward controls!!

Get the highway pegs mounted to the engine guards from Sean Morley.
We sell a forward control setup as well as the modified engine guards.
Couldn't find a picture Sean???????:confused2:
Don't have it on the work computer here. Head to the facebook link in my signature. The forward controls can be seen in the pictures of the Muscle Exhaust pics and video on the "Blue" bike.
There is a photo album showing the various flip up peg conversions we have on the OEM engine guards.

Has anyone ever seen these?? It looks like the pegs are further out for us long leg folks. I just wonder if they will still work with my engine guards. hmmm......
Well hell, I just now realized they were on a Shadow. But the description on the site says it fits a VMAX. The picture is just for reference

There is a set like that for the Vmax. I think I had to get a replacement peg for a customer before.

Never installed them, as soon as I got them I knew they would stick out too much in the position I would have to reach them. I think they would look better if they were pointed further forward and the pegs adjusted. They are very stout bars and have a quality feel to them, they are made out of billet aluminum.

I just got these and installed them. I haven't had any other pegs to compare them to but just having something up there is a world of difference on the bike for highway/interstate riding. They don't stick out too far, possibly could come out a bit further, but for the price you can't really go wrong.

Even if you were looking for something more permanent these would get you by until then. They can go in a couple different places and be flipped around to be a bit closer or further away. I'm 5'9" and they're great for me. I think they look good too!

I use my engine guards as foot rests . My legs cramp and some arthritis issues nice to have extension for legs but the guards can save your engine in case of a dumping . I know I dumped couple weeks ago . Bent my guard up but saved my engine from any damages.. Soft landing side of the road ..

What's the guard saving your engine on a spill have to do with mounting highway pegs?
And I would think you would want something more substantial for resting your feet than the guards if you have arthritis. I've tried that before and you have to constantly use leg muscle to hold them up there.
engine guards the engine in case # 1 #2 can be used as a foot rest or a simple stretch of legs .. arthritis is in my joints not the muscle it makes very uncomfortable to ride on pegs with both feet for me that is ..

You got some skills to know how to bring the bike in for a safe landing
Still don't see how having highway pegs is going to save your engine though.
