namtugeoj Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Finally got a new job so the wife said I could reward myself with buying something for my bike. A purchase she knows about. Anyway I decided on finally getting some highway pegs. Found the Type of pegs I want http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/495/Longhorn-Offset-Peg-Mountsbut I need to get the right size of Quick Clamp(s) to go with it. The clamps will be attaching to my down tubes of the frame. I measured the tube to be 35.25 mm round which translates to 1.38 inch. The clamps come in at sizes of 1-1/4 , 1.35, 1 - 1/8, 1, and 1-1/2. Here is the product page for them http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/531/Magnum-Quick-Clamps.I am working with Nate to get the right stuff. He suggested i get the 1.35 size, My question is wont the 1.35 be too small for the frame tube? Should I get a bigger size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I would go with the bigger size and fill the gap with a piece of rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 It will have to be tight or it will move. Smaller than the tube is typical, so it will be tight. Larger than the tube, with rubber or something in between is also done. Prevents scratching the frame. It will have to be tight also. I've done it both ways.Smaller = scratch the frame.Larger = might move.Opinion, it's a clamp, it's probably going to move anyway. But Kuryakyn is a good name brand.

I Don't want to scratch the frame yet i don't want to be going 70 down 270 and it moves and my foot smacks the pavement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
