Heavier Springs

Riding Is Wonderful, Inc.

A heavy spring (HS) is needed if you want to switch to a heavier "peg." We do not provide the heavier peg. (The standard stainless steel spring with our "peg" will last for >10 million cycles up and down.)

With this application the peg will not "fold up."

You will need to have the peg and long bolt. We provide the short bolt and 'coupler nut'.

The most common 'Heavy Spring' use is with the Model K leg (as shown here). Based on the recommendations of our testers, we do not provide an opportunity for the heavier peg to fold up. If the heavier peg folded up with any of our Models with the K leg, our testers noted safety issues and potental damage to the bike since most folding peg fold more than 90 degrees.

Most heavier pegs fit flush with our "leg". If your choice of peg doesn't have a flush surface, you may mount it as it is but some customers decide to grind off protrusions that hold a set screw.

Some want to mount a heavier peg/platform on their Mick-O-Peg "leg." That requires a modification since our springs are designed to only lift OUR lighter "peg" to the up position without slamming.

This modification is only allowed for SOME Mick-O-Pegs with the "pegs" pointing outboard and you will need to purchase/have the heavier peg.

A heavy spring (HS), to lift a Kuryakyn Dually ISO peg (for example) which weighs over a pound, has been the topic of several discussions on the Internet. We now have a heavy spring (stainless steel) that will require changing just two other parts of each Mick-O-Peg to provide a simple modification to existing Mick-O-Pegs.

The cost for the upgrade, which will include a pair of heavier springs, a pair of new "covers," a pair of "legs," new peg mounting bolts, and coupler nuts, will be $142.50 plus $7 S&H.

You'll need new legs because the hole for the heavier spring is larger and in a different location (the new legs will have 2 larger holes for the springs).

If you do not yet have Mick-O-Pegs and want the Heavy Spring (HS) version to start, you will need to order Model GA-HS, GF-HS, GQ-HS, KA-HS, KD-HS or KL-HS. These are the same price as our standard Models but do NOT include our lighter "pegs".
