Model KA is the prefered OPTION FOR TALL RIDERS OF GL1800's who want the maximum stretch on the highway.

With a 34" Inseam, KA gives this much stretch

How to Order

Pic #1. Models KA, KD and KL all look the same when not being used. The "block" is mounted on an angle of (usually) 25-35 degrees, moves the peg out as it rotates down, and gives more of a "Cruiser" riding position. The greater the angle, the more the peg moves out.



Pic #2. Model KA will allow the lowest peg position (about 6" from the pavement), least peg angle up and back, and least ability to lean (about 30 degrees) when using your Mick-O-Pegs. With a 32" inseam, Model KA may be an uncomfortable stretch when mounted all the way forward.

Model KD will provide a higher peg position (about 8" from the pavement), mid-range peg angle up and back, and more ability to lean (about 40 degrees) when using your Mick-O-Pegs. OK for 29" Inseam or more.

Model KL (no photo) will provide the highest peg position (more than 9" from the pavement) and most lean (about 45 degrees) when using your Mick-O-Pegs. OK for 27" Inseam or more.

By comparison, expect that your stock engine guards limit your lean to about 50 degrees.

Pic #3. COMPARISON of KA and KD.
Model KA is about 6" from the pavement while KD is about 8" from the pavement. Model KA allows about a 30 degree lean while Model KD allows about a 40 degree lean while using them.

HEAVIER SPRING versions became available in June '04 for mounting a heavier peg/platform. EXAMPLE: If you like the position of Model KA but want to mount a Kury ISO peg on the leg, you will want to order Model KA-HS (Heavier Spring). Please click on "heavy spring" before you decide.

Your riding style and preference are the bigest factors in deciding which will be most comfortable for you.
