For riders concerned about mounting anything to their horizontal engine guard. Model GF provides a straight
leg position for a rider with a 32" inseam and stock seat. When the peg is down, it will be about 7" from the pavement.
Model GQ provides a straight leg position for a rider with a 29" inseam and stock seat. When the peg is down, it
will be about 9 1/2" from the pavement.
| Model GF - about 7" from the pavement |
|
| Just ahead of the center bolt on the valve cover |
| Comparison of GF with KD |
|
| KA would be down and forward from KD - close to the GF peg, but about 2" farther out. |
Models EF, and EQ provide a foot position lower and farther back than GF and GQ because the "E" legs are 3" longer than the "G" legs.
If you have decided on a Model, please continue with Step #2 & #3 to consider all the information.

| Lay a piece of paper from the side of the tire up |
|
| to the engine guard to see that the block on the vertical won't touch when the bike falls or leans. |
When Model GF & GQ are mounted this low, the mounting block just touches. The end of the peg touched already and
flexed in toward the valve cover, but does not touch it or cause any damage to our bike.
A very aggressive rider may drag
the peg, which will grind as it flexes in, but not the block.
By rotating the mounting block on the vertical engine guard, you choose how close your leg is to the
valve cover. On a GL1800, with the block mounted square, the peg is a little closer to the valve cover, when being used,
than the comparable Models KA or KD. It is similar on '98-00 GL1500.
