Passenger Peg Crash Bar Frame Slider Installation for Harley® Low Rider / Street Bob (Fits '18+)

The HOGWORKZ® passenger peg crash bar serves as a replacement for stock passenger pegs, positioned slightly higher. Equipped with derlin pucks at the peg ends, it prevents the bike from gripping the pavement, thus minimizing potential damage. The pegs feature a gripper style to ensure a secure foot placement for passengers.

These HOGWORKZ® passenger pegs are especially compatible with the Highway Peg crash bar, significantly reducing the risk of the bike making complete contact with the handlebars and tank. For stunt enthusiasts, these pegs prove to be a valuable addition, enhancing bike protection during low-speed stunt practice.

4. Install the Left Side Peg:

  • Grab the new peg that has a cutout in it—this is the left side peg.
  • Apply a small amount of Loctite to the threads of the top mounting screw.
  • Insert the screw and start threading it into the top hole. Snug it up, but don't tighten it all the way yet. This allows you to align the bottom bolt.

5. Install the Saddlebag Grommet and Lower Bolt:

  • Remove the T45 screw from the saddlebag grommet.
  • Apply Loctite to the provided lower mounting screw.
  • Insert the new screw and thread it through the saddlebag grommet and into the lower mounting hole on the new peg.
  • Align the cutout on the grommet with the cutout on the peg's flange. Hold it in place while you tighten the screw.

6. Tighten Both Bolts and Reinstall the Saddlebag:

  • After the lower screw is snug, tighten both the top and bottom screws.
  • Reinstall the left saddlebag.

2. Remove the 5/16" Bolts:

  • Locate the upper and lower 5/16" Allen bolts that hold the factory passenger peg mount.
  • Use your 5/16" Allen wrench to remove both of these bolts.

3. Loosen the Exhaust Manifold Bolts:

  • Find the two exhaust manifold bolts at the rear of the exhaust and the two at the front.
  • Using your socket and universal joint bit extension, loosen these nuts until they're about even with the end of the stud. You do not need to remove them completely.
  • Loosening these will allow the exhaust to move slightly, creating the space you need.

  • Pull it out with your needle-nose pliers.

5. Install the Right Side Peg:

  • Apply Loctite to the threads of the new bolts.
  • Pull the exhaust out slightly and slide the new peg down behind it. The exhaust will help hold the peg in place.
  • Install the lower screw first and tighten it down.
  • Then, install and tighten the top screw. A stubby Allen wrench can be helpful here.

6. Tighten Exhaust Components:

  • Once the new peg is secure, re-tighten the exhaust heat shield bracket screws.
  • Then, re-tighten the exhaust manifold bolts—don't forget the one on the very front!

7. Reinstall the Saddlebag:

  • After everything is tightened, reinstall the right saddlebag to complete the installation.
