Norge Windscreen and Peg Options

[polkpr]

I have used my credit card quite a few times with Chinese companies. No problems so far. If possible I do it through PayPal using my credit card for double protection since I don't really trust PayPal to stand behind a problem.
However, if that is really a turn off price the entire assembly from Honda online. I checked Ron Ayers online and with the springs and shipping they were $72 of which $6 was the springs so not a lot more than China and you get OEM Honda. Currently my friend in the Gold Wing club thinks he has a line on some so I'll wait a few days before I order.

The Honda dealer price is about $100 (PER SIDE). I might be wrong, but the Ron Ayers price of $72 is most likely for one side. If it's for both, good deal for sure.

I purchased the pair for $72 ($72.21 with shipping). I priced them at several other online sites and they were lowest cost with shipping. Having worked at a Honda dealer and having owned and still own several Honda's I am used to their pricing.
I might have wanted just one side if I was going to race flat track with it!

Another plus to the GW pegs is the stock shifter and brake toe pieces work. I had added an offset toe piece to my rear brake lever so I could reach it. With the peg install I put the OEM back on. I thought I might need it for the shifter since I lowered the pegs enough that I didn't need it for the brake but I was able to adjust the stock toe piece to work. Coupled with the Corbin seat my bike is much more comfortable to ride.

I bought mine for almost nothing on a popular auction site.

Here are the Ulysses pegs I just installed on my Norge. Quite a bit lower but they also transmit a bit more vibration. They are also a lot wider, such that I find myself occasionally hitting them with the back of my leg when lifting my feet from a stop. Had to grind some material off the right side to clear the brake pedal. I was hoping to reuse the stock springs but they're too short to work.

The brake is now at the perfect height. Just placing the weight of my foot on the pedal will slow the bike down. Much less activation/reaction time and way more leverage now. For the shifter, I lowered it by one spline and shifting is almost identical to before the footpeg swap.

As previously mentioned, the sidestand hits the peg but I don't mind. In fact, I prefer it, as the rubber isolator for the sidestand spring no longer gets burned by the exhaust pipe. One photo shows the approximate installed height of the stocker to give you an idea of the height difference. I paid $36 per side from St Paul HD.

Old post I know, but would these footpegs fit and have the same effect on a 2008 Norge? And does anyone know the part number for the related springs?

FootPegs: Gold Wing Pegs......................... I think the Italian Designers have little legs........... Or they like a super tight seating position. Seems like this is the case on all current MG's with the exception of the Stelvio or Cali, and even the Cali is tight for a big cruiser. Too tight for me. I have the KD Knight pegs on my Griso and find them FUGLY......... But it is a Thug so dont mind it. Not so on the Norge....... I want to keep the clean look and lines and design, so I wanted to keep the silver peg and black rubber. If you look at the stock pegs on the newer Norges, you will see that it has a 1"+ block of rubber. After looking around, I found a set of 2005 Goldwing Pegs, they are flat, quality construction, have a small drop and are much thinner, give a little wider surface for stability and are over an inch lower, look great, and without all the complications of lowering the brake and shift lever. Plus they are $50. I found a set on sleaze bay, but these are just like them.

Installed the goldwing pegs and windscreen and both really make a huge improvement. Measuring from the floor to the top of the rubber, the Stock peg was about 15 5/8" The Goldwing pegs measure 14 3/8" so about 1 1/8" inch drop and really feels so much more comfortable. No interference with the side stand and no need to adjust the brake or shift levers. The gap between the pin and peg is too large for the spring to work, so will need to address this in the future.

Looking to do the same thing on my 2014 Norge. Do u have any close up pics of the new pegs installed? Thanks

im getting ready to start this project. i have the goldwing pegs but i have a set of knightdesign pegs coming too.
has anybody tried filling in the stock peg channel with jb weld and put 3m nonskid tape over it. might try that first. my knees have been takin a beating with stock peg height. if your 6 foot or over this is a must do

I found brand new GL1800 pegs that the Honda owner removed in favour of Foot Boards. I bought the pair for $35.00 CDN! I discovered that RS Honda spring fits in perfectly on the Norge LS. The LS Honda spring requires a hole to be drilled on the Norge RS. See photos.

i ordered springs from revzilla. ebay was to expensive.

 

[maverick9611]

here is stock pegs filled in with jb weld. 3m safewalk tape will be overlayed over it

There is liquid silicone of various stiffness that would work well for that job. It's made for rebuilding or stiffening bushings.

 

[maverick9611]

here is first prototype
thinking about hooping o-rings on the peg also

 

[maverick9611]

i abandoned the stock foot peg mod. i went with some knights

 

[maverick9611]

the knight design drop pegs bolt right up. only fun you will have to try to load torsion spring while pushing pin thru to capture it. i cursed quite a bit
