How To Replace Footpegs On Harley-Davidson (FXDR)

[@BlockheadMoto]

Yes, it's out of chronological order. No, I didn't reinstall the OEM exhaust and air cleaner. Why out of chronological order? B/c stuff, that's why. Happy Humpdayeee! 🐫

BLOCKHEAD It screws with my OCD!

[@atozrecovery518]

Totally off subject, but have you heard anything about article 13? The European parliament is trying to pass a law saying that if a person give his/her opinion on a product, and it's from European they can sue you. Hopefully KZbin is behind its content creators. If not it gonna change everything.

[@iancrandall9803]

Its funny how I don’t need help installing any of these things but I just watch them so you get your views and likes.

[@nathanbretherton9760]

Thank u blockhead , big help for my change 😎

[@marshallcox134]

Thank you block head i love you!

[@kevinf9183]

I'll be damn. I was an ASE certified technician for 12 years. I worked at two new car dealerships, and a handful of quick service shops. You are the first person I have ever seen, in 35 years, remove an E clip with snap ring pliers. Never too old to learn something.

[@jeffreynye3019]

Seriously, I didn't know you could utilize snapring pliers on Eclipse! Awesome! Been a maintenance tech for 30years and never once thought of that.

[@thetoast659]

Man, you're just hitting all the points to help me change out pieces of my bike! Thanks for sharing Block!

[@paulson9616]

How is this peg when it comes to gripping, thinking about installing this SM speed peg on for my highway peg.

[@davidgriffiths9251]

@BLOCKHEAD Wow you're getting a lot of criticism, keep on doing it your way. I didn't need to watch this, I'm mechanically inclined, I watched to support you and so I could give it a thumbs up. I'm sure it will help some people, keep on keeping on. I'm gonna watch the shiffter peg install next.

[@monsride]

would these fit on HD Street XG500?

[@sebaswolf2822]

Whats up I have a question can you install mid controls on the FXDR? Or there's no aftermarket parts for it ? Thanks.

[@hartzellglj]

FYI, those clips are called E-clips. The ones you showed in the end of the video in the plastic case are snap rings. I've never tried to use snap ring pliers on an E-clip. Good to know they work out well. Not sure if you know this but the rear pegs on softails use a detent ball and spring now. When you remove them make sure you bring the stainless piece with the peg or your detent ball is going airborne.

[@mike50cal.26]

Hi Blockhead, those pegs are they bigger? I've got the same bike. Thinking of changing them out with Dominion pegs.

[@insfree]

hey man, i got a question... are those metal footpegs slippery? i bought one and some C*** couldnt help but comment on how "dangerous" it is compared to the stock bcuz its "slippery"

[@THEfishingMEDIC]

It’s not a 2AM upload!! ( Houston time ) My mind is blown Blockhead!!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Right?! Dammit, that was my bad, somehow glanced over the time when scheduling it, haha

[@datdudehoppy]

Hey something that I could do once I get another Bike! May be awhile, but easy fix. Thank you sir✌🇺🇸

👊

[@bigmike7939]

Hey block hit me up if you want to get rid of the stock pegs you took off!!

[@TrakesFangs]

Do you have plans for a new shifter and brake pedal?

[@hOlMeS7871]

Any chance you could do a passenger seat and foot pegs install?

[@LatinoRider]

Nice job!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Danke!

[@germanaussie6138]

When and why did the bassani exhaust disappear? I noticed it was gone in the last video too. are the videos in order of when they happened?

[@wallyj1387]

could have been recorded a while ago maybe?

[@germanaussie6138]

I just looked at the bassani exhaust video and the pegs and bar grips had been installed. Blockhead has just released the videos in the wrong order. He should have released the bar grips video first, then the pegs video and lastly the bassani exhaust install and sound video last. Not sure why the delayed releases though...

[@vector6977]

These were before the exhaust. These pegs were already on when he did the exhaust videos.

[@BlockheadMoto]

See pinned comment.

[@jonesst0101]

Block not trying to be a dick but the retaining rings on your bike for the pegs is called an E clip. There can be removed with a screw driver. The main thing is that E clips are not meant to be reused. When they are removed they lose holding tension. The other rings you showed were snap rings. Hope this comment does not offend I know your just a guy in your garage but hey us guys still like to be right. Keep wrenching.

[@ILike2Tinker]

I just noticed that you did this before the exhaust, but you published the exhaust video first.

[@BlockheadMoto]

See pinned comment.

[@MrNosajwhitey]

Why don't you show the shifter peg install at the same time?

[@zifu_]

cuz he gets another video out of that install now 😂

[@BlockheadMoto]

Boom, Zifu gets it 😁

[@PeanutEOD]

Just out of curiosity, why do so many people on KZbin try to work on bikes one handed. Set the damn camera down on a tripod and use two hands.

[@ConradLarsonGaming]

He's not holding the camera in one hand dude. It's mounted to his body.

[@giantheartstrongmind]

Im 75% sure most of the time he's wearing his helmet with the GoPro mounted if he's not holding the camera lol I don't think Block wants to use a tripod since he won't reveal his face

[@BlockheadMoto]

Most of the vid it was held in one hand, some of the time it was on a tripod. Why? B/c sometimes a tripod isn't best for getting angles the best that allow the viewer to see what's actually happening.

[@ConradLarsonGaming]

@@BlockheadMoto do you have a Steadicam handle or something? You hold it crazy steady.

[@PeanutEOD]

Fair enough. I was just wondering. I would like to start making some videos of my own, so I’d like to gather as much info as possible before I start.

[@vargas5385]

bet

[@BlockheadMoto]

how much

[@Freelunch10]

Got my V Rod Muscle in pieces, waiting for painting to wrap up. All of these project videos are making me jealous! Keep up the awesome vids! #MNWinterProblems

[@BlockheadMoto]

The waiting game with paint, argh! I know the feeling, about to go through it, haha

[@williamchesser895]

Still no exhaust on miss blocks bike 😯😮😲😠😂😂😂

[@Barmatthew]

Nice easy install....but is it just me wondering who the hell would thumbs down this video?? Just shaking my head here. The mods are coming along nicely. Thanks Blockhead

[@BlockheadMoto]

[@robertlumsden942]

I agree you will always have them. nice looking pegs.

[@bevestush]

What is this 0630 CST voodoo?

[@BlockheadMoto]

lol, yeah that was my bad

[@crewgadjy]

Really ? A whole video on changing pegs, whats next a video on filling up with petrol? Jesus dude, I know your trying to make a living out of this but don't take the piss, plenty of other guys out there doing it. ;)

[@BlockheadMoto]

Think about it like this: Some people out there weren't born with mechanical abilities. For example in this video, I use snap ring pliers. I didn't know what snap ring pliers were before working on bikes, and I'm sure many others out there don't know either. There's been 'plenty of other guys' out there doing a lot of what I do, and since before I started doing it. Yet many of my "How To" videos rank highly, lots of people use and prefer them because of how thorough they are, and I get constant positive feedback saying they have helped and given many people the confidence to do these modifications themselves, rather than paying a dealership to do them. That's a win in my book, so I'm gonna continue to do what I do, despite what others do or don't approve of. Tbh, I couldn't care less. Don't need the help? Easy solution: Don't watch it, and don't comment. For some reason, this solution seems difficult for people to understand, and a *very* hard task for many people to actually do these days. Suppose that's the society we've shaped up for ourselves giving out 'participation awards' and parents coddling children, telling them their opinions matter. Harsh reality? Most of the time, it doesn't. Ride safe! ✌

[@crewgadjy]

@@BlockheadMoto I do like watching you, but this episode was taking the piss. A thirty second segment in a video covering other things yes but a whole a hole video? As for the circlip pliers you don't need em, you can get away with a flat blade screw driver. ;). Anyway keep up the ( mostly ) good work.

[@eddietheloggie]

Great videos, but they're setting off my OCD! PLEASE post them chronologically, I know you've changed the exhaust, air filter and fuelpak as we've already seen them yet there you are with the old exhaust. My OCD can't stand it! Now I'm gonna have to go around and check all my posters, photos, paintings and clocks are straight as well as all my clothes hangers are pointing in the correct direction.

[@BlockheadMoto]

You're not even my real dad! G'luck w/ the OCD in the coming videos, lol

[@HARMARSCH2]

Blockhead Nice Job. Those footpegs looks better. Thanks for sharing.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks!

[@edgufler1122]

The pegs are very nice. Like the Black and Gold theme you have going on the bike.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks Ed!

[@DanielJackson98]

You didn’t provide a link to the bike you used 😂😂😂😂 JK, keep up the great videos man!

[@tjjohnson7565]

At 4:20 is it just me, or does it look like he bled putting the pegs on? There's red paint on the floor presumably right where he was working... lol

[@BlockheadMoto]

That'd be A LOT of blood for a peg install 😂 Yes, it's red paint from the previous tenant of the garage, haha

[@chrisb9960]

I thought he tried to use to drill again. Those things need to come with warning labels. lol

[@tjjohnson7565]

@@BlockheadMotolol ok.

[@bullgrim]

Ugliest footpegs ever.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Your opinion = 💩

[@bullgrim]

@@BlockheadMoto Im a proud owner since 15 years ago. My opinion is based in aesthetic experience PLUS I work as a designer. Maybe we should turn the direction of that smiling lil shit and send it back to where it came from. And yes, those footpegs are an aesthetic disgrace. Have a long life.

[@BlockheadMoto]

@@bullgrim Explains trying to validate opinion.... still = 💩 Let me clarify: By 💩, I mean that your opinion is yours to have, but it doesn't mean anything to me. RSSV! ✌
