Shift Pegs

Shift Pegs: the small part your left boot lives on

A shift peg is the pad your foot pushes to change gears. It threads into the shift lever on a studded arm and gives your boot a defined surface to hook up and press down on, trip after trip. When the rubber wears smooth, cracks, or the peg loosens, you lose the clean feel at the toe and your shifts get vague. Swapping in fresh shift pegs is a straightforward job with hand tools and is one of the cheapest ways to sharpen how the bike shifts and how the controls look.

Some pegs are simple rubber replacements for a factory part; others are styled billet-and-chrome pieces meant to change the look of your foot controls as much as the feel.

What we stock

There are 16 shift pegs in stock right now, from 2 brands: Kuryakyn (15 of the 16) and Bikers Choice. Prices currently run from $27 to $91 - that is the live range for what is on the shelf, not a standing offer.

The fitment data we have points to Harley-Davidson applications, with model-year references spanning 1965 to 1995. Note that only one of the listed products carries detailed fitment data in our system, so confirm your specific bike before you order.

How to choose

The real decision here is replacement versus restyle. If your only goal is to fix a worn or torn peg and keep the stock look, a plain rubber peg like the Bikers Choice unit does the job for the least money - just match the stud thread and length to what you're removing. If you want the peg to change the look of the bike, the Kuryakyn Spear pegs cost more and come in chrome or black to match the rest of your hardware. Both do the same mechanical job; you're paying for finish and styling above the basics.

Whatever you pick, check the stud size and the shift lever it threads into so the new peg seats fully and stays tight.

What else you need

Shift pegs live in the same corner of the bike as the rest of your shifting hardware. Pair them with parts from Shift Components if a lever or linkage is also tired. If you're working through the drivetrain more broadly, browse the parent Drivetrain section, which also covers Clutch Levers, Clutch Components, Sprockets, and Chain Components. Owners chasing looks often add matching pieces from Differential Covers and Flywheels.
