First remove the split pin under the foot peg then push the mounting pin through.
Take note of the way the spring is in the end of the foot peg and swap it over to the new peg before replacing.
Reverse the removal procedure - the spring and pin can sometimes be a little difficult to line up and compress the spring at the same time but a simple job all and all.
There's a pin that holds the foot peg onto the foot peg extension. Take the clip off the backside of it and remove the pin. The foot peg will come off.
That would depend on the footpeg mounting hardware that you have purchased,,I personally if it were a set that I hadnt installed before then I would look at the instructions or simply look at how someone else has theirs set up. Always a good thing for someone new to the backyard mechanics to look at the instructions..If ya like let me know what style mounting your talking and Ill help ya more from there
Unless they've changed something that I don't know about, simply remove the pegs that are on the bike now and replace them with whatever type of pegs you want.
Now, if your bike is equipped with forward controls and you are wishing to install a set of mid mount foot pegs, you will need to purchase the foot peg mounting pieces. You need to go to a dealership, look at the parts manuals, and order the parts you need from them. Or, you could look around at a swap meet and possibly find the parts you need used. By doing this, you would have both mid mount and forward controls. Just make sure there is no interference with any linkage for the rear brakes or shifting. I have not done this particular job on a Sportster but have done it on a Dyna Wide Glide once. Turned out nice but the control linkage is different on a Sportster.
On my 1999 650 there are threads ready for engine guards or highway bars on the front end of the frame, but in your case most probably you have to undo one of the bolts on the front foot peg mount of both sides ( generally the lowest one ) put the bar there and rebolt it on top of everything.
Slider to which the pegs are attached is probably binding, take entire mechanism out (2 screws), and lubricate with silicone wax. If that doesn't work, replace sliders and pegs.
