Step-by-Step Guide:
- Prepare Motorcycle: Park your Indian Scout on a level surface using a kickstand or stand. Ensure the engine is off and cool.
- Locate Mounting Points: Identify the factory mounting points for passenger foot pegs on both sides of the motorcycle. These are typically located near the rear of the frame, below the passenger seat.
- Install Left-Side Peg: Align the left-side passenger foot peg assembly with the corresponding mounting point. Insert the provided mounting hardware (bolts and washers) and hand-tighten.
- Install Right-Side Peg: Align the right-side passenger foot peg assembly, which includes the integrated foot guard, with its mounting point. Due to the proximity of the exhaust system, this side may require careful maneuvering. Insert the provided mounting hardware and hand-tighten.
- Tighten Hardware: Using appropriate tools, tighten all mounting hardware securely. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific torque specifications to prevent overtightening or loosening during operation.
- Final Inspection: After tightening, ensure both foot pegs are firmly attached and can pivot smoothly. Check that the right-hand foot guard provides adequate clearance from the exhaust.

7. Operating Instructions
These passenger foot pegs are designed for ease of use and versatility.
- Deploying Pegs: To deploy the foot pegs for a passenger, simply pull them down from their folded position until they lock securely into place. Ensure they are fully extended and stable before a passenger mounts the motorcycle.
- Folding Pegs: When riding solo, the foot pegs can be folded up and out of the way. Push the peg upwards until it clicks into its stowed position. This prevents them from interfering with your riding or the motorcycle's aesthetics.
- Passenger Safety: Instruct your passenger to keep their feet firmly on the pegs at all times during travel. The grooved rubber surface provides excellent grip, but proper foot placement is crucial for stability and safety.
8. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and safe operation of your passenger foot pegs.
- Cleaning: Clean the foot pegs regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or rubber grips.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all mounting hardware for tightness. Check the rubber grips for wear or damage. Ensure the pivot mechanism operates smoothly and without excessive play.
- Lubrication: If the pivot mechanism becomes stiff, apply a small amount of motorcycle-safe lubricant to the pivot points.
9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Foot peg feels loose after installation. | Mounting hardware not tightened sufficiently. | Re-tighten mounting bolts to recommended torque specifications. |
