Mounting assembly for a motorcycle peg
A foot peg assembly for a motorcycle includes a mounting assembly including a mounting flange having an outer wall with a substantially planar front face and a lower surface extending from the outer wall. A mounting plate is configured to be coupled to the mounting flange to secure the mounting assembly to the motorcycle. An arm includes an elongated body extending from a first end coupled to the outer wall of the mounting assembly to a second end. A peg is coupled to the second end of the arm.
1. A foot peg assembly for a motorcycle, comprising:
a mounting assembly comprising:
a mounting flange including an outer wall having a substantially planar front face and a lower surface extending from the outer wall such that a non-orthogonal angle is defined between the substantially planar front face and the lower surface, and
a mounting plate configured to be coupled to the mounting flange to secure the mounting assembly to the motorcycle,
an arm including an elongated body extending from a first end coupled to the outer wall of the mounting assembly to a second end, and
a peg coupled to the second end of the arm, the peg extending along a longitudinal axis that extends orthogonal to the substantially planar front face of the outer wall.
2. The peg assembly of claim 1 , wherein:
the outer wall includes a plurality of attachment slots, and
the arm includes a mounting peg configured to be received in one of the plurality of attachment slots.
3. The peg assembly of claim 2 , wherein the outer wall includes three attachment slots.
4. The peg assembly of claim 2 , wherein:
the mounting peg of the arm extends along a longitudinal axis and includes a first plurality of teeth,
the outer wall includes a second plurality of teeth in each attachment slot, and
the first plurality of teeth are configured to selectively engage the second plurality of teeth to position the arm at a plurality of angular positions relative to the longitudinal axis.
5. The peg assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mounting flange includes a channel sized to receive a portion of a frame of the motorcycle.
6. The peg assembly of claim 5 , wherein the channel of the mounting flange and the mounting plate cooperate to define a joint configured to receive the portion of the frame to secure the mounting assembly to the motorcycle.
7. The peg assembly of claim 6 , wherein the mounting plate includes a first beam extending under the channel to define a portion of the joint.
8. The peg assembly of claim 7 , wherein the lower surface of the mounting flange includes a slot sized to receive an end of the first beam.
9. The peg assembly of claim 7 , wherein the mounting flange includes a pair of open slots that are connected to the channel and cooperate with the mounting flange and the mounting plate to define the joint.
10. The peg assembly of claim 9 , wherein the mounting plate includes a second beam extending orthogonal to the first beam, the second beam extending from a first end positioned under a first open slot of the pair of open slots to a second end positioned under a second open slot of the pair of slots.
11. The peg assembly of claim 5 , wherein the channel includes a curved section.
12. The peg assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a peg mount positioned between the arm and the peg and configured to selectively engage the arm to position the peg at a plurality of angular positions relative to the longitudinal axis.
13. The peg assembly of claim 12 , wherein the peg mount includes a first end hingedly attached to a second end so that the second end is rotatable relative to the first end.
14. A method of coupling a peg to a motorcycle, the method comprising:
securing a portion of a frame of the motorcycle between a mounting plate and a mounting flange, the portion of the frame extending along a first axis,
attaching an arm to an outer wall of the mounting flange, the outer wall including a substantially planar front face extending at a non-orthogonal angle relative to the first axis, and
coupling a peg to the arm such that the peg extends along a second axis that extends orthogonal to the substantially planar front face of the outer wall.
15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
selecting an attachment slot from a plurality of attachment slots defined in the outer wall,
wherein attaching the arm to the outer wall includes positioning a mounting peg of the arm in the selected attachment slot.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein attaching the arm to the outer wall includes rotating the arm about a third axis defined by the mounting peg.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein rotating the arm about the third axis defined by the mounting peg includes selectively engaging a first plurality of teeth of the mounting peg with a second plurality of teeth positioned in the selected attachment slot.
18. The method of claim 14 , further comprising positioning the portion of the frame in a channel defined in the mounting flange.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein positioning the portion of the frame includes positioning a crash guard of the motorcycle in the channel defined in the mounting flange.
20. The method of claim 14 further comprising coupling a peg mount between the arm and the peg, the peg mount configured to selectively engage the arm to position the peg at one of a plurality of angular positions relative to the longitudinal axis.
