Ciro Shift Peg
Ciro Shift Pegs: Built Around the Chicane Design
The shift peg is the one control your left foot touches on every ride, so its shape, grip and feel matter more than its size suggests. Ciro approaches this small component with the same design thinking it applies to its larger footrest and floorboard products. The result is the Chicane shift peg, a bolt-on upgrade for Harley-Davidson riders who want a more confident, better-looking shifting surface. You can browse the full range of shift pegs from many makers, or explore the wider Ciro brand page for the company's other rider-focused accessories.
What Sets the Chicane Shift Peg Apart
The defining feature of Ciro's shift peg is its mixed-material barrel. Simple installation and improved functionality stem from the unique metal and rubber barrel design. The peg is machined from aluminum and fastened with stainless steel hardware. The rubber section uses EPDM rubber, which provides traction and will not harden, crack or wear over time. That matters for riders who shift in wet weather, in gloves, or in boots with slick soles, where a bare metal peg can let a foot slip.
The rubber also helps with comfort: the design offers vibration dampening, which takes some of the buzz out of a long day on a V-twin.
Standard and Extended Lengths
Ciro offers the Chicane shift peg in two sizes, so riders can match the peg to their footwear and riding position:
- Standard: 2.5 inches long by 1.25 inches wide, a close match for stock proportions.
- Extended: 3.5 inches long by 1.25 inches wide. The extra length suits use with full-size floorboards, where the foot sits farther from the shift lever.
Both lengths come in chrome or black, so the peg can be coordinated with other bright or blacked-out hardware on the bike.
Fitment and Installation
This is a practical, no-fuss upgrade. Ciro describes it as a direct replacement for the stock shift peg on most H-D models, and it is designed for any 5/16-24 threaded shift arm. Sportsters with mid-controls are an exception. The kit includes a mounting bolt and lock washer, requires no drilling, and Ciro estimates an install time of about 15 minutes. As with any universal-style part, confirm your shift arm thread and available clearance before installing.
Part of a Matching Set
The shift peg belongs to Ciro's Chicane line, which also includes a brake lever pad, footpegs, floorboards and shift linkage. Riders who already run Chicane controls can complete the look with matching shapes and finishes. Those who want only the shifter upgrade can fit it on its own. Either way, it is an inexpensive way to improve the feel of a control you use constantly.
