Ryan, I sent an email and then several additional emails with photos of my 2009 with the Ronnies Pegs. It looks as if the lower bar drops down farther as it directs to the rear mounting position. Could you check out my photos and see if they help with the Gen 1 fitment. Thanks.

I saw your other posting. To me, it looks like Ronnie's pegs are not going to be compatible with the gen 1 canyons.
I'll be sure to check out the photos when I get back in the office on Monday morning. As is, it appears as though they're not going to work together but there may be some sort of small change we can make to either the Canyon Cage or the pegs themselves. I'll look into this on Monday when I have a chance to check out the photos. Also, I went into this in another thread as well, but maybe we can set up a "guinea pig" arrangement for you to test both products because you already have the pegs. We can speak more on Monday when I have a chance to see the photos and I respond to your email.
You are so reasonable it is insane
I can certainly understand 556Alpha's concern- since Ronnie's Pegs are extremely nice and pretty dern expensive.
Ryan,
I sent ya a PM but figured someone else may want to know as well so they could be the tester. I decided to sell the Ronnie's Pegs, they are great out of the box and I didn't see a way to modify them. I also looked at the photos of the bike laid over and the initial touching points are down low (where they would interfere with the pegs). Obviously I would want the max protection and modifying the bars by raising the lowest point would cause the bike to lay over more and come to a rest later causing possible damage. Long story short I will attach a set of pegs to the Canyon Cages. Not my favorite option but probably the most functional. Maybe someone else will decide they want to find a way to make these work together.
Anyone else encounter this problem? Any solutions other than brute force?I had to use a breaker bar.
I would like to show photos of the mounted cages but I can't loosen the 10 mm socket flange head bolts on either side of the engine (steps 4 and 10). Liquid wrench penetrating oil hasn't helped. I am either going to apply max torque to the socket wrench and risk stripping the sockets, or go to the local dealer and pay them $100/hour rate to loosen the bolts (and fix any stripped bolts that they cause). Anyone else encounter this problem? Any solutions other than brute force?
The side bags went on relatively easily, after drilling out the holes on the passenger foot pegs just a bit so that the 6 mm screws would pass through.
Good workmanship on this product!
Gumbi and Ryan, many thanks for the suggestion. Bought a breaker bar and it worked like a charm. Red threadlocker on screw. Torque is a wonderful thing, as is the helpful advice on this forum. Thanks again.
Cages with added highway pegs. Talk about total comfort!
