Bought 'em, like the looks of 'em, but can't get 'em open while riding to save my life. Have any of you guys who have them modified them somehow to open them easier?
I thought I'd read somewhere where there was a nubbin on the back end to help get them opened - nope.
I'd appreciate any ideas.
Extend the footpeg. Under the pivot is a nylock nut. Loosen the nut slightly until it is easier to open the peg. The nut won't fall out as the nylon insert holds it tight even though it feels loose.

Open them when you leave and close them when you get off. It works.
Put a DAB of lubricant at the pivot point .... opens like cutting butter
That is what I did and can open them on the fly while riding.
Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
Or...drill and tap the ends and install a socket head cap bolt. Like this:

This will definitely solve your problem.

Being somewhat if a klutz, I expected to have to modify mine but I found that if I adjusted the tension, I could manage mine quite well. Just have to watch that you don't get them too loose.

I got'em. love'em.
Maybe I just got long arms, but if I forget to open them up before the ride, I just reach down one at time and open up.
No complaints here.
+1 - I either open them up ahead of time, or I set my Go Cruise and flip them open...super easy. When I first received these, I opened and closed them numerous times to loosen the tension a bit.
