This is what you can expect to have if you do this mod.... ...this mod is more of a set of guidelines, rather than a "recipe". You need to secure the pegs in three points: two
lower mounts and the center down tube below the reflector. These pegs are about 10" forward and 5" higher than the stock pegs. |
|
For the lower clamps, DON'T use the top clamp type, use something like the ones on the bottom. |
|
Here's the piece of pipe with the threads cut off and the nylon spacers inside. I used a pipe cutter to cut off the threads, but it ruined two of them that I had. A hack saw might
hold up better. |
|
This threaded bolt.... |
|
...goes through these things (note the newly drilled smaller holes) (use a drill bit made for metal as close to the bolt size as possible... |
|
I'm waiting on a good clamp from JC Whitney for this connection. I used a pipe clamp from the plumbing section at the hardware store until my permanent clamp comes. |
|
When it's together it looks like this. I used loctite on all the threads and JB Welded the center down strap to the center tubing to prevent the ends to bend down under usage. They
flex a bit, but I'm confident they will stay put. I've done over 1000 miles on them without a problem. |

Bottom line:
I like the way they feel. Some of these photos show the designer style pegs, that was my first phase of the project, but I now have the o-ring style on and they are much much better. |
