Title: matching grips, updated, updated photo
Post by sluggo on 12/17/06 at 15:10:58

here's my most recent mod.

matching pegs front rear and grips total $40.00
the passenger pegs also contain led's for turn signals.
they began life as "stunt rider" pegs for bicycles.

yes, ok during daytime, great at night.

they look great as a set. hand grips have rubber inserts to dampen vibration.

bicycle isle at wally world. their called mongoose stunt pegs. they come with some blue led's that screw on to valve stem. i refuse to pay the high price of motorcycle parts. the motif of thumper is used parts or parts made for something else. tail light is off a 1950 international flat bed.

work bench? thumper is surrounded by tools on the floor. easier to reach that way. contrast that with max, he's got a really orginized shop. tools all have a place and kept there.

So there seems to be a theme with those that tinker.

Sluggo How much work was it to mount the GN400 fenders ?? Maybe that will be my next mod

Title: Re: matching grips, updated, updated photo
Post by Five_Points on 12/18/06 at 07:45:29

Ditto that. Any tips, pics, or anything to help us with, Sluggo? I love that bobber look. Gotta get me one of them GN400 fenders! Any particular year to look for?

samm, front was a piece of cake, just need to fab 4 little brackets one for each hole.

rear was a little more difficult, it took several attempts to come up with a suitable bracket, i'll walk you through or make them for ya.

five points, it's an 81 but it was made between 80-84

you can also go to the bone yard and find one from several different machines. i'm thinking of buying a few, fab the brackets and make them available. any takers?
