Good job! Looks Tough! I like the footrest extensions you made for the bike. Keep up the good work

go for it, its whole new bike,im actually comfortable on long trips now!!

ps. its a pretty tricky job,make sure they clear the brake and shifter.and get a very strong type of metal,and at least 3/8ths thick.

also big props to jim-r,he really knows his sh!t

first u have to take the stock pegs off,u dont use them exept for the rubber.

second u will have to make your own pegs out of the stronger steel,(the stock ones are WAY to week),and not the right shape.  too do this just grind the metal down so it bolts into the same place as the stock pegs,u can trace the shape of the stock peg onto a pice of paper then cut it out and trace it onto your new metal,this eliminates alot of grinding and guess work.
be sure the pegs tuck in,but dont wiggle(washerswork)
third this is the must important step,cut a piece of metal,
for the extentions, how long is up to u.

this is where it gets trcky,cut the extentions at the right angle so they dont interfere with braking or shifting,and so that they are even on both sides(up,down,left,right)
then weld them to the pegs(making one piece).

then take the passenger pegs (or buy new ones),and weld them on the extensions where there comfortable.

DO NOT weld anything directly to the bike,the whole thing must be able to tuck in if u scrape them on a sharp curve , just as the stock ones do.

ps dont even try this if your not GREAT with welding,or good wth math,i can stand on only the extention pegs and they dont flex.

good luck ,hope u get it 8)

8)Man without the rear fender that Bike looks like a pit bull!! Cool!
