It's gonna be a good weekend... Today I just received my K&N cone filter in the mail. Needless to say I 86'ed the airbox. I also went down to some cycle stores and picked up a 150 main jet and a 50 pilot. I also picked up some washers for the white spacer mod. Not to mention that I got the bracket and some hardware for a battery relocation plus some rubber spacers for the seat lift mod so I can move the magic SH*T box. Oh, I also I also got some black exhaust wrap and a new muffler... Ya it's gonna be a great 4 day weekend.

Amen to that. I've got a higway peg project I've been putting off for a month, because everytime I get the time to do it, it's just too pretty not to ride. Yeah, I'm a slacker.

I put together a highway peg setup last night, but I don't think it's going to stay.  Too many parts, leading me to believe that I might be killed if one of them fails.  I bought materials today to build a better outfit.


If you look closely, you can see them here.  It might give anyone thinking of building their own some ideas on what to avoid.  The key components of this rig were handlebars from a 1970's snowmobile, windshield clamps from Kay's first windshield off the GZ250, and the passenger foot pegs off the parts Savage.  



I'm going to use handlebar risers from the parts bike, along with some heavier pipe on the next draft.  I think I'll stick with the old passenger pegs, as they fold up nicely, and kind of match the rest of the bike.

CPLgrrr, sounds like you better leave a little time to work on your lawn mower, too.

Sandy,
The handlebar idea is where I'm going. Handlebars don't look all that different from the moustache bars I see advertised for $100.00 plus online. The seet I intend to use is from a BMX bicycle. It has the crossbar at the top. Windshield mounts might be a bit flimsy. I was thinking u-bolts with stainless backing plate drilled out for the u-bolt. Haven't got the pegs figured out yet, but I'm thinking of going with some after market pegs, or a visit to the MC salvage yard.
