Salvage yard highway pegs

Man, I love the salvage yard! Cool  Picked these beauties up for $25.



Whipped up a bracket at work, along with mounts for the tubes, which I think may possible be parts from a chain link fence?! Roll Eyes  Anyway, here's pics of all of it.  The best pic of the mounting method itself is also the fuzziest, go figure.  Enjoy! Cool







Oh, and check out my hightech method of levelling the bike! Roll Eyes

Wow, that looks sharp. Thanks for the pics.
I've been surfin' the 'net trying to find an inexpensive way to add highway pegs.
Good luck, be careful, and keep ridin'

Thanks guys!  Apparently there's at least a couple around Portland.  The one I got this from shares a building with another one.  The side I got this from is owned by a H-D dealer, all the stuff that gets taken off bikes at the dealer goes to this shop, some awesome stuff.  The other side I think deals more with imports I think, haven't made it in there yet.  I can see myself spending way too much time and money in both though!

Duuude...I SO wanna know what those "frame brackets" are! Is that a rubber bushing in each one??? Man...those get my noggin' wheels turnin'!
Shocked

Does anyone know for sure what those monsters are or where to get them...?

I've never seen fence brackets with those bushings let alone a small diameter like what fits our frame...

Nice mod John!  
Great mounting job.
(still on my wish list)

I just LOVE these places, look at
all the goodies I found for my bike there:

A pair of nice & shiny footpegs.




A pair of Honda Shadow rear turn signals (mine were in bad shape)


(I wanted all 4 of them but they just had a pair)


Honda Shadow mirrors (nice and solid)


and this I made from an old fuel gauge and a pocket watch

Make it yourself!  (it's easy)

Just order on-line (ebay?) a used fuel gauge from a
kymco or bajaj motorcycle (from india, korea or china,
whatever as long as the case is shinny) or find one
at a motorcycle junk yard, then get a cheapy battery
powered pocket  watch, open the gauge, carefully,
make some room for the watch.

Attach from under, somehow, I drilled a notch and used
a metal bracket and an aggressive metal screw, done.







ebay
http://motors.shop.ebay.com/items/__fuel-gauge?_arm=1&_armi=Motorcycles&_armm...



They also sell these type of watches for your bike, an a different
model (like a large ring) that attaches to your handlebars , but
I like making my own.

Good Luck!

I've never seen fence brackets with those bushings let alone a small diameter like what fits our frame...

I'm just guessing on the fence brackets, they were just in a bin of odds-n-ends in the corner of the shop.  The rubber bushings are just some gasket material (from work also!) that I cut down to fit in there, mostly to keep it from damaging the paint, but it also made everything fit nice and snug!

Nice finds Stimpy, I like the mirrors.  If they don't buzz around as much as ours, I may have to put that on my "wish list" also.

Went for a decent ride up the Gorge this afternoon, had to try out my new mesh jacket.  It was pretty nice, but then it was only 73° out, we'll see how it handles real heat this summer.  Anyway, back to what I was going to say... I had a chance to try out the pegs, not too bad, but I'll need to shim something under them to tip them up a little.  As they sit now, they try and slide my feet off to the outside. Tongue

Stimpy, I am going to make me a clock, I am looking for the parts right now, in fact since you posted about this a couple of weeks ago, when someone asked you about the extra gague on your handlebars.  The trouble is I have too many projects going on as it is!  I jut picked up a brand new hd dyna muffler, I can barely get into my shop and so on and so forth.  Undecided

I got the pegs shimmed, I'll have to take 'em out for a spin tomorrow and see if it helped any.  If it doesn't rain...
Just washed her today, don't want to waste all that work! Grin
Anyway, on to the pics! Cheesy

I was going to thread these holes, to allow adjustability, until I broke my crappity smacking 6-32 tap off in the first one. I just bored out a hole big enough for the screw, and put a nut in for good measure for the spacing.

w/ the pegs:
