For some weird reason the Savage suits me, buckhorn bars and all. It might be good to use them a mile or two when the bones start creaking.

I just ordered forward controls from routy and I want the same setup as arteacher with the Corbin seat also. Hopefully he's watching. I might have to PM him.

Question. Did you put the bolts on toward the motor or away? I tried to install it but somehow one of the metal "U" shaped loops got bent a little when delivered or made. I have to fix it later.

Thanks Kristen.

I put the OE bars on with the threads and nuts toward the front. I'm guessing it was easier that way, but the bolts are pretty much hidden unless you kneel down or lay down and look back at them. I did mine two years ago. The highway pegs are available in any bike shop at nearly any price. JC Whitney, Dennis kirk, Iron pony should give you an idea of what you need on the net. Then you can go to your shop and get what you want. Wink

Gee, I wish I had one of them last week, when I hit that big rock. Where can one get ahold of such a thing? If they are OEM, shouldn't there be one on the bike already? Anyone have a pic?

"engine guard" is more wishful thinking than actual description. Great place to hang pegs, but not a lot of good for protection. But, better than nothing.

Some pics of mine are on this page. Covered wagon shots.

The PO to my bike had one in the box of goodies he had taken off. I put it back on, but was missing the top U-Bolt. Rode it that way for the last 2 years, but I didn't have pegs hanging on it either. The fact that it was missing that bolt bothered me so much that I took it off this last weekend. When I get around to finding a bolt that matches I will probably put it back on.

(BTW, I didn't have instructions when I put mine on, but I put the u portion of the bolts facing forward and the parts with the threads closest to the engine. Made tightening them down a bit of a pickle, but completely do-able) Cheesy
