New pegs, new look
04/30/17 at 07:10:22

I've finally chosen to not sink any money into making Thumpy look pretty.
Considering the outside parking a paint job and polishing will be a waste.
I will continue to improve the bike on the functional side though.
To this end I added some better foot pegs.

And decided to apply some stickers to cover over the more troublesome blemishes. In this I chose a fitting theme....

Unfortunately it's paper so I'm going to try putting some clear coat over it so it lasts a little longer.

Thanks. I got these ones but in black, search for them..

You'll need a steel sleeve (2) and bolts from Ace hardware if you have one nearby. The sleeve is 3/8" OD and 1/2" long. I had to grind down the diameter a tiny bit to make them slide into the peg holes. I also grinded about an 1/8" off the end because it was a bit too long.
The allen bolts are #4 X 25mm X 1.0

Oh hey there's another sticker I can get! I'm still waiting on an Alternative Tentacles sticker. I was hoping to find Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine stickers but couldn't find squat.
