Forward pegs for AltRider bars

[newventurer]

I really miss my forward pegs from my prior bike. I like to stretch out on longer rides. Given the curvature of the AltRider bars I haven't come up with a placement for forward pegs. Any ideas?

Found these, maybe you could make them work ::025:: ::025::

Cracks me up...how does something like that get in your garage and you don't know where they came from? Keep looking

Had 'em on my Versys ::025:: ::025:: ::025::

Incidentally, I really appreciate your complex sense of humor. It seems this forum is generally a pretty tight-assed, humourless, group. Reminds me a great deal of my dear departed maternal grandfather (who I loved dearly in spite of his dour nature) Haarumph!

Have a great one! ::003::

Boys without toys can be a rather grumpy gaggle of glum-face ghouls. I'm always grumpy. I'm even grumpier when I can't ride. It's raining... again. Like that's a surprise. It's Portland. It rains... a lot!

PS: Black's faster! ::26::

Ha! Thanks. I agree sometimes the road rage on the Internet highway makes me a little queezy (sorry don't see an emo for queezy, but would like too, maybe green and almost throwing up). This is supposed to be fun and informative and somehow Mr. Right and Mr. Intolerant always seems to show up and spoil the picnic for everyone. Overall I do find this board to be pretty respectful.

Its raining here today, trying to decide if i want to get out in it and test the traction control. Is that a little like wanting to test the air bag in the car? Hmmmmm. No wonder wife's just shake their heads.

Tight-assed? TIGHT-ASSED ???????? Boy, some nerve .... I looked it up and ....
rigidly self-controlled,inhibited,orconservativeinattitude.

OK, never mind. You nailed me. Sorry. R

<snicker> The social commentary is amusing. ::012::

It's raining here too. 64 degrees at the airport, which means it is snowing on Mt Hood. My wife has already told me to start calling my buddies to see who is willing... Probably none.

I should adjust my throttle bodies and get the FJR ready to sell. I figure I can dump it for something near $6000 with a top case and PIAA driving lights. I guess that is the goal for the next two weeks.

Exactly what I was thinking. Could have used them today.

Those look good and it looks like the mounts provide the extra length needed to clear the bars. I appreciate the post.

ya think? Yeah, at times I'd have to agree with you, but then some of that is normal until everyone gets to know eachother better.

Well, I won't comment any further ..... other than to say that I just cracked a dozen walnuts without the benefit of mechanical devices. RR

Rem, THAT presents a picture I'd really rather not visualize, I'll never be able to look at a walnut in the same way again!! ???

Fact is, boys, I wasn't trying to be disrespectful at all. I usually relate my feelings bluntly via a pretty poor means, and often am unsuccessful, and even more often misunderstood.

+1 on Rod's comment. We should be able to loosen up a bit more after being around each other for over a year. Ya think? ::003::

Do it! I was given my first opportunity on US 34 here in the mountains...downhill.....and was pleasantly surprised (after being a bit tense). I'd have chosen a flat test site if I'd had the choice, but the downpour snuck up on me. The bike was superb, the TC worked perfectly and the ABS even better after coming up on cars who were much more tentative than I. :

Thanks for clearing that up, Paul. Now at least I can stop trying to prove myself with the walnuts. Boy, is my @$$ sore. But I hear that all the time .... especially when my wife's birthday rolls around. I dunno, man, ten bucks just doesn't go as far as it used to. Lord knows I try ....... R

Looks good, except with my long legs, I want them about a foot lower than where yours are mounted. I have the AltRider bars and was looking at peg mounting locations this weekend. I can't lift my legs up high enough to place my feet on pegs mounted anywhere on the bars without having my knees in my face and leaning way back. If my legs were shorter it still would seem like visiting a GYN for a pelvic exam. Seriously, mounting pegs to the sides of the skid plate would work better for me.

Rem has started a trend toward visual imagery that's just plain wrong, but in fairness I simply MUST ask, are you male or female? And are you bald? Enquiring minds want to know. ::26::

On topic, though, if you needed the pegs a foot lower, you could probably also mount swivel casters on them and not have to put your feet down when you stop at a light. ::025:: ::025:: ::025::
