I love my America but at 6'3" and old ( will not say) I get hip and back problems after about an hour on the bike. I am thinking about some small pegs in a more Bonneville position to allow a diferent riding posture.

If I can get these done would anyone be interested? The more participation I get the lower the cost. Initial fabrication cost could then be spread out.

I will have drawings or pictues as soon as I can determine any interest. PM or email me with interest. Thanks.

Somebody has created something like this in the past. It might have been boogieman.


Learning from my mistakes... again and again.

Ask member Dwight.

He made some up that were, well, quite nice! Dwight had also posted a diagram with measurements way back when.

Crazy idea and question on foot pegs

I have sent a message to Dwight and hope that Brent might chime in with an opinion for producing a set.

Rick,

I just installed Brent's new rear peg hangers. When I rode I tried out the rear pegs in their new position and it felt almost like mid controls.

Something to consider.
