Does anybody manufacture mid-pegs for the BA? Or has anybody made any home-made ones, and wouldn't mind sharing a picture of them.
I just can't seem to be able to ride more than 50 miles without stopping to rest my a$$. I see a lot of posts on here about the seat being the blame, but I think it’s only half the problem. I think the foot pegs are a bit too forward, and a bit too high.
I like my bike, but I would love it if it was a little more comfortable.
Also, does anybody make a center stand for the BA? It would sure be nice to have a center stand in case of a flat.

Check with boogieman and see what the latest is with the "Touring Pegs". I think he may have(or soon anyway) juuuuuust the fix for ya here.
Cheers,
Dwight
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Thanks Dwight, and Airguy for pointing me to the thread and Boogieman.
Bill from Canada has a good idea there too.

Thanks but not really. I hand-fabbed a couple of brackets to put the passenger pegs as low and far forward as practical with the existing mounts but it's really not good enough. I'm waiting for the real thing.

Drop a line to chy. He made up a simple bracket and now has pegs right under the seat for a standard foot location. very cool and easy setup.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

These are pics of the peg hangers that a welder buddy of mine and I can up with. They worked great on the Noreaster road trip... sweet on those tank to tank runs.
They tuck in very nicely and really aren't that noticeable. I figured on taking them off post rally but I kinda like them now.

They really look great. Ready to produce them or sell the plans?
