I answered that classified when it posted, but he never replied. Do you have any idea who manufactured the kit? Was it his own design?
Jack
Did you send him a PM? I believe the design was a collaboration between Boogieman and Dwight, but Boogieman was the manufacturer.
Yep, Jack. about 4 or 5 years ago I designed and built a set of brackets out of 3/4 inch steel, which the rear of bolted into the bottom frame rails where you'd bolt the center-stand(not available from Triumph at the time, but now there's an aftermarket center-stand available)
They then rested upon the frame rails and extended forward where they kick up, and then I bolted a Kuriyakin foot peg out from there. The pegs allow you to put your feet directly under you, so as you said, you can stand up while riding around.
Boogieman asked to make and sell them, and I know he made about 10 sets of them, but only sold about half that many. And I remember just before he closed up shop for good a while back he stated he still had a few of them and was selling them at about half of his original price of about $300 or so, which seemed kind'a high in price, of course, but at $150 I thought was a pretty good deal.
Right after I made the initial set, I posted pictures of them around here and held up a tape measure to them in those pics so anybody who'd like to make a set could. But unfortuantely I can't seem find this old thread for you, that is if you would have been interested in making your own set.
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)
