Going to get these on the bike this week (God willing) but thought I would post a couple pictures along the way. Having installed the 2-1 pipe in Dec, I've been working out the best way to relocate the controls and came up with a couple mounting plates as close to the frame as possible which will have 'busa controls mounted. The original pattern for the mounting plates was more intricate, but the setup costs for the water-jet & mill were too costly. I ended up creating most of the CAD drawing myself in order to reduce costs, so this simplified design made it a little easier on me as well. As a reference, the pegs sit about 4.5" below the swing arm bolt & the new shift lever clears the gear shaft assembly/lever by about 1/2". The toe of the new lever is slightly in front of the gear shaft. I'll put up more pictures when I mount them.    This is a rough mock up while checking fitment. The sprocket cover will cover a portion after some "trimming"

Pretty amazing. Show some pictures with you sitting on it - would be easier to see the proportion and ergonomics in this position!

Trace them??? Hell, I was the one that made the drawings!
These were the first cut, so I had to make a couple alterations when fitting them. I need to make those corrections before more are made. Also, bear in mind, I've fitted a Tec 2-1 pipe, so I am not even sure if the current design will clear the stock pipes.

OK, so I haven't got them completely on yet, but here's where I stand. On both brackets, minor adjustments are still needed to simplify the installation in the future. I made everything fit, but the right peg holes needs to move forward & down about 3/8". On the left bracket, the lower bracket mounting hole & the location of the peg holes need to be lowered about 1/4" to 3/8". Each of these changes are needed so mounting bolts clear the frame without modification. Here's a teaser pic of my fat arse on the peg. I am 6' tall with a 33" inseam. My seat is about 1/2" lower than factory. Will post more as I finish.

Beautiful design and machining here, Kurt!  Ya know, a while back I did something very similar to what you're doing here, and I gotta say having my feet placement underneath me and the controls there like that just feels more natural than having then out there in front, besides the fact that I no longer am having to sit on my tailbone and the subsequent lower back pain which I found often accompanied such a peg location...especially when I'd hit some larger bumps in the road. One question here: I can't quite figure out how or where your brackets attach to the bike. Would you expand upon this for me, please? (...oh, and btw, I like your exhaust system there too...looks like an Arrow 2-into-1...is that correct?)

... Need to bleed the rear brake & re-jet for the new pipe.. Took her for a short spin this eve. Pegs are comfortable & shifting is solid with no play.  Overall, I am very pleased. There is some work to be done before I would offer them to anyone.. Three holes don't give enough room for bolt clearances in the back & trying to use the bolt hole for the brake switch as a mounting point proved pointless. The top bolt on each footpeg intrudes on the frame just below where the swing arm pinch bolts attach. In order to fit these brackets, I had to trim the frame a bit. Nothing major & all excess metal anyway. Regardless, it needs changed. My original plan was to counter-sink the holes that mount the plates to the bike, but I had to cut down on the machine costs. Here it is finished with the modified sprocket cover in place.  Left side.... I tried to give view to put some perspective on the clearance.   Right side.... you can see the three hex bolts behind the master cylinder that bolt thru the frame.

Sorry guys.. Little JR is 11 months old & my job has had me swamped. I'd like to sell a few off for whatever they cost me to get made plus whatever any member would want to pitch in to help me cover paying the CAD guy who set up the program. I figure if 10-12 guys want to get them & they pitched in $15 bucks above whatever they charge me to make them, I'd be happy.. I have $300 bucks tied up in the original set including the CAD work. These are 1/2 alum plate that is cut on a water-jet & only a single copy. Additional sets would cost much less, especially if they were going to make a number of copies. If I could get a head count of who is seriously interested, I'll get a price from them... Selling price would be whatever they charge + shipping + any "donation" to help me feel like I didn't just blow as much money as I did... I would propose I make a couple alterations now that I have installed these. Mostly, they are inconsequential, but would allow some flexibility to anyone choosing different rear-sets to install. 1] I will modify the mounting bolt hole locations. Only two are needed & one bolt head interfered with a peg mount anyway. I originally intended to recess the mounting bolts, but that required additional machine time, & I had to cut costs. 2] Minor change to the area where the rear-sets attach is needed to allow for other pegs & to clearance a piece of the frame just in front of the swing arm. I had to grind a bit away in order to fit one of the bolts. 3] I would recommend that the holes to bolt the rear sets be drilled at the time of install, rather than at the machine shop. Primarily, this would be to allow different donor parts to be used. I trust anyone wanting to do this would be competent enough to get 6 holes in the right place. FYI-- sure, I blew off posting anything here (don't shoot me), but I found time to make mod #3 this year.. http://www.bonnevilleamerica.com/forums/...vc=#Post593254

No offense taken... I've asked myself that for about 4 years now... bottom line: this is paid for & I'd just end up tearing crap off a Bonnie and changing it anyway..
Plus, if I want to ride more "spirited/ retro feel" than the America wants to deliver, I break this out..

I'm wondering if anybody knows whether or not dardoonk has got any further with getting the brackets made. If it would be acceptable with dardoonk i could make the brackets for the people that want them. I certainly don't want to steal his idea, but maybe i could work with him and it would also expand the range of the parts i make. Des, AAMMP

Hey Des, I am wanting to move the footpegs and controls back towards the driver. Do you make a kit like that for the America or know of someone who does? Yes, have already seen the Norman Hyde kit on-line but wanted more of a change from feet-forward cruiser style to a mid-peg style for my 28" inseam legs. Thanks for a reply.

I used the mounts from Des, 2 back and 1 down. They made a big difference, more that you may think. Highly Recommended.

Thanks Ryk. Have tried the Bonneville T-100 and liked it for myself but found it too cramped to be enjoyable for two-up riding for a week or two at a time. Think that if I can modify the America enough it will be comfortable and functional as a light-weight cruiser. So what has been the experience of riders using the Norman Hyde-type mod vs the much greater change to a mid-peg mod? There have got to be a number of riders 5'8" or less with a 28" inseam out there.

Once i have a set of pegs & levers & master cyl. from whichever bike they come from i can "reverse engineer" the adapter brackets that bolt to the frame.
If someone has a drawing i can make them from that too.
I've not heard from the original maker/designer of the brackets.
Do people only want brackets made or are they looking for a complete kit that bolts up straight out of the box? I don't know how much it would cost or what people are willing to pay for this type of modification. Des.

des, i think ideally we'd like to just remove tyhe whole assembkly and bolt it back down in the back. i also think it's not that straight forward.

SteveO, the parts that are in the pictures definitely aren't off an America or a Speedmaster so if people just want to move their own controls further back i could come up with a bracket to do that. Seeing as i have a 2009 Speedmaster i can see what needs to be done.
If other members would give me some idea of what they want i can do it. The gear change mechanism is simple.
The rear brake would need another brake line making. It could be the regular brake line or maybe a Flexible SS hose type. I need input from other members so it's worth the effort. Des.

The controls were off a Suzuki Hayabusa, "'busa controls mounted". There are some really nice after market sport bike controls. I had a set from Vortex on my Ninja... https://www.vortexracing.com/shop/product/17343/1526/As you can see they are adjustable up and down for fine tuning to the riders needs

I'll start on designing brackets next week. Just finishing off a prototype for extending the pegs forward for bikes up to 2011. Left side is done & right side is testing my patience.

Finished the prototype for the FPF (foot peg forward) kit. I'll get them posted on my website with more pictures. These fit America's & Speedmaster up to and including 2010. Price is $149.95 set.

SD, The left side looks fairly straightforward. I haven't removed my chain cover on the right side yet.From what i have seen in other photo's people have had to cut the chain cover to allow the bracket to fit. Of course it all depends on what type of rear set is bought. I was thinking of making brackets for adapting the original/stock levers to fit . All manufacturers have their own dimensions so making a bracket to suit them all would be quite an undertaking. At least with using stock controls (which we all have) makes it a lot easier but who knows yet what may transpire once i get my scheming little brain in action.

I agree stock controls would be best. I was just thinking that the ones in the picture were off a Hayabusa, if that had anything to do with it...For me there is no worries about the change cover I took it off, but when making something like this you need it to fit most bikes...A true mid-peg has been my holy grail search...

This has been driving me crazy...I have been looking at the picture on page 1 and it looks like he drilled and tapped the plate what the swing arm mount to. So the big hole is where the swing arm nut is...

I test rode the Bolt, just for fun, and I would say definitely in the same class as our bikes, and really fun to ride. Yamaha really knocked it out with that bike in my opinion. (except for that ugly exhaust pipe  )

I do apologize to everyone wanting the midsets (at least that's what i call them). There's only one of me and enough work around the house for 10 of me. Plus the WORLD CUP has just begun and it only shows up every 4 years, anyway i'll dedicate some more time to the brackets. I bought some 1/2" thick aluminum a few weeks ago to make them from. Des.

Today i received two emails from Kurt Darden aka dardoonk the original designer of the midsets. He sent me pictures and drawings of the brackets and then he called me on the phone and we talked for 45 minutes. He's given me the ok to use his design and make any modifications that may be needed so people can use their original gearshift and brake assys.
He's had some health issues which he's recovered from and is doing ok now.
We are going on vacation soon and will be fairly close to where he lives in North Carolina so i may get to meet him.
I've offered him my services as a machinist in return for passing the info. onto me. I told him that "if you can dream it, i can probably make it for you".
Just thought i'd pass the info along for people who know him.

It's been a long time, but I am happy to see someone is willing to pickup on my brackets. I've passed along my drawings. I've linked a couple pics below from a weekend at Deal's Gap last month. You'll see mine are set pretty far back, but they could be made a bit more forward, but would need different rear-sets (mine are from a 'busa) and probably set a little farther out. In hard riding, my left tow scrapes if left under the shifter, so my toes are back on the peg in the pic. I had to remove those inch long feeler things too. I can "almost" get to the edge of the tread (Conti RoadAttack 2) I am running right now.

I need to find out the types of finish people would want on the brackets.They will be made from Aluminum with a variety of finishes.
Powder coated ( any color you desire).
Unfinished ( just plain aluminum).
Polished.
Jewelling/engine turned ( overlapping circles).
If any one has any other ideas let me know Des.

Just do them plain aluminium. Black or clear. Usually frames (where they are mounted to) are black...

First off glad to see that you are up and about. Didn't you come up with a front brake bracket that allow you to mount 4 piston bakes?

Yes, I run a Thruxton front rotor & a left 4 pot lifted of a Thunderbird (new one). It clears the front spoke by a little more than a quarter inch.

@duck: Not as I know. There are still no readymades available. Nearest thing are the ones from Norman Hyde and eve they got less and less to sell. Our bike is not in production anymore, so special parts are not produced anymore.
Most of these relocation brackets weren't any real Mid-Pegs, just about 10cm (bout 3inches) closer to the rider.
But it is not so hard to produce one for yourself, you need sheet metal or thick aluminum to produce a plate (fixed mostly to the holes where the passenger foot pegs are mounted) and the place the original footpegs on these plates, finde a long enough linkage or use an exiting one from a donor bike and there you go...
All in all a two-day job if you got some low fabricating skills (including buying the stuff you need).
BUT: Make a cardboard mock-up first, measure twice before fabricating and make REALLY sure that the Plates are strong enough. Otherwise you shifter gear will break down and baddest thing: YOUR BRAKE WILL FALL OF!
So beware if you foo this by yur own - get some help by someone who knows what to do if you do not feel good about it.

Resurrecting the thread, I'm looking to add an extra set of pegs at the mid point. " not relocating the entire brake and gear shifter"
Just a second set to take some pressure off the tail bone. I believe Chy and a few others have this set up. Anyone one have any information on this mod? Pictures, and old set of brackets laying around your parts bin maybe?

Just came upon this thread and need to let everyone know that i never got around to making the "mid mount" brackets that i said i would.
My wife died in January this year and i have just fell apart, so much that when i told my son in law to move out of my house due to him verbally abusing me that i snapped, the situation turned VERY ugly and this time last week i was put in jail. Bailed out after 3 days but have been charged with two Felony's and two Misdemeanors. I have retained an attorney that is confident that he can keep me out of prison.
Can't say any more on the issue but obviously i am not able to proceed forward and make them.

did you ever find something to hang some pegs off of ? I have a pair of New Bonneville peg relocators for the passenger that might work for you they came from my 07 Speedmaster.
