Default Pegs?
Has anyone put highway pegs on and decided to keep the mid controls? I like the control of mids but this is not comfortable.

Went to dealership today. Handed over parts list from this thread. Around $700. However they would like to add the primary case from Fat Bob due to hole created by shift shaft. $500. They did suggest leaving the shaft in place to seal hole. How were you able to remove shaft and attached lever (engine side)? Did you remove the primary case? By the way...thank you for pioneering this process.

You can save 500. I used a coach bolt and wrapped it with weatherseal until it was a tight fit in the hole. I removed the shaft through the primary case by disconnecting the link to the gearbox which allows the shifter to rotate forward and give access to the capscrew that holds the rear lever on the shift shaft. Needed 3/8 breaker bar to loosen the 1/4 socket. Capscrew our, shaft pulls out. Stuff any thing in the hole, it won’t leak oil. I’m at work now so if you have more questions I can answer them when I get hone see my original post and photo
