decided to just spray it up with some black paint. maybe make them look better later…but for right now, here they are.

looks great! the good thing about those areas is that your legs don't really make contact with it. the battery cover on the other hand, my leg rubbed that up.

Hey, too little too late, but I noticed in this pic you pegs are sorta drooping down...where the outside of the peg is lower than the inside.

The little allen screw adjusts this lateral angle...some guys like them straight out...level....I like to have mine adjusted so that the outside of the peg sits about 1/2" higher than the inside. This give quite a bit more lean angle before touching down.

That said, I have scraped every peg and floorboard on every bike I have ever had. lol

btw, bad-*** looking bike you got!!!

Got two coats on the body already. Will put a couple more coats on and see how it holds up.

Not often, I do have a cover on it, wonder if the wind pounding the cover will cause damage. Only one way to wind out, I guess I have a weekend project now.
