thanks guys, the grips are alot better than the diamond black grips I had. These actually have grip.

The Air Ride is night and day to stock suspension. When I'm cruisin down the road at 55+ I have it jacked up. When I'm rollin around town I slam it out and ride it rough. or keep it aired up till I see someone gawkin and I slam it out and watch they're jaw drop.

By the way the pegs are amazing, they're so comfortable. Really beats the hell outa normal style pegs.

Nate, the bike looks SICK! I have the same pegs for my foot clutch and the big one for my bracket pedal with a modified bagger brake pedal lever. It is nice as your feet actually stick to them. I think I might need to upgrade my rips now, well as sonn as my bike get's it's new tranny and is rideable again.

Here is a really bad pic of my pegs. The bike is stuck at the shop in a hospital bed. Ignore the pool of oil under the bike.

.

Not sure man, but I'm guessing not. I have a stock tire on mine and there's somewhere between .5 and .625 of gap on top. I can measure from the fender mounts to the brace if that helps?

No worries..... I saw it was made to clear a 120, but didn't know if a 140 might squeeze...... can you measure width of the opening at the fender mounts? I would have to make (or have some special machinist make) custom mounts for it anyway.......
