Those pegs place the passenger's anatomy in direct contact with the seat. You can guess the rest.

OBGYN is also used to describe the riders position when pegs are placed high on the engine guard.

Getting there.
As far as I'm concerned there is a special place in hell for the engineer that didn't give enough room to put the rear rocker box on easily.
I have to take it off and put it on like a damn jigsaw puzzle!!!
1/4" more room and everything would have been great.

As of 7:20 I am down to the carb.
I forgot how funny looking the CV carb is.

Gonna open it up and clean it soon.
I hope I don't need any more parts.
