I had to take the heel raiser footpeg kit back to the dealer this morning. One side looked like the Chinese person polished/buffed the chrome right off the part on the lower front of the foot peg. Now I have a week to wait for a repplacement. While I wait I am going to get some chromed shoulder bolts and replace the shaft/ snap ring ones.

Home Depot had a pair of Channel Locks with different tips. I think it cost $20.00. It has a setting for internal/external.
