Nice looking ride. Glad you found it!

If you're still running the stock shift linkage...carry a couple of zip ties with you.

I found mine loose a couple times. A dab of blue and no more problems. I do keep an old peg in the tool kit just in case someone else needs it.
I did have one of the tips from my exhaust fall off one time. Never went back to find it though. 1am country rode and very foggy no way in hell was I gonna find it that night or ever.

Good old HD reliability. Or is that the soul that everyone brags about?

Really? The OP loses a peg, which more than likely he installed, and you use that as an excuse to bash Harley!? Why are you on this forum?

Been there and done that. It is a strange feeling to suddenly find no peg. And yes used blue loctite on it when I got home.

We all learn the hard way most of the time. Once lost a shifter peg twice in a couple of days finally got out the Loctite and never lost anything since.

Bike that I lost mine on was a BMW. Found if you ride your bike soon or later, something will break or fall off no matter who made it.

Looks like I struck a nerve. Your sense of pride in owning a Harley hurt?

I had a Sportster 883 I bought new in '01 and that thing about vibrated to pieces. I've never had that issue on any of the other bikes I've owned. Which is ironic since one of them is my Deuce.
