Mounting Highway Peg Clamps
Any tricks regarding installing the C-clamp highway peg mounts to the engine guard without scratching the heck out of it? I've read one post about using painters tape, but I've also been looking unsuccessfully (online and in parts stores) for rubber spacer strips to separate the metal pieces. I don't baby my bike. I beat the heck out of her, but I just put on a new crashbar. Thoughts?

I suspect that unless you get metal to metal contact, when tightening your pegs up, they won't stay where you put them. Once you are riding there will be occasions when you will push on them, either when stretching, or going over a pothole. By all means use some tape to clamp them in place while deciding where you want them, to minimise damage, but remove it when you are happy.
