Hey Puttnut.... Quick question for you..... How did you manage to get your passenger foot pegs off? My bolt is on so tight it keeps snapping my bits...

What has worked for me in the past and I've seen done is putting some heat to the bolt, should help loosen it up.

Putting a flame to it works much better but since I didn't have one I used my heat gun, essentially you just need to loosen up whatever threadlocker is there.

Whoa, what a ride.
Looking back on this thread I had a blast putting this bike together.
Today, it is time to say goodbye.
Today I hand it over to it's new owner and this weekend pick up the last in the state of California, a 2018 115 Anniversary Fat Boy in Legions Blue/Vivid Black.
I had to grab it while i still had the chance.
I will build it with the same theme as my Anniversary Street Glide.
I'll end this thread now and start a new one with the new build.
Ride safe all.........
