I can both understand and agree with you. I wouldn't have started this thread if I didn't.
I just have my own personal ideas on how much effort I'm willing to put into something like that.
But that's only me, if iyour trying to go the factory one better and you have the time, talent, and parts in hand.
I say go for it, cause its your bike, and your entitled to do with it as you please.

took a meat thermometer with the long stainless shaft and just stuck it down in the neck wiring portal of the triple tree, leaving
the plastic cover on the shaft - seems to fit snugly, and of course, i polished it first...
...when my boyeez is feelin' frozen, i get curious as to just how cold it really is! last sat. Morning it wasn't
even that bad (38) and we were freezing after a late start...had digested our breakfast. Once fed, were warm again.

Hey, nice job, dawg. Now put some acorn nuts on the backside - devil in the details, ya know?
Ace Hardware carries a good selection, including Stainless, which will polish out like chrome, but not rust on ya.
I'd go with allen heads for the bottom two.

Hi everyone. This is my first post here and wanted to tell ya about a mod I have done on my Heritage. I have added the Harley passanger foot boards for my girl and she loves them but complained that they were to low and on long rides the backs of her legs hurt. Kuryakyn makes foot boards with an adjustable peg to raise your feet and change positions but not for the softail so I decided to make something similar. If you notice on the Harley passanger footboard, after you put the footboard on the hex shaped peg and put the bolt through to secure it, there is a 3/8" space of unused hex peg on the inside. There was my mount point. I took a piece of 3/8"X2" flat bar. Cut the hex shape out to fit the peg and drilled and tapped for a 1/4" set screw on the bottom to tighten it up on the peg. Had to do a couple of bends to bring it in about an inch so the foot peg wasn't sticking out to far. I used the old passanger foot pegs I took off. Ended up raising her feet about 4". Takes a few on and offs to get what you want but they turned out awesome and my girl uses them more than the boards. I will send some pics.
