Thanks. And yeah, after I posted the pics, I did move the bars so they line up with the forks as I noticed the same the thing you did.

Sounds like my new pipes are a few weeks away!

Looks really nice dude! How are you liking the forward controls vs. the floorboards? That's the next thing I'm considering...

I was partial to the pegs when I got the bones. I kept the floorboards on for about 500 miles before I ordered the pegs, I never had floorboards before and thought I would give them a shot. The day I put them on I knew it was a good solid mod to make. I like the riding position much better with the pegs, I am a scraper so it was nice to loose the floorboards. I got the recommended rocker pegs with the curb finders, but I could have used any pegs I wanted.

If you like pegs I recommend them for the bones. In addtion they compliment my new seat and bars as those both changed my riding position on the bike to a point where it is more comfortable not to ride so flat footed, as was my tendancy with the boards. The seat puts me lower and the bars have me in a more agressive position. (not as straight up and down as with the stock bars),
