Default She's Complete

Had to switch from the V&H Grenades (already sold) to the Big Radius. Grenades do not allow for passenger pegs and V&H are not making a relocation kit.

Only one thing left to do. Le Pera Bare Bones seat....

You should say "she is complete until the next paycheck comes"

Nice job by the way! I noticed that extra long right front peg. It looks very nice but was wondering if it affects lean ability (as in scrapes often).

Nice. Yeah I'm done too, except for the big box of parts I have waiting to be installed and the new set of handlebars I'm going to order. It's a sickness.

Thanks! It is indeed a longer footpeg so I am more cautious on turns so I don't start scraping the pegs. Have yet to actually scrape it.

The pegs are from Avon Grips and the clevis on sportster are weird and wont accept pegs from the aftermarket.

You'll need this part if you do want to install non-Harley pegs - Drag Specialties Offset Clevis Footpeg Conversion Kit For Harley Sportster C/V/X 2011-2016

Hmm .... I am happy with my mini-floorboards but was wondering about your foot peg as I hadn't seen anything like that before. It does look good though..

Specifically they are called Avon Grips Air Cushion Anodized Rival. I have the matching hand grips as well and they are much bigger and beefier than the Harley grips, Roland Sands, etc.
