Deep well socket pegs?
Been wondering if some Snap-On deep wells could be tig welded to the swingarm crossbolt to be used as passenger pegs, but I don't have my Nightster yet to check for myself. Has anyone done or considered this?

That's **** man...thanks for the pics. Looks like the swingarm bolt is too close to the belt...??? Any issues with the fully exposed belt and pant legs? Where in that pic are the bolt-on pegs "supposed" to mount?

I've seen sockets used as foot pegs, riser extensions also, foot brake, shift ****..it can be a cool theme...not necessarily comfortable...but can look good.
streefighter06, that is some gnarly work. I like it!
Here is what I am running right now, comfortable and get lots of compliments.

You can position those bolt/clamps anywhere on the swingarm. I had them far back because I run cafe bars. Cost like $10. Never had an issue with the belt or their location.

I also saw another custom at a bike show where they also used a short (like 2 inch) extension welded to the socket to extend the pegs. It looked cool, but not sure how comfortable it would be. Personally, I think it would be slick and your boot would slide off really easy.

I was going to say the same thing (OCC Snap-On bike).
