Looks great! I've been thinking about that same set for mine. I think you just convinced me!

Just curious, you said the shifter pegs were hard to remove, jsut take a pair of vice grips and turn them puppies, the stock brake pad comes off with lots of yanking.
Ye, thats how the brake pad came off... the pegs come off easily, but the new ones go on with a threaded bolt and I wanted to adjust the heel shifter down a bit. It was removing the shift levers that was the tough part. To remove those I had to remove the floorboard. Everything was torqued down super tight.

Looks good. I like 'em better than in the catalog. I'm still trying to decide which "collection" to do my boards, brake and shifter pedals in. Was thinking about going with the Streamliner like my old SG had but that would mean buying new pans for the floorboards. I was also liking the Centerline collection but the same thing applies there. They sure don't make it cheap for us do they???

Looks good tizone. I put that same floorboard/shifter peg combination on my RKC and have been very pleased with it. (gotta take some new pics)

I've got the same setup on my bike and they really do look better on the bike than in the catalog. Keep an accessory catalog near your bed and poke through it for an hour each night before you go to sleep. You'll feel better knowing there are soooo many things to spend your hard earned money on.

I spend to much time on this forum and looking for parts, as it is (according to the wife). If I kept the p & A catalog next to the bed, I might be sleeping on the couch. LOL The wife has started calling the bike and this computer the second and thrid wives. LOL
