Here ya go, some pic's of my bars & hiway pegs.
I really like the pegs, they let a big boy like myself stretch out a bit
while keeping my feet near the brake and shifter, I find myself riding
alot with my heal on the board and toes on the pegs...
The 1st 3 pic's with the w-shield are with the stock bars.

Feel free to post any of these pic's..

I am still working on the Solo seat idea around my house.. both my wife and youngest daughter seem opposed to it. Something about how the hell do we go for a ride if you do that? (I try the whole angle of replacing the seat in 2 minutes bit and they are not buying!)
I have the touring pillion that slips right on when the Appalachian Princess wants to ride.

Interesting thought.. (and the wife is looking over my shoulder!)

Do you have any other close up pictures of that seat (either with or without the pillion)?

I would actually really like to run solo most of the time.

Damn that is one good looking bike Gene

I have added hi-way pegs, although I might adjust where they sit on the engine guard (they currently sit pretty high to match the openings in the wind deflector).

So many options.. all it takes is $$$

I noticed the tractor in the pictures.. I drove through some mighty fine farm country on my way to Springfield a while back... that your line of work?

The Appalachian Princess loves the Pillion Pad. Very comfortable. I've done 700 mile days on the solo seat myself.

Yeah, I was kinda thinkin the same thing about your bike..
My line of work..self abuse!
Really though, Paint Repair Fo.Mo.Co. Chicago Assy, is my day job.
I also have a shop at home mainly Jeeps, Lift Kits, Roll Cages, Custom Axles, anything related to off-road upgrades.
Back at http://community.webshots.com/album/550023996USUcSP you may find some of my work.
The tractors are for home use along with side jobs, the older ones are another hobby.
