I like the whole appearance. Muscular looking. I think the foot pegs look great but I don't think they will be comfortable on a 3 hour or longer ride. Overall you have a great looking ride.

From the last picture, it seems those pegs go about 2 inches further out....must be a guy w/long legs. I have a normal forward control set up, and wish i had a few more inches to stretch out. However, I do agree w/you guys...it doesn't seem as if this positioning will be comfy to use the controls that are in place...i would think you would need controls that were extended to match the pegs...

Yeah... kinda looks like the extensions were put on the outside instead of the inside of the controls....

Nice bike though....

the pegs are extended 2 inches i have a 34 inseam. to me it made a world of a diffrece. also shfting and breaking isnt a problem. the top part ssticks out enough you can rest your foot there if you want.
also the kit is adjustable up to 360 degrees so you can have them anywhere.

the air intake system is a arlen ness bg sucker.
