If you ever decide to hang your heels over the shifter and rear brake, be sure you have an after market heat shield on the exhaust header. It's a real mess to clean melted boot soles off.

Chy has a set of custom built tuck-away center pegs on his America too so he has another option when two up.




Tuck away center pegs eh?I'm gonna have to look into those.

I usualy just post up on rear pegs and lean forward for a while, which helps to stretch the hips as well.

Not tuck away so much as flip up, but yeah they are nice. I have all the material to make some, just need to do it.

Do you have any photos? I'm very interested in how center pegs might be done.

Footboards enable many more placement options. That alone would probably help.
