custom kuryakyn highway pegs. whatta ya think ?

[abefroman]

So I thought I had the short arms, so I ordered a set of long arms. they were the same as what I had, but that's ok, because i had planned on using all of them to make a "custom" peg configuration. I just need some bolts and I'm probably gonna weld something together to keep the two arms from rotating.

whatta ya think ???

My first thought was, this is a great idea but needs a chrome acorn nut.

Too many folks are easily fooled by the term stainless, it is NOT an accurate statement

How close is the cam / rocker covers?

Looks great, only thing I'd likely change, is make me a pair of long arms from steel & have chromed (or powder-coated) to eliminate that middle arm joint. Make the long reach in one arm. I'm guessing those arms or extensions are really chrome over a pot like metal, I'd be wondering what with vibrations, weight of lower leg & foot, road bumps, when (not if) the extended arm might fail (break), dropping my foot unexpectedly onto my paint or the roadway?

Oh... I figured as much. I'd be inclined to think in terms of a sudden break of the arm itself nearest the attachment point on the bar. Those arms are castings, with fancy cutout sections. Adding two together makes for a long arm from attachment to foot peg. Add in that he's sitting behind between them, legs out at angles, so over time, vibrations, miles, I think it only a matter of time. I hope it doesn't break on him, but if it does I'll never know it.

Well, I finised fabricating a piece for the middle joint. Gonna take it out for a spin tomorrow. I'll upload pics when I get a chance.
