Altugo,
It looks to me like they bolt straight on to the original floor board mounts a very tidy & neat installation. ( I see o6fastboy has also used those expensive AILERON FOOTPEGS)


Cheers

THATS WHAT I SEE AS WELL

Eagle,

looks like you have scored 10 points for that one! (you deserve a beer or 10)

Thanks Aussie, I have never had the nose cone off yet, but I was under the assumption from reading the install file from Kuryakyn, that there were tabs welded to the frame to which the arms and cross bar attached, obviously this is not the case, this is too easy  if I feel its weak I'm thinkin that one can make up a couple of small adapter plates that would allow you to connect the cross bar under the nose cone and still give you the extra rigidity without having to modify the nose cone.

fastboy thanks for the insight & pics, 
I was wondering how much adjustment is availible, you have them pretty low and close to the board, can they go up a bit higher and more forward for people with long legs.

Thanks for all the help

There is 1 hole on the footboard mount that these Kuryakyn Mark IV's use.The only way to use the center crossmember is to cut through the nose cone.The center crossmember doesn't bolt to anything,it just has two nuts that tighten up snug against the outside arms,they just provide outward pressure against the arms.I'm 5'9 and can just barely reach them,this is as far back as they come,you can go forward some.Also they make a set for taller riders that look like they go forward and up more.Mine could hit on hard cornering.Will get more pics in a couple days,right now it's getting Dyno tuned for the Zipper's cams.All highway pegs seem to have their faults but these look pretty good and made the bike a lot nicer to ride on longer trips

Eagle 1 just saw your floorboard pic with the arrows,these are the holes that Kuryakyn uses on all softails with floorboards.The only difference on the SEFB is the nosecone

06fastboy,
What about the nosecone? did you have to modify yours?

Aussie,  I believe his cone is in tact,   he is not using the crossmember which requires modifying it to pass between the two sides, as long as your not going to stand on them, it seems they would be strong enough.
and like I said above you can probably  make your own crossmember by bending up a long u shaped piece of 1/4" stainless flat stock that could sit just under the nose piece and come up and bolt to both sides for added strength

Here may be the answer!

Check this out at J&P Cycles  http://www.jpcycles.com/productgroup.aspx?GID=7050A0DF-11D8-4D86-98AF-06CB004467E7&search=adjustable%20mustache%20bar&store=Harley&page=1

Adjustable Mustache Bar for 2000-07 Softail® & '91-'07 Dyna® 
 
A cleverly designed clamp system allows the assembly to be adjusted to fit virtually every rider. The clamps can be moved up or down the down tubes and the bar can be rotated to provide fore and aft adjustment. Accepts any male mount pegs.
 
I may not have to cut or chop anything 

I like what I saw today with the Mark IV's, but the jury is still out for me, this adjustable bar still has my attention as well, hopfully we will see it on Full Throttle's bike. I noticed that they sell that at Kuryakyn as well. decisions decisions

The first test I did on the 05 SEFB was without the cross member installed. I don't know about anyone else, but I am on the Hwy Pegs alot and the last thing I wanted was an unstable front end modification. It just doesn't feel right without the cross member installed. Maybe it's just me. IMHO of course.

I just installed Kuryakyn Cruisearm Mark IV's on my SE Fatboy.No mods required on nose cone,I just used flatheaded bolts installed backwardsand leftout the center brace.They look great and are still strong without that bracket.

I got a pair of used mark IV's (7841) extended version on E-bay for $85, not a bad deal even though they were missing some hardware. I wanted to get them up to see what they look like but I only had some hex head bolts to use.

[EAGLE1]

the arms seem quite strong but the bolts stick out alot

[EAGLE1]

and I was wondering if the nose cone would go back on with these bolts

[EAGLE1]

with only one bolt they are able to swivel a little no matter how tight the bolts are

[EAGLE1]

and my suspicions were confirmed, the nose cone will not go on with these hex bolts.

[EAGLE1]

it interferes on both sides and you cannot squeeze it to clear, no way no how
