Hoist, I'm anal as heck so don't take this the wrong way. The bike looks outstanding! Love all the mods. If the flame pegs have flames and rubber on both sides I would suggest you rotate the shift side highway peg and the brake side back foot peg. The shorter flame tip should be towards the back of the bike. If there aren't flames and rubber on both sides, if you switch those two pegs, you would get the same result. I know this because I did the same thing with my flamin' pegs and some other anal dude pointed it out to me.

Once again, I lust after the bike, it looks awesome!

HeHe!!! I wouldn'ta noticed that in a million years!

They're one-sided. I'll take a look a look and see if it can be "fixed"!

I think if you take the shift side highway peg and switch it with the brake side center peg it will work out. Bike will go faster too! Not as fast as a red bike, but faster.

Got that right.

I'm sure there's a warrant out for that .... somewhere ...

Joy's looking good, Man........gotta get some of those nifty CHROME zip-tyes for the bars.  Yes, those are some clean clamps for the pipes.     Har!  spyder

Thanks spyd! I'll think about it. I kinda like the contrast with the black wire harness outside. Easy swapout though!

HeHe!!! Hey, I brought up the 170 lbs of ugly! So don't I know it!

The wires were external stock Neal. I wanted to stay with the 1" bars. Flanders makes em pre-drilled for internal, but I kinda used to my street bikes this way. I always used tie wraps instead of those clips HD uses for the harness.

Don't get carried away with this peg thing bierle! The bike has mid-controls. It's a chrome 1-piece brake lever, not like a forward control setup! No separate brake piece. And I fart in your general direction regarding the color!

Blue isn't fastest either. Black bikes are still the fastest!!!

I'm sure there's a warrant out for that .... somewhere ...

And watch it there Navy boy!

Well mbierle, you were right. I just swapped the L rider peg w/the R Highway peg, and they are all oriented correctly now. They must match the shifter peg, as that's the only one that is in a fixed location, and it determines the orientation of all of the foot pegs. They seem to be made in mirror images, so you can get the same orientation L & R! Good catch mb!

HeHe!!! Hey Tim, no comment on the Apes on an FXR? Hope ya didn't stroke out when ya saw Joy this time around!!!

Hoist!

Now Guys.....you all are my witnesses.....I SAID NOTHING UNTIL ASKED!!!!!!

I knew when I saw you either kissing the board or hitting your head on the board.......that life for "JOY" would be different.....it was at this point, I knew that "JOY" was just going to be different.....(said twice for emphasis)      LAUGHING QUITE HARD.....

 

Let's just say that I love the 10" Wild One Mini Apes On My Road King Classic of which you were a TREMENDOUS help to me with those....THANK YOU!!! providing excellent photos but let's just say THEY WILL NEVER BE APES ON my FXR2.......

But I have to remind myself....that you are riding in NYC and surrounding areas while I get to ride in these lovely canyons in Colorado....putting my FXR2 into nice curves and enjoy the slightly bent forward feel of the flanders bars I have which are a bit wider than "OEM" (doing my best to convince others the "errors" of your ways...lol) giving even more handling performance in those lovely mountain curves.....but I realize when you are screamin at one of them there TAXI'S that are cuttin you off in NYC or surrounding areas that having your hand in the UPPER position on the "JOY" gives you more CHANCE FOR IMMEDIATE REACTION.....lol

Howie, Howie, Howie......I just "KNEW" "JOY'S" days were numbered......

Tim
