Opps! No post.

Opps! No post.

Brother Alan, I just knew we should not have closed down the Tavern together last night! I'm really hung over this morning, how about you?

The Professor is probably a little bleary eyed this morning, as I am. Our Patriots did not finish giving their holiday gift to the Niners till after midnight.

I had all kinds of witty things to reply to the phillips screw post, then I had an "Oh shiny" moment and played around with the Review the complete topic (launches new window) option. By that point my coffee was kicking in and I realized my post was only about half as witty as I thought, so I intended to cancel my post and move along. Dunno what happened but it got posted so I did a post delete. Email needs a retraction option too

Absolutely no need to apologize there ionbeam, I'm still heavily hungover and currently drunk from celebrating San Francisco 49ers victory over your New England Patriots.

I just left this phone message with ahchui-Marcus: The rider's foot peg gap is 13/16" on both the Gen1 and Gen2 and the distance between the foot peg rubber phillips head screws is exactly the same at 1-3/4"; however the Gen1 has a tapered plate on the bottom of the metal footrest itself, whereas on the bottom of the Gen3 casting it is flat.

I recommended since he's going to be at King Richard's Tech Day this Saturday that he compares my illegitimate ******* Son SkootyG's Gen2 foot pegs to Fairlaner's Gen3.

I always took that plate- which I think is just there for extra vibration damping weight- off, because it was just extra weight. IIRC (because the plate is tapered) one screw is longer than the other, so I just bought replacement allen head screws so I didn't have to worry about cheese-metal phillips head screws down the road.

Just added the heel guard to the left hand side of the bike........now at least it kinda matches.

I had a friend ask me if the Wild Bill highway pegs would fit on the 2013? He has a set on his bike and doesn't want to go without.

Anybody know if they interchange?

 

[Fairlaner]

yes they are....

[beemerdons]

Dude, have you purchased an aftermarket windshield yet for your 2013? The stock windscreen on my Naomie Harris is just not cutting it anymore, with these mid 30 degree mornings!

 

[Fairlaner]

No, i like my screen..

Moved mine from my 07 to the 13, in fact the right side mount was a PIA on the 07 because of the fairing -not a problem on the 13.
