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 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.

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 bastard 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?

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!

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.
