Show me your motorcycle!

Que, I am running the same pegs. They are Harley not aftermarket. They are very adjustable for your riding style. They slide up or down on the engine guard for if you like your legs high or low. Then they pivot to move your pegs forward or back. On my link you can see I have mine adjusted slightly forward stretching my legs out where IndyIn has his adjusted back, and you can also adjust what angle the pegs are at for how you like your foot placement on the pegs. I love mine and highly recommend them. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/...580.1073741838.1380526714&type=1&l=991bfa9a33

I've played with mine for a while, but I can't find the comfortable "sweet spot" I had with my '98.

Ride safe, lost a member of my local Christian motorcycle association chapter in Lafayette yesterday. It even had me questioning if I wanted to continue to ride being a father to a young daughter. Got to remember accidents happen in cars also. The guy who passed away I think prayed for me and my family when my daughter was in the hospital at six days old in 2016 at a meeting (whole chapter did later). I was a mess that weekend and going to that meeting helped back then.

Sweeeeet! Ride with the Mindset that every vehicle you encounter on the Roads is trying to run over you. That's worked for me for 53 years on 2 Wheels.

What highway pegs are you running?

Sorry, didn't see your question until now. I have the 360 degree adjustable highway peg - https://www.harley-davidson.com/store/360-adjustable-highway-peg-mount-kit

I'm 6'6" and have a seat that sits me much further back than stock, so I had to play around with the location unit I was happy. If you can, have a buddy help position them while you're sitting on the bike. I personally don't like pegs that stretch my leg all the way out, I just never felt like I could get back to the floor boards fast enough if something popped up unexpectedly.

2011 Kawasaki Vaquero, 1700cc. Bought new in Nov 2011, has about 43k miles now. Check out the windshield if you can zoom in...

Took my bike to be serviced and inspected Wednesday. They called Thursday. Needs new chain and sprockets, front brakes, and rear tire. They won't warranty the tire(again) and was going to run around 800 dollars. Spent 800 on it last year, 200 the year before that. I only paid 1200 for the bike and it is a 97 so I'm selling it back to who I bought it off of to get what I can out of it. With a baby and my wife's work schedule it wasn't easy to get ride time in.

As for the tire, I put two new tires on it, I got a nail in the rear the day I picked it up. Had them put a tube in it, and now somehow chunks of tire is is coming off and separating. Time to get back into Jeep's, at least I can use the all year and is family friendly.

This is why you buy a tool here or there, and do the labor yourself. I've put 1000 in parts into my bike this year alone, that if I'd have paid a shop to do I'd be out about 2500.

FYI that oil tank under your seat will get hot.... mind your goodies.

"Chez nuts roasting on an oil tank"

Only if you pressurize the tank through an engine failure and blow said hot oil out in the general direction of your goodies.
And I know this how....????

And the tools can be used on everything not just the bike. They will eventually make you money if you keep using them.

Stop riding in a thong. Problem solved.

Been riding locally this morning. Swung by the house to grab a bite to eat and take a little break. May head back out for a couple hours, or I may shoot for a little bit. I love Summer weather!

Finished up the paint on the VFR, and got it all together. LOVING this bike in black.

Just put the springer on it, unfortunately it won't work, sits too low and can't make turns.

Too bad because I love the way it looks.

Thanks Doc.
