Swapped the factory foot pegs for the Fat Bob units for a cleaner look.

i have been looking for nicer looking factory pegs...thank you.

Gripfxbbs.....this is the second pair, 1st set i cut through the fins...teh MASS of the bridge is hollow...This set, i cut down onto the fin, next to the mass and smoothed out, but leaving the height of the mass. now they look like they belong there.

I will say, that does look a lot better and more suited for the engine. Good job

Cleaned up the garage, made sure the external breather was properly secured, and rescheduled the cruise control install due to the snowstorm we got last night
