Are those floor boards designed to sit lower than the pegs?

I think they should sit around the same height.

Dunno if this is pertinent for the board mount but I switched out my pegs for a chrome set and noticed, when I did, that the OEM pegs have a built in offset that lowers them. That is to say, the new pegs, being straight, are higher off the deck (not by much tho).

I haven't had stock offset pegs since the day my bike came home.

Coolness man...I'm lookin forward to seeing how they look and handle. You know your stuff so I have no doubt that they will perform well. I'm just interested to see how you like them.

So ive been wanting to do something about the bad "flat" spot in corners with the daymaker. anyone tried these? I know custom dynamics makes some cheaper but i know these would be better.. or brighter..I would put them where the signals are now then do something else with the blinkers,prob the C/D wrap around ones..thoughts?

I can't comment on those HD lights, but I can confirm that the Custom Dynamics lights don't do diddly, as you suspect. I am about to ditch the CD LED's I put in the front of my bike. I'm switching to the Primo LED headlamp with built in signals and an Adjure bucket. The HD front signals are coming off the bike.

Don't get me wrong about the Custom Dynamics stuff. They're LED replacement lights are really very good. I'm definitely keeping my CD LED's in the taillights. They blow incandescent bulbs away, no doubt.


Their white/amber LED's just don't perform well up front as a supplement to the headlight. If I had to do it again and if I was going to keep the factory signals, I'd just get the dual intensity amber lights from CD. Forget about the CD white/amber LED's.

I don't think those white Amber custom dynamic turn signals were ever I teneded to aid in seeing/lighting up the road. They are more of a be seen thing.
