Haven't had any trouble with any pegs I've put on my bike. Direct replacement for the ones I put on.

 

I've got old school pegs on my 48. Grinding the clevis only takes about 5 minutes and your good to go. I ground mine down and powder coated them black to match the mounts. I also cut off the factor brake peg and made my own brass peg to match the rest of the pegs

 

whatever happened to the good ole days? they may be gone but dammit im making new good old days no matter what. I get the rub , its a whole new world.

 

BTW I love the 48 and the nightster . they are actually two of my favorite bikes in the HD stable. Be sure and sit on them both and ride them both if you can find a dealer who will let you. If you don't know which one to buy... get the one that fits the best. Both can be modded out to be very cool . If I had the cash id be happy to buy a 48. Never seen one for rent before but if you can find one that is an option too , might help you figure out which one you want pretty fast.

 

i dunno if its been said already but...pipes. atleast put some different pipes and a stage one kit. the 48 is fairly quiet with stock pipes.

 

I would go nightster. Bigger tank, normal looking front wheel, and better seat make it a winner. However, don't take my word for it go test ride them and decide for yourself.
