Sorry about two new threads in one day. I actually have one more, but want to do some more searches before I post about the third thread.
I removed the driver pegs off the new Phantom and put 1200 Gold Wing pegs on the bike. The way they are made sets the pegs about one inch forward and 3/4 inches down from the stock position. To get this it also moved the pegs outward about an inch and a half. I gained about 2 inches wider area for my feet in the swap.
The brake was just a matter of adjustment and an added bolt-on-pedal that extended the pedal outward to center the new peg.
The shifter was a puzzlement to me for a while. But after looking at it for a while I decided that it could be bent outward to center over the new GW pegs. After bending outward I had to tweak the toe shift part upward to keep in line with the peg. Thanks goodness the shifter is steel and not alum.
I then readjusted the level of the shifter and all works quite well together.
Pictures coming.
I have added a LOT of comfort to my riding pleasure and ease of shifting by doing this.
Sorry for being so long winded but my mod was hard to explain.:knife:
