Buell Footpegs

[PEPPERONI BROS.]

After searching through all the available data on footpeg options on this valuable website, [bIG thanks to all the moderators that make it happen!] I decided that the Buell footpeg conversion was the best way to go. Armed with the correct part numbers thoughtfully provided on this site, I bellied up to the local HD parts counter and ordered 'em, as I turned around to leave, I noticed a couple of Buell Ulysses on the sales floor and the nice wide pegs unique to that model. Then I spent about half an hour measuring, looking, & scheming, eventually coming to the conclusion that the beefier Ulysses pegs would be better for my purposes here in the wilds of Mendocino county where I ride on dirt roads from time to time. No 7/16" to 1/4" bushings were available locally, so I purchased some 7/16" round stock and made a couple. The Buell Ulysses pegs are slightly narrower than the S model so they fit with little modification, just trim the back so they lie flat and a little round file work to fit the 7/16" bushing. I'm finding that the brake and shifter require little adjusment, and are easier to use than before. Here are the part numbers in case this sounds like the ticket for anyone else: footpegs N0503.1AK, N0502.1AK, springs: C0249.02A8, C0250.02A8. That's Gina perched on the peg! Have fun, Tom

Its kinda hard to see them in that photo as its a little blurry, they do look to be a wider "perch" though!
