Looks jerry rigged to me...not a fan. Yours are much cleaner looking!

Definitely have to agree with dflack001 on this one. Your setup is much cleaner.

Thanks. I think I'm OK with foot pegs vibration. Today I took a couple hundreds miles trip from Seattle to Mt Rainer and back and my legs feel much better than after my previous long trip experiences.

So here is my touring setup

That's one beautiful bike. You can definitely tell it's well taken care of and one of a kind.

Great job wel done

Why have you changed the belt for a chain?

 

[Gloomshadow]

more power to the ground, easier to change final gear ratios

Why have you changed the belt for a chain?

The chain gives space for the 240mm rear wheel.

Thank you TPEHAK! Lots of great info in this thread. Placement of the pegs on my SCG are perfect for me. Not as much vibration as I thought there would be. As an elderly person the SCG bends my knees pretty tight. This just may be the magic pill I've been craving. Working the 1/4 inch plate is much like hardwood. Thanks again.

Cool! Looks very nice.

I made these Foot Peg Extensions last year for both TT's. They work great and my 69 year old knees can ride long distances. Two or three weeks ago before all the smoke blew in I made a 509.9 mile day run.

Fresh organic celery juice, 16oz , first thing in the AM, don't eat for 20 minutes, fix your knees right up.

Mcdonalds has that fresh celery juice. It is called McNasty. :upset:

O.k. just remember, you were told about it !

I love the idea, but I could've told you that was going to be a high vibe situation from the design mounting the peg mounting plates directly to the engine. That isoplanar engine mounting system is designed to alleviate vibes on the frame and that would be the best structural member to add pegs to, but alas there's not really much that far up front you can mount to since the frame angles up towards the stem. Another issue I'd be concerned with would be the strength of the oil pump cover and primary case cover bosses and bolt diameter not really being up to the task of supporting the weight they might see, but with enough reinforcement, maybe it's not an issue. Sorry, another engineer here; just chiming in candidly.
