Just added the Custom Chrome Peg Extenders from Steve at V-Mod.com. I was going to use them with my Kuryakyn Passenger Floor Boards, but they look a little bulky and stuck out a tad to far for my taste. My lady rode with the extenders and boards and thought them comfortable. Because of the 16 Gage pipes the boards are higher than she would like. Using the stock pegs will bring her legs down about 3/4 inch further than the boards (they are thick suckers). She has not tried the pegs yet.
She also complained about sliding forward on the pillion, so put a couple thick washers under the seat where it bolts to the bike. It lifted the front of the pillion about a quarter inch in the front. Will see if she notices any difference.
As for the Muth Signal Mirrors, I found them at a Cycle Barn's Discount store (they bought them off someone). They list for $399.00 from Muth (a rip off), but I picked them up in new condition for $150.00. They are pretty good quality, and work excellent. They have the red LED Arrows in the mirror, and yellow LEDs on the front of the mirror. They could be more stylish, but they have a large mirror surface. Wish they were Convex. Had to mount them on the control handle pivots as the arms are too large for the mirror holes. Used the Joker sleeves adapters. Puts them further out for better vision.
Like I said, not my choice for style, and no way I would have paid list when you can get the more stylish Kuryakyn type described in a previous thread for $87.00. Probably not the quality of these mirrors, however. They would look better on a Dresser, but then my bike is closer to "Bagger/Dresser" than most V-Rods (Daniii's bike and the Cyclevision Road Rod excepted)
