You can save yourself $10 by getting the pegs as a package set #N0006.1AD. Also, go to your local machine shop and get a bronze valve guide. There is a common size that will adapt the peg to the bike. It will fit into the peg by heating the peg in the oven and putting the bushing in the freezer for a couple hours. I forget the size of the guide, just take the peg and pin with you, one guide cut in half will work. I did end up slightly enlarging the center of the guide. The easiest way to do this is to put the drill bit in a bench vise and chuck the guide in the drill motor, before you cut it. If you try to do it the normal way, you'll ruin the guide trying to hold it. I believe I paid $32.00 plus tax for the pair at the local HD dealer. I did not have to use an insert bushing. Works great without it.

I put Buell pegs on my '98 over a year ago. They dropped the peg height a full inch. I had to do some minor grinding but, as I recall, it took less than an hour to install both sides. Inexpensive, too. I adjusted the shift lever and heated and bent the brake pedal. I've been very happy with the result.

The clear lights look great on your yellow Viffer. I'm not sure they would look so good on my Red one, though. Anyone have them on their Red VFR?

That's the ugliest rear tire hugger I've ever seen.

I finally got around to installing Tightwad's VFRness on my '98. Wow! What an amazing difference. I went through the recommended test routine, and the readings are exactly as Tightwad said they would be. I have never seen these readings before. Thanks, Tightwad. And for those of you who haven't taken advantage of this modification, do it. Couldn't be easier. :goofy:

Linky=> http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg44/Knife-123/Gauge.png I like the analog look, rather than digital. I recently installed this one (see link above). It's small, back-lit, and the decal is easily removed. I think I paid about $12.00 for it.

Sure glad I got mine before you sold out and retired (temporarily) from making them. I finally had some time tonight to install them on my '98 VFR. With the quality of the product and the excellent instructions, the installation was a piece of cake. They look great! Thanks Darren, and Ken too!!! :goofy:

No one will ever manufacture one that can hold a candle to Radar's. :P

Finally found a few minutes to install the Lobstenders on my '98 VFR, and that's literally how little time it took. I've got the condom style mirrors, so it looks a little odd, but not bad at all from a few feet away. The ability to see so much better what's behind me far outweighs that little negative. Thanks, Lobster, for a great product! :thumbsup:
