I'm curious about the crash-bar and highway peg option. I've ordered a set of crash bars from Ron Ayers:
Item Description Quantity Price Ext Price 1 08P51-MW3-100 ENGINE GUARD 1 $66.10 I plan to attach some pegs from JC whitney to these, and when I ride for any distance, I'll put my feet on these and push back a little, and stretch out. I'm 5'10" which is not at all tall by any means, but I'm still cramped on the bike. Does anyone have experience with the engine guards from Ron Ayers that I am ordering? Did I buy the right thing? Regarding corbin seats - I read online that their option for the Nighthawk was nice (the "gunfighter and lady" option), and expensive ($329.00), but was also very stiff, so that if you were riding it for any length of time, you'd still be sore.
