Looks like a nice piece of craftsmanship. I'm thinking saddle bag mount?

Looks more like a passenger foot peg mount to me.  Nice work.  [thumbsup]

JD pro bender or Model 3 ?

Thanks.  Yep, pass. pegs.  I didn't like the stock ones.  I wanted something that matched the bike better.
I think am might change a couple angles.

No bender, all TIG welds and I smoothed out a couple to make it flow nice.

More pics.

Sprayed a little primer to get a better idea of how I like them.

I still need to mount a tab to for the guard, I'll probably make those with carbon fiber instead of using the original ones and plug the holes.

Made one for the other side.  Changed it some, still needs plugs, heel guards and paint on final design.  I'm not totally happy with it, but I still like it better than the aluminum ones.   :-\  Any ideas?

I only run them when I have a passenger, maybe 5% of the time, maybe less.  Meh, maybe painted stockies and call it a day!

How about making the l&r look the same?

That's what I've been looking for!  :-\

I'll definitely make them the same.  I just didn't like the angles of the other side and wanted to start over.  I'm just not that crazy about this one either!  [laugh]

That is awesome.  I'm thinking of making something similar when I buy/build my underbike exhaust so that the right side pass peg doesn't stick out so far.

I think the angled one on the right side looks great!  I also think that the silver swing arm is throwing you off.  Maybe it wants to be painted black as well!
