All that seems to still exist is Dukabike, though you might find used or new old on fleabay.  Problem there is if you need a replacement part.

Ummm...found these

No first hand knowledge, or second hand.

Those look interesting I like the part about the brake line hose relocation, I guess that wouldn't be that bad I suppose different sets have different fitment requirements while some bolt right up.

Well the DP set got delivered and they look like they might be ok maybe.  I haven't installed them yet but they look like the pegs might ride higher than stock but I'm holding out until they're on the bike.  Missing from the deal are the heel guards which I know I'll need, I'm looking for something 4" on center and flat that will go back far enough to keep my feet off the riser of the high mounts.

I'm going to go through the motions with these and see how they feel but continue to look around for a set.

I just went through the process of upgrading my r/r to a MOSFET kit from roadstercycles after the original killed my battery at about 80 miles from home.  So two months later after the new r/r and battery all seems well with that.

Now I'm having a fluctuating idle and stalling at idle issue I need to sort out.

I'm getting ready to reset the TPS, finding mixed info regarding linear vs. non linear for the TPS.  I'm going to synch the throttle bodies and raise the idle speed up from the 900 RPMS to I'm thinking 1150 or 1200.

Any tips, ideas or suggestions are welcome I've never done either of these three procedures myself on a Duc.  I'm also trying to decide on should I do it or take it somewhere to be done.

Thanks I've read the bike boy stuff printed a lot of it,  read it again.   There's some good applicable data there and I'm also hoping for some 1st hand experience here.

I'm wanting to upgrade the wheels on the foggy and just thought I'd ask for opinions on it from some other foggy owners.
I have a set of red s4 take offs I was thinking I'd PC them black,  I've searched for foggys with red wheels out of curiosity but found none.

What's anyone's thoughts on red vs black?

Thank you

The OE red wheels may fetch good $ to someone.

BST's or RotoBox's if your wallet can afford them.  They already come black.

I think there are a couple Foggy owners here still...

I've had the red wheels for a long time and I'll probably hold onto them for one reason or another.
I want to upgrade the foggy wheels and hold onto the originals but I can't decide on using the red wheels as is or PC them black,  hence the original question.
Thanks for the reply ðŸ'
