the other thing is those real pegs in a wreck could be deadly. in MSF they taught us to always raise the rear pegs when not in use due to the danger. maybe find some stock ones and mount them. the idea of the 'wing' mounts is very different, but as stated above, you'll want to use hard mounts on the frame not the exhausts.

The pegs themselves can be removed with ease, the bracket is threaded, and i can litteraly unscrew the stainless pegs from the ally.

As to the mounting of the bracket.. I'm gona have another look tomorow when its light, see if I can bring the bracket round the pipe again to tie in with the frontsets.

As for the tail chop... gotta respect american plates for being much smaller :P  But it happened to me too.

As for the pegs... seems like you are a creative guy.  Props there.  They don't look bad, craftmanship seems good.  But they are very "big".  Plus mounting anything to the exhaust is no good.  Finally, the flat metal really has no strength to it, you'd need a crese of some kind running the length of the bracket.  Look at some way to build some brackets out of steel tubing if you can weld... could even build clamps that attach to the frame without welding to the frame.

Just came across this company that makes a three point headlight, thought I'd post it for you, though maybe it's not precisely what you're going for.

Sorry I've been dead for the last week or so, money suddenly became an issue and all progress had to stop. I've got a new design for the pegs, and  I've begun re-doing the dash to be more minimalistic.

I'll be back.
