Wish these worked for R/S models. Nice to see you again Hoggone.
Just convert to C/F peg setup and then you can use one.:p

Seriously though I know I would buy another one if I were doing that swap. Would make life easier and they look and work great.

Yep, Scott's products are top notch. I've installed at least 6 of these and had one of his original prototypes :thumbup: You can see mine here on the right side Jardine control

Thanks Hoggone for offering these again and letting us know. I've been trying to get one of these forever and it always seemed to be out of stock when I visited. Ordered the last one this time I think. Thanks again.

Received mine a few days ago and it is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Thank you for this again. I cannot wait to get this on my bike. I have to rebuild my entire master cyclinder/brake pedal assembly because of a recent lay down. I didn't really budget for this part in the rebuild, but I couldn't pass it up when I saw it was available. I figured I might as well build it the way I'd like it from the start if I have to do the work anyway. I can finally mount my Stebel where I want to now too.

Scott, thanks again for a high quality, aesthetically pleasing alternative to the hose and cup.

I'm interested!!

I have one reservoir available from the last three I made if any body's interested in getting one. ;)
Unfortunately, I just dumped the VTX a few hrs ago and the rear brake assembly took the brunt of it. :-(
Do you have any close-up pics of it installed on the VTX that I can check out?


Thanks,
Big John NYC :doorag:

Thanks for replying Jim.
Yeah, I'm a dumb ass.
Dumped the bike pulling in my own driveway.
Front tire slid out as I was turning right.
One minute, I'm looking @ my house while turning right.
Next thing I know, I'm on the ground.
The brake pedal assembly took the hit. Thank God!
I'm trying to locate a replacement OEM set-up & go with Hoggone's set-up.

Sorry to hear - A dam Deer Fly landed on my hand - tried to swat it.
Somehow an ounce of strength left kept the 18' off the ground turning in driveway.
Sure enough - my hand ends up the size of football from the bite.

Thanks' Mostly it was dumb Luck that day at the lake - and just happened to have the better camera gear with that tour -
Somewhat of a canopy of trees - and 50-60Ft up on the edge of steep bank of the lake in the background.

All class five & deep sugar sand for 8 miles oneway into cabin is the pits, and why I almost dumped it swatting deer fly.
About 3 feet away is the wash bucket handy to splash it every trip to the pub.
It's still mostly stock as it sits - other than shocks - windshield - tank-bag.

Still messing with different slip-ons - haven't finalized yet. Could end up modding a set of Rhineharts.
Cobra's are a bit on the loud side, being straight through full length glass packs.
Dialing it in with weld on tips of different length & dia sounds deeper/ much better.

With our first squirt of snow today - guess I can mess around with it a little further.
