Featured Fitted Footpeg Relocation Kit To My Speedmaster…….

Looks a tidy job there pal

 

Looks good, I was thinking of doing the same on mine even thought I don't have the same problem as your good self. Let us know how it rides.

 

Massive difference in pedal positions !!!

 

Hi, like what you've done with the pegs and controls. Can you tell me is it a do at home job or did you need any specific tools. Also what bars did you fit , where did you get them from ? Like you I'm short legged and am buying a bonneville in two weeks, I want the speed master but have reservations about the pegs.

 

That'll be better for your back too!

 

Looks good mate and if it's more comfortable for you = job well done

 

I too, am a 29 inch inside leg but I fitted footboards to my speedster which I think helped. I can see the considerable difference your modification would have made.

 

Thanks for all the info and advice, got two americas and a speed master lined up for test rides next week and have no reservations now so will be buying one of them definitely and doing the same additions as yurself cheers

 

My America has boards fitted if you buy one with pegs and want to compare it to boards you're welcome to have a look. What years are you looking at? They changed a few bits over the years.

Will do scoot, thanks Andy might take you up on that one day soon. The bikes are a 2007 and a 2010 ( narrowed it down to the two, one at Jax in York and the other at rite bike in Bradford ).

 

Is the 2007 carbs or efi? I've had quite a pain getting the efi on my 2011 america to work to my satisfaction. I made a fuss of the wife and took her out for fish and chips tonight and can report that the fueling is much improved with the ttp fuel map and extras. Had to dry the bike before I put it to bed though as it rained on the way home. I think the wife may have got wet as well but I can't be sure as j was busy drying the bike.

Hi all, would like to ask for advice on a different matter if I may, next week I will be buying the America from a 'proper' bike dealer, it will be the first time I have done so and would like to get a bit of advice on what degrees of haggling over the price is acceptable? How much do they expect to be knocked down by or do they even negotiate prices in dealers ? I appreciate there are numerous points one could use in bartering but I'm really looking for an overall 'likely' percentage to knock off the asking price ? I've looked through MCN and auto trader for average prices to compare it too and to be honest I think the price is OK and I'm willing to pay it if I have to get the bike, but it's always good to get something off and I think they allow for that when they set the asking price, I could get the relocating foot peg kit from Norman Hyde if I got £300 off ! It's a 2010, fsh, 4752 miles, aftermarket pipes, sissy and rack, optimiser, asking for £4,895 I'm thinking of offering £4,500 am I'm being unrealistic or is it possible ? Any buying advice will be appreciated thanks

 

Tell them that you want the Norman Hide kit otherwise the deal is off
Be ready to walk out the door !
These people need units out the door no matter how nice they are to you
There's always room for negotiation.......be cool and tell them that you're also looking at a private deal which is a good deal cheaper and
would pay for the kit
Play them cos if you don't they'll play you!!!!
Good luck mate and hopefully you'll get what you're after

I would have went for the speedmaster

Just saying
