I hardtailed my bike and am looking at keeping the pegs around the stock location. I'm just not crazy about the forward control look. Has anyone kept the stock peg location after doing a hardtail? Show some pics I need to see the best way to do this. I can see some issues with the pipes, but not sure. Any help would be great!
Thanks!!

we just made some custom foot controls for mine.
just be sure to make one side removable so you can remove the engine if you need to.

i made some mids for mine also. I welded a tab onto the frame near the original peg location and my mids bolt onto that tab. They need to be removable like the other guy said so you can take the engine out (or put it back in!)
