All around machine shop slut. I have a lot of hats to choose from. Engineer - Designer - Draftsman - Machinist - Inspector - Floorsweep. The pay sux but I like this job. It's something new every day and never a dull moment!

Sad news indeed. Thanks for posting Rusty. Kelly

These folding pegs came from a bargain bin at a Hardley dealership. The frame mounts were cut and drilled from a piece of stainless sheet by a friend (Thanks Billy!) They are nice for laid back riding. They fold up at the touch of a toe for the twistier stuff too!

Appreciate it. I ran a search before posting but came up dry. The JR Manta XL has potential!
