thats happened to me before. I took the rear pegs off my bike too. I bought a Harris Exhaust hanger from Kneedraggers and love it. Looks great and I never have any riders so I like the clean look. I don't know if you have a rider but if not the hanger thing is cool. There are pics of my bike under the Profiles and Picture section....Bike Pics 2. Check it out if your interested. I you don't want to go that way let me know and I'll think about letting go of my foot pegs. Never been touched. Still want to know about the neons when you get a chance.
Old enough to know better...young enough not to care.
