Thanks! The guy I bought it from had mid controls installed and put the forward controls on for me for the long ride. He gave me the mid controls too. I’m gonna try reverting back to mid and leave the pegs on forward.

Where did you get the highway leg rests?

I made them. Took a little time, but not to bad. Got the pegs on amazon. Maybe you can find something for forward foot rests First mods

GREAT STUFF! Unfortunately for me, I’m not handy like you. I’ll have to find a “guy”!

Thanks, Rick!

A member here did it this way. Pretty straight forward. Just a piece of flat stock sandwiched behind the controls. If I thought of doing it this way, I probably would have.

I just came in from the garage messing with my "grand tourer" 2024 GT. I'll be sending in the seat in about 10 days to Russel for my 4th day long from them. I did some highway leg rests, and some mid peg leg rests. I got a huge custom size windshield from California Scientific. I'm 6'5" with a long torso, so I'm sure you wont need anything quite so monstrous. I had some space behind the dash after the windshield was in, so I ordered a windshield bag for a Harley road king from Moto pockets. Also made some lower air blocking "wings" for the forks. That helped a lot with wind blowing up my legs up under my chin and in my face.

So, just a bit of FYI, If you try to make a comfortable touring bike, and put on a big windshield, and maybe some fork mounted wind deflectors, and block off all the air like I did, you.ll have a bit of a vacuum behind the shield. It wasn't a problem with the stock exhaust. But after getting rid of the cat box I started smelling quite a bit of exhaust fumes. At first I thought it was the new exhaust "burning off" stuff. But its just the straight "un catted" exhaust fumes coming up into the vacuum of the big shield. So, now I'm experimenting g with letting in just enough air in the right places to keep such a vacuum from forming, while not getting direct air in the face. Does the troubleshooting ever end? ha ha
