6. If Harley hadn't wasted their time

messing with the Buells and instead did something to the Sporty, something like this, then they wouldn't have had to worry about this Indian.

Not talking bad here, but the lack of passenger pegs might be something worth asking about. The reason I say this is because from what the picture shows has me wondering where they could be mounted?

The swing arm pivots right there where the bend is on the upper pipe, and that is already holding the bracket that goes back for the mufflers to bolt into.

The lower rear motor mount is below the lower pipe, just ahead of where the pivot is.

In either of these two places the size, shape and strength of the bracket gets tricky.

So Glassunion, glad you're happy about the bike, and I don't mean to take anything away from you. If its the right one that's a great end to the end of the story. Let me know how it goes.
