We can put to "rest" the strength issue of the Buell pegs once they are modified. I constructed a fixture to mount the peg. I used the same angle as the Busa. I used a hydraulic press to apply pressure to the outer most point of the peg. (the outer tip) The peg broke once the press reached approximately 500 lbs.
The point of this was to ease the "uneasy" thoughts that the peg is weakened after the grinding/polishing mod. As each can see,..........the peg broke no where near the modified area. The upper "ear" of the peg relies on "sheer" strength.
I also have a video of this actual test,............is anyone is interested.
