Added rear peg's to Micron high mounts (with pics)
Well...
I bought Mikstr's Micron's from him after my accident, and installed them in the high mount position with the included brackets... After talking to him about how he solved the rear peg's issues, I debated following his lead, but found an even easier way, and am very happy with it..
I bought these on ebay for $9.99
Then drilled a third whole into the mounting brackets to mount them too... One sides bracket was already drilled, because this is similar to what he did, but his used a rear peg system from another bike.. but I wanted to keep the pegs higher up, and people's feet off my pipes...
Then I mounted them directly to that bracket...
They still fold away very nicely, and I had wifey sit on the back to see how comfortable they where, and she actually like them better than prior bikes.
AND YES.. THE BIKE IS DIRTY, AND YES, I DO NEED TO WASH IT...
All in all, I am very happy with the turnout... and since I was going with everything black and blue anyway, the older style bike rear pegs did not look bad at all.. And of course, the actual pegs can be replaced with any newer, more modern pegs...
The mounts that the pegs mount to are sold individually, but at like $25.00 a set, and without pegs on them.. so an ebay purchase was cheaper...
What ya think?

Looks good. I had the same type of setup on mine . only difference i did was put the peg all the way down where the can meets the bracket. It was pretty close to the factory location and was still comfortable for passenger.
