Again, this write-up looks awesome! Thanks so much for the walkthrough.

I've got a question though: Wouldn't it be kind of tough to fool around with the passenger foot pegs after it's been set up?

Here's why I ask: I'm sure I will inevitiably have to change my rear tire. I've got a hugger on the backside, and with my particular hugger, its absolutely necessary to take out the left passenger footpeg in order to remove the hugger. If the left passenger footpeg is a pain to remove or cannot be removed, I wouldn't be able to change my tire very easily.

So, for those of you that have done this mod, what does it look like when you unscrew your left passenger footpeg? Does it dangle? Is easily detachable? Is there enough space to take off the footpeg and have enough room to install a new tire without any extra trouble?

Speculations and facts welcome

use a molex plug (see: harness) so you can disconnect the peg when you need to remove it

That's an excellent idea! Did you just pick up a few molex extensions or splitters and use the wiring and plugs? Or was there some special way you did it?

superbrightleds.com has some of hte best leds around. I used them in my show truck, and when I get a bike I am going to use them again. You can get tri color leds, single color, different shapes and everything. They have brightness options and viewing angle options.

Where can you get this type of LED's and is there a certain type, model or part number.

the leds i used were 15000MCD(micro candela power), also 150ohm resistor for each(for 12V) should be able to get them form a electronics store... hope this helps..
