Ain't it great to have your opinion validated ? That was for the axle caps , which are finished . I used what I had on hand ... which was most of the rest of the piece of 304 . Did I tell ya I broke two carbon steel 5/16-18 taps and ruined my best TiN one ? Gonna be a-headin' for the supplier friday for some 303 and some 416 . Try 'em both and see which works best for my application . Care fer a frosty cold Coors ?

Btw...isnt 1.00 foot pegs a bit small in diameter? Last set I made up for the XL350 were 1.5 and even they seemed a bit thin under the off road riding boots

Yeah , but Lynn has small feet ... I haven't measured , but you're right ,

1" does seem to be a bit small . What do I know , mine has footboards . She has aftermarket forward controls , and they're different . I'll make sure before I start turning , I hate to do things over . BTW , the rule above is one of my favorites .

I mumbled:

Happens to me all th' time .

Some guys'll do anything to stay out in their shop a little longer...

Let us know, although I'm pretty sure what th' results will be.

Hell yeah, see ya across th' street.
