Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn’t realised. Anyway I’ll have a look at the angle and when i make the jigs I’ll build that in.

Yep - tacked up then fitted and tested. All went well so the remaining weld completed.
Need to grind & sand the weld areas then fit and weld the pivot block for the gear-shift linkage - then off to the chroming people.
It is nicer to ride - see photos for details.
They made me realise why so many Roadster riders are saying I don't need this.
If you look at the pics, the pegs are directly below the rear corner of the fuel tank - exactly where the stock pegs are on a Roadster.

Really great work Rob !!
Just a suggestion before you send them off to the platers. You could do something similar to what I came up with in 2017 (I cannot believe it was that long ago). Then you can remove the brackets for the switch and the extended nub on the footrest arm.

I know exactly what that is. It's the number "6" I'll take three please.

It has become obvious to me that I need to eliminate the existing switch - so started a new thread
Where did you buy that switch?
Cheers

Glad to be of help. sorry I missed the other thread you started. By the way, if you search "genuine rear brake light switch" you will get better quality devices I think.

That's the same set up as mine Rob any early Honda rear brake light switch works great, I was lucky and had a few given to me, I will see if I have a spare one still as my first switch got melted on the muffler but still works, didn't realize it was sitting on the muffler so have replaced it and should still have one laying around somewhere will let you know.

Thanks for the suggestion - cut that "protrusion off leaving just enough for the brake lever height adjuster.
Next to make a "cliffa-hanger"!

I think I put the dimensions on the original thread. Apart from the ease of fitting the best bit is that the harder you press on the brake lever the tighter the bracket is held. You need to make sure that the opening on hook part continues around so clears the edge of the machined recess in the footrest hangar. (It will become obvious when you look closely at it).
