Picking up my 2016 C14 today

I have wanted one of these bikes since the original model Concours came out. I now have one, in addition to a Harley and a BMW.

I love that commercial!!!  I have just seen this, so sorry it took so long for a reply. 

Question:  I have a new lower seat from Saddleman on my C14 and I have the highway pegs in hand and the handlebar risers that I hope to install both tomorrow. I had a set of riders peg lowerers from AST that did not work out so I am looking for others.  I was about to order a set of Murph's when I saw mention in a YouTube install video on something or other that he had 'already installed the Buell footpegs...."  The Murph's are $92 and the Buell's on eBay are $49.99.  Can anyone comment on the two.  They both seem to have the same characteristics and do exactly the same thing to the same measurements.  The Murph's require I believe are purely remove - bolt on new - ride, but I seem to have seen mention somewhere of some grinding needed for I think the Buells.  Comments?

I like it too, even though I have no name in the game.

Since I need pegs that make the ground closer, I obviously have no personal experience here, but while you're waiting for someone with experience to show up:

If you use the Buell foot peg, replace the long "feeler" bolt with a very short one-bolt/screw.


I had to grind the top surface to fit.  I used a bolt because the Buell peg hole is larger than my pin.
If you need more leg room add the 2015 Concours Touring Seat.
