[QUOTE="graler, post: 1396020, member: 23510"] I have canyon cages on my Gen 2 - front and rear - the rear cages are actually for the Gen 3 bikes (larger tube diameter 1" instead of 3/4"). I have highway pegs on the front - you can find 3/4" clamps at JP Cycles. You can mount them on the vertical bars or the horizontal. Mine are on the vertical - lots of hard parts would touchdown long before these do. The rear bag guards could be a touchdown point - personally i do not lean that far so even a peg scrape is a rare event. Initially i would hit my shins on the front guards. They are very hard and your shin loses the battle every time. I have adjusted my posture and contact is not as frequent now. I used to ride without bags frequently - the rear bag guards make it look really odd with no bags. The bags are on all of the time now. That is actually a benefit - i keep spare gloves and stuff in the bags - there have been a couple of instances now where that came in really handy even on a day ride. Plus the bags aren't hanging around the garage waiting to get kicked as I walk through. Mounting was easy - took a matter of minutes. Joe [/QUOTE]
