    I have an 04 E-Glide standard and have replaced the stock Shift pegs with Iron Cross/Flames and added Iron Cross/Maltese Cross front axle caps. I am looking to round out the bike by replacing the stock rubber brake pedal.....So far, I have found nothing like break pedal with iron cross/maltese cross. Does anyone know where I may look for something that has already been made/somplace that could assist me with designing/fabricating something?? :confused: ?? Couple of places I have checked with so far have given me NOTHING :( Input greatly appriciated! I can get pics of my shift pegs/axle caps for referance if needed! Thanks

    I replaced my stock brake pedal with the HD Skull logo pedal. I had to cut off the rubber stock pedal in order to install the new one. With your idea of fabrication, it seems you could out out the Maltese Cross shape in the rubber, then adhere a chrome cross in the space. :confused: :rolleyes:

    I don't recall seeing the cross on a brake. These themes are not well rounded or complete. HD only recently came out with a derby cover for their Skull theme. I am debating whether to do the HD Skull or do something else. It is easy to screw up the look of a bike with bad choices. But, bolt on, bolt off....

    I have Maltese Cross mirrors on my bike from Drag Specialties. They look good.

    Yo, down the road,

    I paid $48 for BOTH Maltese Cross mirrors right out of the Drag Specialties catalog. These mirrors look sharp for the money, else they would not be on my bike! The HD brake pedal was a painful $65. Go figure.....

    I may have to check drag specialties and see if they have an online catalog to check those mirrors out!! Good field of view? good look? vibration? The pipes with map have cost me about 8-10mpg gas milage, but still in the area of 35mpg, so better then the car. Germans tend to really turn their head when they hear me comming!! Great feeling. Marginally worried about the German Police.....my pipes don't quite meet their standards for loud.....I am probably double or more!:D Oh well. They look good anyway!! I am still parking in the parking lot (away from the house) and if I come in/go out early or late, I just let idle torque pull me in 2-3 gear to keep them as quiet as possible (don't need the neighbors peeved at me....have to live by them!:rolleyes: ). Got notified of acceptance to a school, so will have 50% chance of being stationed in the USA sometime next year.....25% for Japan and 25% to stay here in Germany. School is only 12 weeks long, so will have to see where the "follow-on" will be. Don't know what the Japan laws are for noise....could be interesting!
