The offset was an easy call on my bike. The threads were stripped so I just made a spacer tapped in the middle and welded it to the frame. For the ones I sell I would probably just made a spacer with a thru hole and have all new bolts in the kit. I may be able to make a brake lever too might have to give that a try in the next couple days after I get the peg location on. The factory shifter would be easy to shorten but tough to completely make a new one because of the spline part. It might be pretty cool to have a set of stainless pegs, brake lever and shifter though. The 304 cleans very well with some laquer thinner. I've had these ashtrays for almost a year and the bottom still cleans up and looks brand new.
