I have the pegs and love them. The only problem I have is light rust in the corners in the mounting brackets. But they adjust well and feel great

But they don't work on Interstates. I'm not certain I understand that. Look at the mounting on mine and see if you can see where it would conflict with the Interstate.
The only thing I could figure was that if one attempted to rotate them well past ninety degrees they might bump into the pod?

They will work on an I/S if you cut the air scoops off, or remove part of them. I have also seen these on an I/S where they didn't cut into the scoops, just positioned them further back on the angled part of the bar. That's where my Kury pegs are, not the model talked about here, but a Magnum clamp with offset arms and a 1 1/2" extension on the peg. This works for me. Now I do have the set-up talked about on my Std....Very comfy indeed!

Nope, he's talking about the metal "air scoops" on the bottom of the engine guards on the Interstate. I used a cut-off wheel and cut my scoops off. Mounted the highway pegs; they are very sturdy and very comfortable. I like them

I never have figured out the usefulness of that scoop.
I have seen one IS that didn't have the scoop. It didn't look like it had been cut off, so perhaps not all of them had the scoop? Perhaps the person doing the removal did a great job and then re-chromed it afterwards. Anyway, it's one thing to pay attention to if you're looking at buying something to mount to the straight horizontal portion of the engine guard that leads from front to back, rather than mounting to the curved, or left to right portion of the guard.

Definitely like the clocks. Right now I just have a $10.00 cheapo Wally World wristwatch wrapped around the handlebar riser clamp. I figure if someone lifts it they REALLY needed a wristwatch bad!

A VRCC member (don't remember who) makes and sells these on eBay...   There's not one for sale now, I copied these picture location from an eBay completed listing... I like mine, though I see that the set in the completed listing went for $137.50 with 15 bidders... I've never seen a set go (and they're on there regularly) for less than $100. He doesn't seem to set a high price, people seem to like them and bid them up.... When I got mine, I spoke to him in email, he fabricates the aluminum parts and sticks kit watches and thermometers in them. My dials don't have gold rims, bleghhh... -Mike

Give these folks a try. Made in AMERICA (Not Chinese crap) by a ma & pa company. Incredible customer service & 3 year warranty - even if it falls off the bike! http://clocks4bikes.com/handlebar.htmlHere's one of mine

http://clocks4bikes.com/handlebar.html Looks good. From the website: A born tinkerer, self taught machinist, patent holder and avid motorcyclist, Ross Harjes is the founder of Clocks4Bikes and C4BMachine. Ross has endured several careers along the way and has experience in long-haul trucking, publishing and advertising. Looking to make a change to a simpler life, he bought a CNC mill and lathe, put 'em in his barn, taught himself how to use 'em and began making his clocks and thermometers for bikes (since 2001).I'll bet you a quarter that Ross aint milling out watches and thermometers in his barn, he's milling the mounts. I'll bet you a second quarter that the watches and clocks are mass produced in China. Something like this: http://www.klockit.com/depts/LessThan1inch/dept-26.htmlI researched some of this stuff when I started wondering what I'd do if my clock or thermometer went belly-up... I found where to get the ones in my mount (made in USA by a VRCC member) by the gross load... -Mike
