I am at 3 and counting.You know what the best thing is about buying a Scrambler?? You get 2 bikes in 1. In just a few short hours, and for a minimal investment, you can convert your Scrambler into a Bolt if you so choose. And you can switch back too of course!!
Awesome!! I actually want to do forward pegs. Can you point me in the right direction??I am at 3 and counting.
I un"bolt"ed it within 3 days of buying it.
I café-d mine with the C spec stuff a week or so ago.
The café makes you think you're riding a "race bike" - except you're still riding a 550lb pig with pretend dirt tars.
SCR has long enough cables and wires to outright go full cruiser with apes and forward pegs. 4 in 1.
This may be the hardest and most $$$ of the bunch.Awesome!! I actually want to do forward pegs. Can you point me in the right direction??
Yup...I've seen all those. and I know it's super expensive to get the pegs and controls...I just asked from srinath's post cause he mentioned it and I was thinking maybe he knows something the rest of us dont?? I've been pricing up parts on ebay, but I still can't get it to fall under 300. lolForward relocation has been discussed here before, not sure if anyone ever actually bought any of the options, but they exist.

@Rokrover found this product (for $180), but of course there's no guarantee that it would work out of the box for an SCR.

The Bolt parts are going to give you the first 4" and would cost under $150 (please don't buy that bent a$$ **** that's on there for $50, that **** is garbage) If you have a local walk-in salvage yard, you may be able to snag one for cheap, there are 10X the R/Base Bolts as the SCR/C and afaik - you're alone in looking for that part - you have a virtual monopoly, you pay what you want to pay, or let it rot on the shelf taking up space (that's your line - to be repeated at will, and we wont say otherwise)Yup...I've seen all those. and I know it's super expensive to get the pegs and controls...I just asked from srinath's post cause he mentioned it and I was thinking maybe he knows something the rest of us dont??

C spec is growing on me. If anything I want to put clip on's and try it - but tail mods first. The C spec tail and a custom tail light etc etc are what the Srinath ordered.Thanks for your input! Good to know I was thinking along the same lines for the most part. I'll explore my options a bit further.
Oooh do you have any tips on the c spec hack? I'm looking into a c spec seat and trying to keep as much other stuff as stock as possible.I am at 3 and counting.

True forward pegs requires stock non C spec bolt footpeg carriers and a kit like a low and mean (which in itself runs like 4-500).
C spec foot peg stuff is same as SCR. Which is why by putting on the C spec clip on's and I got a C spec. I have the seat cowl etc sitting at home. That rear seat clamp off the C I have to fab or buy.
I haven't done this part - but in theory get bolt foot peg carrier assy (gear shift, brake lever etc included) and you can move the pegs to the "bolt" position. That's only 1/2 forward IMHO. The non C spec gear mechanism is completely different from the SCR/C. The peg, the linkage etc etc all different.
Then follow the low mean video, buy the parts and do that for true forward pegs.
The bike turns into a C spec easy IMHO.
The SCR actually turns into a ape hanger/high drag bars easier than R spec or C spec cos its got the longest wires and cables. Just make sure you get 7/8 bars in the apes.
The forward peg situation is the hardest to deal with on this bike. Its what they do in that low-mean video+sourcing the correct R/Base bolt parts (which really are pretty abundant cos they made 10X those even compared C+SCR), but you gotta go get them.
However I think the bike is very very cool as a bolt with SCR handlebar. That setup IMHO is hard to beat.
C spec is enjoyable, but it has a bit of a cognitive dissonance. It tells you it can do things that really would end in you falling flat on your a$$.
