I have found. Today I sent the files in a local machine shop and now I am waiting price estimation.
Sweet! Good luck!
I dig it. Would help the knee for sure on long rides.
Would you know off hand if this would work for an '05 Lightning?
If you don't mind, could I use these dimensions and make one for myself. I'm a machinist. I have to see what material I have laying around but I might be able to squeeze out an extra set.
The left bracket should fit any Buell XB. You can check it using the drawing dimensions. The right bracket fits only 2008-2010 Buell XB. Motorcycles older than 2008 including the '05 Lighting have different engine configuration, they have the timing cover instead the oil pump cover, they are different. Maybe it is possible to create foot peg bracket for the timing cover, I don't know. I have 2009 Buell XB 12scg.Originally Posted by wishin4snow
I created the PDF drawings and converted the CAD files to different formats, so you can use them for CNC milling or you can use them for reference and create your own brackets. Here is the link

There are thick and thin versions of the brackets. The thin versions need spacers and screws listed on the first page and less milling work, the thick versions need only screws and more milling work.

While I'm waiting the parts I decided to put the comfort-kit heat shield on the exhaust pipe.

And here is the right side with the paper template
Even with the comfort kit installed it seems like you may still feel some serious heat from the exhaust. Roughly how far away is your foot going to be from the header? It was hard to tell in the drawings without a visual of the foot pegs...
These paper templates are without spacers, there will be space, but I think jeans cloth or ankle boots can touch the heat shield. I would say there will be about 1" between the right leg and the heat shield. But these are foot pegs for highway riding at speed >40 mph, so I think right leg will feel nothing.

I'm really interested to see how these turn out, and am selfishly hoping that I can get my hands on a set...looking good so far!
