Its on the SCSW BOXER from Pipelyne Industries took of the pedal chain and locked the pedals both facing forward using a triangular piece of aluminum billet with a hole drilled thru it and bolted the pedal ring to it!
Way better foot positioning one foot is not always crunched up as i was having foot pain due to Parkinsons disease--now no problem cant pedal but so what theres enough power to do most hills and now i have no problem--i know its not a moped but the police here go easy on us old farts.

How come i no longer can download my pictures it tells me to resize them not sure how ---i took 2 pictures to show you.

My gp 460 is enough not to have to peddle at all.
The local popo will not tolerate non working peddles on a motorized bicycle.
I will not be able to claim the benefits of no license, no registration etc.
I installed the pedals on my shift kit like that by mistake my son called it the power stroke.

Why not just add foot pegs to the frame?

Yes iam looking at a classic 1953 BMW motorcycle thats been in storage for years, if i get that the Morini will be sold- its just that i enjoyed it as a bicycle but then my foot started giving me so much pain i had to reposition the pedals.

Tell me about it old timer, as I sit here full a Naproxen with a cold pack strapped to my back. Gotta cut grass this afternoon, sometimes life's hard but still there's still something to be said for being on the upside of the dirt.

I keep saying that, makes me feel better.

I've been taking Tramadol for the last 3 years. It just got so even looking at a bottle of Ibuprofen or Naproxin made me want to barf. 3 a day at 50 mg each, 1 pill at a time. The Feds want to call it a narcotic but it belongs in the same family as aspirin, an analgesic. I HAD a friend who died of cancer. He didn't like them because they were no fun unlike the Opiates they had him on. He gave me all his Tramadol.

Instead of trying to numb out the pain it's a mind blocker and you don't build up a tolerance for it.

Tramadol (AKA Ultram) does exactly what you want it to do: takes away the pain. I recommend it. Talk to your doctor. There's no reason to live in pain...
