Installing a kicker pedal on the XS650

I picked up a Skeleton Kicker Pedal from Lowbrow Customs not to long ago.  It's really nice quality.  I spent a couple of hours getting it mounted up yesterday and thought I'd share the process.  In photo #1 you can see the stock kicker pedal (bottom) below the one I trimmed up and prepaired for the pedal.  When welding, I decided to use an extra bolt as a thread shield for any welding spatter.  Also I used plenty of anti sieze lubrication as I welded the nut (with bolt threaded to it) to the kicker arm.  I built up a pretty good thick weld around the nut and then filed and grinded it down a little to clean it up.  Once the welded area was cleaned up, I tapped on the bolt with a hammer to test the welds. No problems, now time to paint and mount this up.
