Thumbs up Pillion pegs & exhaust bracket

Hi,
Fitted pillion peg lowerers/relocation parts. These have lowered and moved the footrest forward about 2" - happy pillion.

Fitted new metzler front tyre :-)

Just done a 450 mile run to Yorkshire and found the collar that holds the exhaust from the collector box has snapped due to rusting. Not a major problem just a slight blow so will sort that this weekend hopefully.

Cheers

Thumbs up Happy pillion

Hi,

With the lowered pegs my passenger is alot happier . Says the 2" makes a big difference to knees and getting on and off. (ready for innuendos).

For £35 a good deal as they are solid billeted ali.

I would think Steve, that another couple of inches would make a huge difference to how quickly your missus wants to get on or off.
