Matt Hillyard Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi all, Has anyone done this?? Is it an easy job and does it make the bike look a lot better??? I am thinking of doing this but dont want it to become a hassle when i want to take someone on the back as i dont think the other half will be too chuffed if i have to spend hours doing it to take her out on it!!!! =P Cheers!!!!

chrisw Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hi, I've taken my rear pegs off, and put em back on and took em off ...... see where I'm going ! You need to remove the rider seat to get to the bolts that undo them, the front bolt on each side is slightly fiddly to get to because of the bodywork, however I just took a nic or two from the bodywork (it's hidden unfder the seat anyway) to make removal and refitting a bit quicker/easier. The most fiddly job on mine is having to fit the exhaust strap each time, I plan to add in an thin extra nut that goes between the hanger and the strap so when I remove the hangar it doesn't loosen the strap from the exhaust. Takes about 10 mins to change over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
