Make new brackets similar to stock but longer.

Hi

Yes I would but the exhaust is in the way.

It would need to go over it ?

you could make a different exhaust system with mufflers that were parallel to the ground. Then you could make footpegs to suit you.

Hi Mike

 

you lower the footpegs - I can't upload pics as they are too big. If you want them write to guzzimeister@aol.com. I had mine machined from ali bar and they are grossly over engineered, you could easily reduce the thickness along most of the length by half and tidy the corners up a bit. My mate did these so I didn't like to presume on his kindness. The actual pegs I got from M&P, stainless, for a tenner. They use an M10 fine thread but I bastardised a M10 coarse bolt into each one by filing a groove on the latter's thread and using it as a tap - they will not vibrate ogff. At the frame end they are held to the original hangers with M6 bolts as I found the original footrest pivot pins and circlips tended to vibrate loose. Angle of the dangle was about 19 degrees as I remember but measure it from the drawing with a protractor to be sure!!

 

I wouldn't stand on them to get on the bike but they are plenty strong enough once you are on. Mine have done 37K so far without issues.

 

Hope it helps
