Has anyone relocated their foot pegs whilst retaining the original mount ?

Or does this need cutting off, and the new mounts welding on ?

Either way, photos would be great

Would something like this work?

Assuming my picture loading prowess is good here is a picture of my original footrest before it was modifed and then the other side after being lowered. Also note the modified kickstart to miss the footrest.

 

 

You can't really leave the original mounting bracket as it's a solid lug attached to the frame and will just dig in your foot.

 

Oil Baron's setup with the modded kickstart lever is very clever as lowering and moving back the pegs will usually cause the kickstart to hit that sides peg.

 

I did something similar to mine and it seems the way to do it, but it can make kicking it over a bit of a faff with the lever so far away from the rest of the bike, particularly if you've short fat hairy legs like me!

 

Another, simpler way is to leave the kickstarter alone and just to remove the pegs spring on that side, tighten it's bolt so the peg has a little resistence when folding it up and down. 

Then just flick the peg up out of the way when starting and flick it down again after, you should be ok as they are still folding foot rests.

What did you do to the brake pedal arrangement to suit the new peg location?

Errrr can't remember. It was my mate (on TC as French Mike... credit were its due) that did all the work.

 

I don't think we changed anything on the rear brake and I find it spot on position for my size tens.

 

It looked quite nice before I took it out and got it all muddy...

 

 

thankyou the_oil_baron

You dont have to change anything at the rear brake pedal, when you turn the footpeegs back.
