hellindustries Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 'Hoy.So. I got a fancy new exhaust which doesn't use the standard mount on the right side, and i'm looking to either get a different footrest mount without the mounting point, or maybe...maybe chop down the existing one.Any suggestions?

Member Contributer Terry Posted November 1, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 1, 2015 I think the simplest solution would be to cut down the existing footrest mount. I doubt you will find anything better that fits the existing subframe and doesn't clash with bodywork and matches the left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted November 1, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 1, 2015 I bought a used 2Bros exhaust, sold as meant for a 5 Gen but was a low mount version. I traded a the mid-pipe of a high mount kit and improvised the installation. I eventually removed the passenger foot pegs on both sides, with the exception of keeping the seat latch portion intact. Here's a pic of what I ended up with on the exhaust side. I used a piece of aluminum "angle iron" as the hanger and used an existing bolt hole that is used to hold an electrical component and I notched the plastic bottom pan. Maybe this will give you some ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellindustries Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 I like that solution to the hanger. The supplied Delkevic hanger is far too short:Did you have to cut the rear panel back at all? Also: Removing the left side? How did you retain the seat locking mechanism?

The supplied Delkevic hanger is far too short: Did you have to cut the rear panel back at all? Also: Removing the left side? How did you retain the seat locking mechanism? I notched the bottom plastic pan just where the hanger came in contact with it. As far as the left side bracket, I found one on eBay that I bought and cut. I wanted to have the ability to restore the bikes ergonomics if needed/wanted, so rather than sacrifice my bracket, I bought one and cut it down. I cut it so that it was flush with the rear fairing so that you couldn't see it. I'll see if I have a pic of it. Here's a pic before I cut the bracket down more. Initially I cut off the "V" shaped part of it, then decided I'd cut it flush as I didn't like the little protrusion you can see in this photo.
