Featured Rear Pegs Removed.

Very clean.

 

Looks nice, I did the same to mine.
Luckily I had replaced the rear foot pegs, just before I dropped the bike.
The pegs were the only thing that saved the exhausts.

 

Nice touch with the bolts.

 

took my pegs off as well .informed insurance me only no pillon and got a further £50 reduction ..GOOD RESULT

 

You aren't serious now are you?

 

yes mate , informed insurance . NO PILLON PEGS . WILL NOT CARRY A PILLION .. insurance reduced

 

like we do on a regular basis, eh............................

 

wow, thought you were joking there. Its funny how "granular" the insurance companies can be in the UK.
We are slowly getting there tho, this year I had three options that had an impact on the price

* You are the only driver
* You and drivers older than you are allowed/covered.
* All drivers are allowed/covered.

 

I took the rear pegs off and the MOT man said "if you have a dual seat you need pegs otherwise its a fail"
Mind you I don't suppose most on here have bikes old enough to need an MOT? (Hard hat on )

 

That's an interesting one....I took mine off as soon as I got the bike home. Wonder what the rule states if you've got a rear seat cowl...technically it's still a seat designed for two. Think I'll check this out, it's only a 15 minute job to put them back on but f I don't need to.

 

Which pro-bolt parts did you use to bung the holes? Thanks.

 

Great, thanks man!

 

Looks very smart and thanks for the order - made life very simple ordering mine
