Anything is possible...just have to have a bracket made...they put a custom bracket to hold that exhaust on anyways.

I might be wrong because I can only see that one angle in the pic, but you might want to rethink that bracket design on the exaust. The way it looks now it appears your pipe would have some movement in it due to the fact its hooked to the shock. They do move up and down. If you'll shoot me an pm with your e-mail address I'll send you a picture of my bike and the bracket set up on it. I have a 74 model 750 with a simular pipe. I can't figure out the photo bucket thing yet to post pics on here.

I don't think that's the stock bracket  ;D but it is the way the stocker is installed. No movement since it's bolted to the top of the shock which is bolted to the frame which... doesn't move.



I was thinking the same thing about the peg. I don't see a way to make it happen without making it come up an inch or so to clear the can. Maybe some frame clamps would do the trick?


There are some folks here on the board though that have used the passenger peg hole to attach a bracket they welded on. Pretty slick. This one is just attached at the stock mounting points.

The backet in that last photo looks like it would still block the peg mounting hole?

My girlfriend is pretty short so maybe a clamp would work? Can you toss out a link of what you had in mind?

There's a bunch of them. Dennis Kirk has a good selection.

Awesome, thanks Iggy! I kind of wanted to keep my "custom" mount for the pipe, I work in IT managing servers/storage so the rack mounting rail the PO used kind of suites me. I'll go with brackets.

Here is how my passenger pegs fit with the Kerker on my 76 750F. The bracket is exactly 12inches bolt center to bolt center.
