Topic: Passenger pegs relocation

[turkey2143]

So, I was stuck in a rearsets dilemma where:

A. I get rearsets and enjoy all their perks along with the single seater approach
B. Keep the stock pegs and make a longer seat, because I'm still at the prime age for opportunities to give girls with short skirts and long legs rides.

Has anyone ever had rearsets, and then passenger pegs? Is it practical to just mount them a little higher up the frame, kind of like modern sport bikes?

had the same dilemma, i couldn't find a nice cafe seat that would work for 2 up either. ended up getting a second bike a few weeks back for 2 up.

even if you do somehow relocate the passenger pegs, it would not be very comfortable for the girl in the short skirt, or anyone for that matter

You used to be able to by rear pegs that mounted higher up on the triangle an i thought they were more comfortable and gave better clearance. I am going to run rearsets and rear pegs but it will be a while before i have pics, i have to make my own mounts for the rearsets because i don't want them as far back as some have them and i will be useing super bike bars not clip ons. I am going to use FZR400 Yamaha rear pegs, they come with a small triangular mount and i only have to weld 2 small pieces of flat on the frame and drill 2 holes in each to mount them...

I feel the same way, retro, I sit kind of far forward on the seat and have clubmans, so I want them just a few more inches back. How many centimeters from the bottom of the triangle do you plan on having the pegs (x and y coordinates)? I bet my 550 frame is a little smaller than yours though...

keep the rearsets. the girls in short skirts always end up costing you alot more in the long run

I have removed the triangle altogether, which means i have to make a 2 piece mount because i want my rearsets to sit near the swing arm pivot, so i have to make a bracket that i can quickly disassemble to get to the pivot if need be. So the passenger pegs will have to go on the down tube under the shock mounts, if that all makes sense....   If its the misses you plan on carrying around on the back, put her on the rear of the seat and see whats comfortable for her as far as the passenger peg mounts go.
