    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Ok, after I got my stock exhaust off last night prepping for installing my new 4 into 1 today, I noticed that now on the offside of the bike (where there will no longer be a pipe) a huge frame section that now serves no purpose other than holding the passenger peg. I do need to retain those pegs, so I'll want to relocate them somewhere, but that huge triangular frame section has to go. Assuming I'll want to install a new brace of some kind there as well. Anybody done a mod like this? I'll post pictures tomorrow so you can see a little better what I'm talking about.
 
i know what your talking about but ive never seen it removed...

it is useless if you dont want rear pegs..

to make the bike more balanced i would cut both sides off and make custom mounts for both pegs and one for the muffler....

Good thinking on the balance.... my buddy whose garage it is at is a pretty decent welder.... I'm gonna have to think on this. Maybe somebody who has done it will chime in.
 
The later bikes use a cast aluminum plate to hold the pegs. Maybe borrow this concept in some way?
 
I threw around the idea of cutting off the frame pieces that hold that stuff as well.

Would be pretty simple to adapt some e model brackets.
 
i would like to see some custom made aluminum type mounts... but that could be a chore.. lol

they would look way better than the stock bars on there
 
I carved mine off.

Yep, that's the look Beergood. Only thing for me, I have a girlfriend who loves to ride, so I have to retain some kind of a passenger peg. Bigger fish to fry have come up at the moment (new head), but after that gonna look at some mods to get rid of them and make a different mount for pegs.
