'82 & '83 1100E footrest plates and pegs

[Guest]

I've noticed that among other small changes between the '82 and '83 1100e models, the '83 has a cut out in the middle of the footrest pegs, and much slimmer looking foot pegs. I've also noticed that they mount differently, and in a slightly different position on the bike, does anyone know if these are interchangable?

It also appears that the '82 footrest plates use the swingarm bolt as a point of attachment, while the '83 does not. It seems to me that the '82 swingarm bolt would be too long if the footrest was removed. Bikebandit reveals that there are indeed two different part numbers for '82 and '83 swingarm bolts.

Has anyone done the swap to '83 footrest plates and pegs on an '82? Am I on the right track with the need for the shorter swingarm bolt?

The rears can be swapped but will take some work. You do need the short swinger bolt from the 83. Also have to make spacers for the front mounting location of the driver pegs.
