82'/83' footpeg swap

[Guest]

I'd like to put 83' footpegs on my 82' 1100ez. Has anyone done this? Will they bolt right up?
I can't find any good pics of how the 83' brackets bolt on, I see the swingarm pivot doesn't go throught the bracket on the 83'.

Any info would help.

Thanks,

Someone here tried this, and as I recall, they do not bolt right up. Use the search feature, and you might find the thread.....I think it was a few years ago. But the short answer is 'no'.

I tried it and they don't bolt up. It may be possible to relocate the welded tabs on the frame but it wasn/t something I wanted to tackle.

Want to buy some 83 foot pegs?

Thanks for the info. The brackets the bike came with were off an earlier GS, the PO milled and drilled to make them fit.
Just another small snag in the GS rebuild project.
