Default pillion peg brackets- keep or angle off?

popped a high level on.

it doesnt use the pillion bracket -

so should I keep it on or angle grind them both off?.



see- it looks a mess.unless I can get a bracket that uses it for the scorpion can strap..


will it hve a neagative effect if I come to sell and no pillion availability?


dont wanna rush and do it cos- i di that with my bungee brackets- then find that the bracket suppied with my high level link pipe actually utilises that bungee bracket- oops..! so had to fashion another one this afto.. .


so- on or off?

anyone converted teit bike completely to a single seater- never ever to return to a pillion possibility.. cos Kim will never pillion again now.

Subframes usually cost under £40 for a straight one, so you can disect one and have a spare...

yea I think off is the way to go..!

so then I could sell my pillion seat- grab rail.. main seat rear footpegs.. etcc too

however- i will wait a while.. banditmania said they are sending me a bracket that fits the rear footprg hangar- but I aint received it yet..


they said they dont do one for the K2 just the K5.. so it may need some adjustment. ??..

You should have gotten one of these with your fitting kit!

I am tempted to take them of.. just wait and see ifI get this bracket from banditmania..

plus?.. I put my tax disc on the left side pillion hangar- where would that go ! ha ha

cant get that pic to load Billy- what is it?.. I am waiting on a hangar that runs from the right pillion peg.. had to make one myself for now- see my undertray thread.

OH I SEE THE PIC NOW BILLY ..
yea thats what I want so I dont wanna hack off the bracket yet eh.. took me yonks to make a hangar and an extension etc too
