Default passenger peg help

Hello Everyone,
I have recently picked up a set of passenger pegs and am trying to make the extention bars which allow mounting around the high mount exhaust.
Can anyone PLEASE post a few pictures of this set up so I can give it a go?
A big thank you in advance!

I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about, but it can't hurt.

Blimey talk about legs akimbo! . Also looks like a lot of potential leverage on the bolts and frame mounts should the passenger put any wieght on the pegs. If you have to do it , it looks like you could lose a couple of inches moving the peg inboard closer to the exhaust can, I'd go for as close as a nats whisker to get that leverage down, note that the mounts will likely flex inboard even then when wieght is applied, and you cant underestimate how much force pillions put through the pegs when the rider is braking.

You might want to contact Maxmoto in the bay area. They are the US distributor for Remus exhausts. I got my set of spacers from them for, IIRC, about $20 or so. It comes as a complete kit with the brackets and the bolts. I was definitely worried about it at first, but I've had mine for a few years and have not had any problems with breaking tabs off or brackets cracking. I did definitely warn my wife to avoid putting much pressure on them before I started using them.

I think there's also either a DP or FBF part that replaces the whole footpeg assembly for the highpipes, but it's a lot more expensive and puts the passenger's legs in a very crouched position as they don't really extend down at all. Really only look to be good if you have a girl who's about 4'7" or shorter.

But if you are handy with a welder and want to try yourself, the spacer bars are 80mm long with the H-bar roughly halfway in between. One thing to note, however, is that the spacer bars are ground at an angle on the end where they connect to the bike. I don't know the exact angle, but it's about 5-10 degrees so that the brackets have a slight upward angle when looked at from the rear of the bike (if that makes any sense). But if the kits are still available and as cheap as I remember them, it's just not worth the time and effort to make them yourself.
