No, lol. I just thought they were the pegs on a sportsbike. Or are they just the adjustable rip off price fancy ones?!?!

Either way, you know what im on about.

You on about the stuff on your rear peg hangers? Brake fluid is pretty good.

I'd just remove the pillion pegs altogether.

Not like you'll ever use them is it?

Tried Autosol? Good for cleaning up metal..... Thumbs Up

Warning!! Having no footrest for a pillion on a bike constructed to carry one is an MOT failure in the UK.
I just had to have one bodged on my GSX70F to get it thro' the test. Luckily the Local Bike Shop (Chells of Stafford) were kind enough to sort an odd old one out of stock for me & did it free of charge. Nice one lads & thanks.

Failure to have only one, not a failure to have none.

No, if a pillion seat is fitted then pillion footrests are mandatory:-

I have also heard that officially this applies if the motorcycle was originally fitted with a pillion seat.

All the best
