BTW - I recently acquired a spare RH exhaust hanger so that I can remove the rear pegs.
Carpe Diem!

Suggestion when your paint or powder coat the revised exhaust hanger also do the small disc. On the left side use a couple of rubber plugs to close up the holes or buy a couple of short bolts to chase in the threads.D8A525F3-6970-48F7-8D61-1904246C9BD1.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)61E1A18A-57D8-4434-8EB1-36A3A437DF81.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) |

I’m way ahead on the LHS. SS button heads. Carpe Diem! |

I did get the modified hanger fitted.

You could try taking off the pannier carriers and rear rack. That would shed a few more pounds that wouldn’t make you go any faster either. 😂2BD189F9-C118-4FFE-BEF6-CADE14CB1006.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) |

Zitat von Boxerboy55 im Beitrag #36Apologies if I'm teaching granny to suck eggs, but you realise that as long as the bike still has a pillion seat, it's now an instant MOT failure? KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS |

I don’t mind you teaching granny to suck eggs. I’m well aware of the MOT rules. In fact I know someone who did forget to refit his pillion pegs and copped a FAIL. That’s the whole reason I acquired a spare hanger to chop the footpeg lug off. If I don’t find a suitable “pillion seat hump/store thing” by next summer, I’ll simply pop my pillion pegs back on for the test.
Carpe Diem!

Zitat von Oscarguitar im Beitrag #37 Nah! Critical equipment. The panniers are going back on in a few minutes. I’ve got a Pass Out for Friday night and will be heading North with a favourable weather forecast. Alarm set for 0600h. Hotel in the wilds booked. Hoping for a couple of 300 mile days on some of Scotland’s finest roads. That’s why I (we) ride an RS - it’s a Do It All Bike. Carpe Diem! |

The grab rails do look much better than the top case rack that came on my RS. I removed the rack but can’t quite attach the grab rails I bought from someone who went the other way. Anyone know how to install the grab rails? There might be a small cosmetic gap but I have seen the Puig plastic kit which is pricey and fits very poorly. I know how to remove and reattach the 2-part factory trim that fits alongside the rider and pillion seats, but still can’t find the proper mounting for the grab rails.
Take the red pill and set yourself free.

Zitat von Dfinkelsteinmd im Beitrag #41 You will need to install the grab rails to the same bolt holes where you removed the luggage rack using 4 M8x25 bolts.

Thanks again. This confirms that I have the right parts so only my imagination stands between me and a successful installation. Forgive my sloth, but do the grab rails go on before or after the side trim is re-assembled? It would seem to after, right?
