Pillion foot pegs

(1/3) > >>

Dave487:
I've started stripping my 400-4 and a few things are already apparent, but the main one at the moment is that mine is an F1 and the pillion foot pegs are attached to the swing arm, the pivots are really badly worn and will need to be re-worked somehow but has anyone modified an F1 to mount the foot pegs on to the frame and if so is there a kit or modification parts available as I thinks it's a bit stupid to have the pillion passengers feet on an unsprung part of bike.

Trigger:
The rear foot pegs on the swing arm identify the 400 as a early one. To move these will not be easy and will de-value your bike, if it is STD.

mike the bike:
The later, F2 frames had frame mounted pillion footrests.   I don't know if anyone's modified an F1 frame but I wouldn't have thought it's too difficult - depending on your or your mate's skills.

+1 Exactly what I was going to say.

I had an interim  model once.  It was F1 styling (i.e Varnish blue tank) but loops for the pillion pegs.
