Is anybody out there with a loopframe that's sporting rear crashbars ALSO carrying a passenger? My Eldo has rear crashbars (which I like and would like to keep) but it has no place to mount rear footpegs. The crashbar lower mount bolts to the two holes on the rear frame loop where the muffler bolts to. If there were no crashbar, a stock footpeg mount would go right on there no problem. However, with the crashbar in place, the footpeg would have to mount WAY forward, just behind the driver footboard, in order for the crashbar not to interfere with the passenger's legs. My wife has been sitting all morning on the back of the Eldo on a temporary rear seat waving her feet in the air trying to find the optimum comfy position, with me sitting in the floor with a footpeg in my hand, trying to figure out where the best place would be to mount it. (On reflection, that's rather a silly paragraph but never mind that). So, the question is, how have you crashbar-equipped loop riders solved the passenger foot location problem? Lannis |
I put on a set of aluminum passenger peg mounts from Moe at Cyclegarden.
They mount on the same holes as the bottom of the crashes, and extend
the pegs forward. Work nice, look nice. Call Moe, I couldn't locate
them on his site. About $80.00 pair (pegs not included).
