Passenger footpeg install on XL883
Hey everybody,
I recently purchased my first HD, a 2006 Sportster XL883. So far I am really enjoying the bike. I picked up a Sundowner 2up seat and the passenger footpeg kit.
Can anyone confirm whether I need to remove the exhaust in order to install the right side footpeg bracket? The instructions do not mention it, but I cannot tighten the bolt all of the way, because the exhaust is in the way. Any tricks to this?
Thanks a bunch.

Oh, sorry I didn't read the entire post. Still working on the morning caffiene here. I think I must have used a socket and extension in order to get in the tight area to tighten that bolt. I'm certain I didn't do anything with the exhaust when I installed my passenger pegs.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.
Working on this bike brings back memories of working on my old Jeeps! I ended up grabbing the hex head socket with a pair of vice grips from above and tightened it that way.
I'll post some pictures soon.
