street bob passenger mounts, one off side mount
Does any one know if there local harley dealer has passenger foot peg mounts in stock, im having trouble in the UK trying to get a set, or do you know if there are any after market ones available.
As you can see by the pics i made my own side mount braket, just a plain old bit of steel cut and shaped, along with a lay back mount, and an led light, ( which is useless, i will need to get something stronger in light, maybe an old one from a MG car ? ).
Anyway it mounts onto the bolt for the belt gaurd, and the shape of the bracket stops it form falling bownwards, nice and easy, i know its not the nicest looking one out there, but it is a one off, of sorts.
the wireing was quite easy as well, i just ran it on the inside of the swinging arm then up and along the inside of the fender strut cover and into the back light, there are spare prongs in there, above the the one for the brake light, i put two push connectors on the ends of the wires, and that was that. done.
Hope you can find passenger mounts for me, my old lady will be a happier bunny, the things we guys do for brownie points !!!

i ordered mine from adventure harley davidson. it doesnt take long to get things from the us now. price is good too. usually the dollar price is equal to the pound price (item for ÂŁ100 in uk is $100 if bought from us. )I have bought lots of things from adventure, and never had a problem. they have a 10 to 15% discount day on june 3rd http://www.hmhd.com/webstore/store.asp

I picked up mine at the local dealer,they were in stock when I walked in.
If you get the Harley mounts, the directions say to loosen the adjusters to get slack in the drive belt so you can get the bolt out that is on top of the swingarm and under the drive belt.You don't have to do that.
If you got a quarter inch ratcheting closed end wrench just slip it on the shaft of the torx socket and use it to turn the socket insteat of a regular ratchet wrench.There'll be just enough slack to get the bolt out.
Also the Harley mount has a tab sticking out inside the area that holds the pegs This prevent the pegs from retracting to a full vertical.I went ahead and ground the tab down with a dremel tool so the pegs were more out of the way when not in use.
Good Luck
Tom
