Thanks

I didn't need a relocation kit for mine, but fit one anyway for my wife's short stature. Kuryakyn makes "under seat passenger peg mounts" that bolt right to your rear fender struts. Works like a charm. They're about 80 bucks on Amazon.

i showed the Kuryakyn ones to my wife, she didn't how high up they were, really just looking to get them up a few inches off the pipe.

The pegs themselves sit about dead center on my oil tank on my breakout. About 3 inches directly below the front strut bolt.

Here's a pic of mine

those don't interfere with you when you put your feet down?

I didn't see the response to this until just now, but wanted to respond. No issue for me. They can adjust so they point back toward the passenger (rather than going straight up or down). On my bike, my feet sit on the ground toward the front of the exhaust (more or less). So far no issues. Also those are new for me this season and my wife so far has been WAY more happier with the riding position. With those she finds herself adjusting herself less and she feels less of a need to be pushed up on me when we ride. Honestly they are a phenomenal location for passenger pegs.

My pipes and rear pegs are like Matte's - I did buy a set of the VH passenger relocation mounts, but never installed them. they would raise the pegs up about an inch or so. wife has had no issues and pipes have no marks on them, so I saw no need to put them on.

I installed the RSD ones this weekend I will post a pic when I get home...I'm not to sure about them yet, one thing I'm curious to see is if they slip when someone gets on the back and out weight on them they don't seem to tight on there (mounts to frame) and they are tightened all the way down..lol
