The Dr. and I are trying to figure out if the included hardware will work if no passenger footpegs are on the bike.

The moco says a spacer kit is needed for stock pegs but not for floorboards, but nothing about if they are not installed at all. The assumption is the spacer kit is not needed. Anyone have these installed that can provide insight?

It should be the same as my 03.
If your not using passenger pegs you don't need the hex spacer. The spacer kicks the pegs out beyond the toolbox, so your passenger can reach them.. You will need some type of bolt to secure the bottom of the tool box if your not using any pegs.

 

Thank you hspring03.

 

The mounting bracket uses three holes - one is to the foot peg. I cut that portion off of the bracket because it would not clear some chrome swing arm pieces. You definitely do not need three mounting points - the bracket is very heavy duty. Without foot pegs, you may want to also consider cutting the lower portion of the bracket off, it will look cleaner.

 

Hey, thanks. Got me thinking I could do that or paint the mount gloss black.

Damn fine ideas in this place.

 

I have the left hand sided one, and I didn't even use the spacer. I just used what came in the original box

Without spacer

 

Where mine bolts on my bike I would have to use a spacer for the bottom anyway even if I didn't have passenger pegs on. 3 points of contact are always better then just 2 IMO.

Also the spacer would help keep the bolt covered (threads) if you have any length to it just cleans it up a bit.
