When he was taking about a Spoon and pin on the grenade I'm assuming he is referring to making the ignition look like a real hand grenade by adding a pin and the small metal piece that pops off when the pin is pulled on a real hand grenade (right before you throw it ).

I think it would be a pretty neat feature to add to that otherwise boring part of the bike.

Default Passenger footpeg mounts - removal

I want to install my verticle LP mount at the left side passenger footpeg in lieu of the axle. On my other bikes that footpeg mount was attached by a large Allen bolt. On my 2014 Breakout it feels like just a hole behind it. I have not grabbed a mirror or anything yet to see what it is, but figured one of you may have a quick tip on what I'm dealing with in order to remove the entire mount. I noticed 24v has his LP mounted there. Thanks guys.

Thank you Alain, I see now. So if you pull the pin, would something happen when the spoon falls......you've got about 10 seconds to find out!

Ride on......

I powder coated them wrinkle black like the motor. I've never heard of the rhino line.
