There are two hole, probably with plastic plugs in them, around the rear pivot of your sporty. Take the plugs out and bolt on the passenger peg mounts.

Once you get there it will become obvious. I felt the same way when I got ready to put mine one.

Just depends on what the passenger looks like. There are many interesting places for footmounts [sm=escape.gif]

Sorry, since the question has already been answered, I just had to be a smart ***. LOL

ok...holes found guys..haha...thanks

is there a reason why these mounts won't work formy 2008?



when i look online for mounts its says the above ones are for a bikes up to 2003. The 2004-Present mounts (picture below)look totally different. (and are way more expensive) so could i use the above mounts for my bike? has the frame really changed that much where you need different passenger mounts? thanks.
