Testarossa's 78 KZ1000 Fighter Build

That's why I asked. It looks like the later generation brackets are longer, and it would seem longer is better for comfort sake. I appreciate you taking a look for me. Otherwise, I have to be "that weirdo" with a tape measure at the dealership sizing up some of the newer sport bikes

Ok Adam, got your specs on those passenger pegs. The first generation mounts are 5 1/2" from the centerline of the mounting holes to the center of the footpeg, and they are offset from the sub-frame by 3 1/4". The second gen mounts are 7" long and 4" offset. Also, the second gen mounts are attached to tabs that are vertical and the first gen are angled tabs coming off the sub-frame. These pics should help explain what I mean. First gen is the one attached to the bike and second gen is the one I'm holding.

Passenger pegs? I cut mine off. sheesh! what's next, gonna buy a Goldwing? :blink: :side:

That's the single guy in you talking.

Awesome Josh, thanks! The little woman has been telling me every few days how nice it would be if the Kz was back together so e could go on rides. If I didn't put passenger pegs on, it wouldn't take long for me to be signing my divorce papers :whistle: :laugh:

my girlfriend doesn't want to ride anyway. which is fine with me 'cause it would just slow me down!

when I was putting my bike together I asked the wife if she would ride with me. we used to ride when I had a harley a few years ago but, hasnt ridden since.so, I didnt put passenger pegs on it.the first time she looks at the completed bike she says where are my pegs?WTF I cant win.she hasnt asked again and pegs are still not on the bike.

I'm in the same boat as Nelson, the gf wont go near a bike in any case, so I'm safe. There's always those few girls who ask to be taken out though, I may have to put on a set.

Hell, my bike is how I hooked my wife :woohoo: She was more than willing to go to lunch on the back of my bike

The fact that Brandy rides and so does her father was a big attraction to me back in the day. Birds of a feather....

I like the passenger peg thing, I have been struggling to figure out where to accomidate these, as My lovely Wife, is looking forward to riding with me as much as I am looking forward to riding.

We have been together over 20 years, she goes to the races with me and really enjoys the whole sportbike culture.

Keep us posted!!

Hopefully I'll get to mounting those pegs soon. I had lost the desire to fabricate any more for a while now. A side project has got my juices flowing again. I started to build an easily removable kayak rack for my new pickup, and once I'm done with that I'll tackle the footpegs.
