wasn't sure if that was your idea or an existing mount. :laugh:
Ive seen lots of them cut off over the years,it was the in thing back in the 70s-80s![;) ;)](/media/kunena/emoticons/11.png)
If you can find a wrecked 77-78 A series frame to get a brake pedal bracket from you can remove the rest of that tube.

You lost me. Yeah, the frame was hacked in the late 70's or early 80's. I have had the bike for 38 years. I assume you are joking about cutting the main frame out. Geesh.

No Im talking about the little stub that's left of the original bracket that your brake pedal mounts to. :laugh:
The 77-78 A series bikes used a stamped foot peg bracket that was was higher up the frame,they used a small bracket welded to bottem cross tube to mount brake pedal to since they didn't have the bracket like all the other 900/1000 bikes used up to 1980,the z1r was different of course.

It was chrome that has been repainted.I will sand it down and redo it. I figured I saved about $550 over a new one so cant complain. I really like my old V&H pipe but had a rotted out Kerker once that sounded pretty sweet so I will give it a try this summer.

Ive never gotten around to trying it ,but I wonder if you couldn't use a stud gun to weld some pins on there .
Them use a torch to warm the pipe up just a little while using a slide hammer to pull on the pins a little at a time.

If I had seen mine in person Kawaholic I would not have bothered. I have about $160 into it which isnt to bad. I fIlled and froze it a few times and hired a guy to braze up cracks that resulted from the freezing. Then I still have a high acquaintance pipe due to the paint. Oh well, it is done with now.
