exhaust/pass. peg kit help...

[NOLA_BigDog]

I am trying to find a passenger peg kit for my 05 ridgeback .... i finally found one and the shop that i was going to buy it from said that it wont work with my exhaust ...

anyone know what type of exhaust thats on my bike?? it has no stamp on it...

i need to figure this out so i can call manufacturer to see is they make adaptor or something..

any help?

Sure looks like they would fit to me..

Very doubtful the manufacturer is going to have a adapter for them it looks like its a do it your self deal. there are non specific brands of pipes that will bolt on to our bikes with mods but they will affect the pass peg wishbone. I looked in the J&P catalog and did not see those pipes.

so what you guys think..... should i buy the bracket and get somthing fabbed to fit?? would that cost me an arm and leg? i really want to get that back seat on asap

Dude I think the pass peg kit will bolt right up, I know the way my Ridgeback kit is set up it would.

its the exhaust, the shop insisted that it wouldnt fit....... how to tell for sure?

Look where my pegs are, looks like yours has plenty of room, I can get measurments if you need them.

What you do is buy the passanger peg kit,then order the clevis offset kit from Bigdog if you dont clear as I had the same problem with my K9 worked perfect

I agree with Thumper it looks like it will fit.

The only way to know for sure is to get the passenger peg set and see for yourself. I have a set that should fit. It's for my '05 Pitbull but I think the rigid bikes have the same peg configuration. We could meet up on the northshore somewhere and slide them in place so you would know for sure.

First, I would just double check and make sure that our 2 bikes take the same passenger peg set. If so, then we can meet for a beer and try them on for size.

I got the same problem Nola. Its the curve in the pipe that interferes with the peg itself, not so much with the bracket. I have similiar pipes that are Hookers. Didnt realize they would block me from using my pegs. I had already lost one peg on my exhaust side so I had used a piece of all thread bent at an angle over the pipe to do me for the mean time. Think I will try Rubwhores suggestion to see what happens.

The pipes are Arlen Ness smoothness I have them on my 05 chopper, and my rear pegs are close but work just fine.
