Title: Looking for rear footrests
Post by: boze on June 06, 2007, 03:03:27 PM
One of my rear footrests rattled off at some point this week....

anyone have a spare set of rear footrests for an sr500? or even just the rear right one?.......

         That might exchange with an XS 400 or XS 650 or XS 750 or XS 850 or XS 1100... Yamaha does that.
Easier to keep the stuff in stock and keeps unit price down. Smart. Look around the same year models. Makes it easier.  Wish they all did it.

If its anything like the xt or sp ones and mounts onto the swing arm, just go to your local backstreet bike shop, I found honda 50 ones did the trick for the least money and they even make aftermarket replacement ones that stay folded up over bumps...

Just leave it off. Its a good excuse to offer lifts to one-legged women.

Ah but Boze has a SWMBO and likes to go on the bike - and I do not think booking her in on the NHS to have a leg cut off will work?
