Installing Passenger Footpegs on Sportster Iron 1200 (REMOVING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM)

Описание: This is my How-to for installing passenger pegs on a Sportster Iron 1200. I read other youtubers who said they could do it without removing the pipes. I didn't like what I saw. For me, removing the pipes is no big deal. So here's THE VERSION WHERE YOU REMOVE THE EXHAUST.

It also includes my left turn when the bolts I needed were missing and/or the bolt holes were the wrong size/pitch and having to install helicoils.

Note: after some more searching on Ebay, I see that some of these kits show compatibility with Sportsters through 2021, which is the year of my bike. Maybe these will provide the right sized bolts. My kit showed compatibility through 2020, and that may have been my problem. Search for Rear Passenger Foot Pegs Mount Kit Fit For Harley Sportster XL 883 1200

If you check the bolt holes that secure the brake reservoir to the bracket, and they don't fit, you'll need a helicoil kit to fit the 5/16"-18 bolts on your sportster.

You'll also need a 21/64" drill bit.
