Thanks Man =)

 

No problem :thumbup

 

when removing the rear pegs is there any issue with structure or rigidity, due to the piece/crossbar that goes between the passenger pegs along the bottom of the subframe. I thought I read something in regards to it here but cant seem to find it. Had something to the affect that the crossbar(?) and to be re-installed with some spacers? Does this sound right?

 

good question ... I'll try to get answer for you just have to contact my friend at Yamaha Canada.

 

Diel11 posted something a while back about the subframe possibly cracking with the removal of the passenger pegs. I think he chopped his off and re-installed the bracket. See if I can find the post.

 

Use the bracket with chopped passenger pegs ? If the bolts are long enough . Im going to pull mine off today and have a machine shop mill them off . Rizoma has sweet fluid tanks , pricey . http://www.rizoma.com/Prodotti/ProdottiUniversal.cfm?ID_categoria=3&IDSez=1

Who else makes fluid tanks ?

 

Bogie, thanks! This is just what I was lookin for!

link fail!:lol

 

sorry, try this link. I just checked it and it works http://www.msomotorsports.com.au/products/Yamaha-R1-Rear-Peg-Removal-Brackets.html By the way, make sure you have a good hour and a half to fit 'em and get new bolts and nylanuts too, as you'll need them!

 

Homemade. In 07' stock was hangin' off the plastic. Yamaha certainly wasn't too concerned.

 

sorry, pic

 

Look Great man!!!

 

Ok, I removed mine last week there is no way there is a issue with taking the pegs off and the sub-Frame. Yamaha is not stupid.
There is a easy way to mount the brake resv. without the bracket no cost to any one. I'll post pic tomorrow.

 

Thats what I was going with. There's no weight involved so as long as it's out of your way your good. My hanger was made from left over CF from the chain guard. The lower cylendar bolt passes through it and a zip tie is around the top. I reinforced the Carbon works CF healguards with portions of the Woodcrafts as they were a little too flexible when hanging on them. Still wanted the look. Plain sheets of CF are available from different mfgrs. inexspensively and make for great detail, bracket, and reinforcing material.

 

Few Pix.....
Let me know if any one has any Q.....THNX

 

i know this is a little old, but my friend did this to his R1 and went with the Evo-Tech bracket they sell, and just threw a washer in between the bracket and reservoir. Couldn't fine a US website for it, but here it is. Hope this helps people doing this in the future as well.

how do teh rear pegs come off. do i need to take the seat off

 

Seat needs to come off, battery out, battery tray out (pull harness to the side) you will see 4 hex key bolts, take them out, remove brake fluid res for rear brake, rear pegs can now be removed. takes about 2 hours to remove and replace new part. Prick of a job...
