Pillion foot pegs help please - Jsuddaby - 29-08-12
Hi im getting nonstop earache from the wife about her pillion position and need to get hold of extended footpegs for her. Im about as usefull as a chocolate teapot when it comes to making things so could really do with buying some. I know it's a long shot but if anyone has any lying around or would be willing to make some all expenses paid and labour please let me know and we can sort something out. I have a 1998 fzs 600.

Think the Mk 1.5 (plastic grabrail, 2000? onwards) had lower pillion pegs.
Re: Pillion foot pegs help please - darrsi - 29-08-12
Read the 2000 model very carefully, especially the exhaust part, but it MAY be workable:

Hi
The wife was getting cramp on the pillion.
So I made some Rear Footrest Hangers that moved the footrests forward 50mm and down 50mm
you can get the 30mm x 5mm steel strip 1M long from the larger B&Q's

Thanks for all the help am going to have a crack at yamfazmans approach possibly at the weekend if I get chance really helpful and seems straight forward enough. Thanks again

Hi
Use the Fazer footrest hanger capscrews to hold the new brackets to the bike (heads are thinner see pic's) then std capscrews for the footrest hanger to bracket.
The 8mm bolt goes through the 10mm threaded captive nut on the exhaust can.

Have a look at M&P accessories, they have "vario adjustable footrests" with various length of extensions.

Picking up the bracket parts tomorrow so I'll let you know how it goes thanks for your help hopefully it'll end the earache

I fitted a second hand set from a 2000 model to my sons bike Fazer as his girlfriend was finding it was very cramped on the back. She says it is fine ever since.
The 2000 to 20003 models pillon footrest were about 50mm longer than the 1998/1999 model.

Hello everyone,
newbie to this forum.
I own a 2003 FZS1000 and would love to persuade my wife to get on the back more often.
We all know there isn't much comfort too riding this bike as a pillion.
Hence my reply to this "old" topic.
What do you use as spacers between the new bracket and the original hanger?
Do you tighten the new capscrews until the hanger hits the capscrew underneath?
Or am I missing something alltogether?
Why do you need two different diameter holes again?
Hope this mod convinces my better half!
Thanx.

Just leave here at home or get a louder exhaust to avoid the ear ache.

2000+ also has a thicker pillion seat area, the seats are a straight swap so hunt ebay for one of those, plus, as said above the pillion footrest hangers are longer after 2000, another straight swap.

He's got a 1000, does that still apply? I know the 600's changed hangers.

Buy a sportsbike, take her on that, then she'll think the FZS is a sofa afterwards! To be fair, it is pretty comfy on the back, and I'm a 5 foot 10 male!
