    WTT: My Two Brothers M5 Highmount (R6) for your low mount

    Probably a long shot but I figured it was worth a try. I love the pipe, but miss my passenger pegs. Before I pony up for low-mount parts, I figured if there might be someone on here that would like to swap straight up.

    Ya can't get longer bolts & put spacers between the subframe & the peg bracket? I know you can do that on a lot of other bikes. Looks like your tail fairing might up the mounting holes though....

    Yeah I don't think that'd work. The bracket comes down directly where the pipe sits. I thought of having a machine shop whip me up something, but there's really no way it can go on that I can fathom that wouldn't look ridiculous.

    This stems from squidding up at Hampton the other night and having a killer blond with big cans ask me to take her for a ride, and me having to say no, btw.

    I put spacers on my devil highmount... Its pretty funny when the girl is on it actually, her right leg is wide and her left is in close. Doesn't look too bad when shes not on it though. If you like the sound thats the route I would take. Just my 2 cents.

    +1 on the bracket. You can get a long bolt with a spacer that will put the peg on the outside of the can. The benefit of this is if it ever tips over (dont ask how I know), the pipe will never touch because the foot peg will act as a frame slider.

    On your bike you'll actually need a plate to move the peg forward and out a little bit. Micron makes a kit to do it that comes with their high mounts (thats what I've got). I would look into it... maybe you can pick up just the plate to relocate the peg. It sounds weird, but its only about a 2" move on one side, doesn't look weird at all.

    Can't really tell all that well from the angle... but heres my set up.
