Silk,
Hi there, I should be in a position to provide some answers to your questions shortly.
The brackets I have had made will be with me tomorrow and I will be able to complete a full and final installation. I will put some pictures in my album for you and others to look at.
I am also keen to see how it works for getting on board. I am the swing the right leg over type but I think it will have to be lift the right leg toes uppermost over the riders part of the saddle.
My wife gets aboard by standing on the peg and swing the right leg round. Whether this will still work I don't know.
I'll let you all know when we've tried it!!
