doghart, i don't want to mislead you on this foot peg installation. the dealer who offered to do it for me has never installed an mhp with the foot peg included. in fact, i was his first and maybe only mhp installation. and the guy who offered to install the pegs was
not the guy working on the bike. my guess is that he was thinking in terms of the triumph high-pipe.
my best advice would be to email mark at mhp and put this question to him. maybe eurotwins can input to this, also.
at the end of this post are links to three pics of the mhp mounting system. a rough guess based on eyeballing my bike is that the peg would have to stand out somewhere around 1" or more from its' original location. you can see in the front photo that i already have my muffler cocked in a little at the front so as to gain a little boot clearance. the mhp muffler bracket is around 5/16" thick. at the least you would have to source a standout-spacer and longer mounting bolts with head and thread matching original.
another consideration might be that the footprint of the foot peg mount to the frame is larger than the mhp bracket. you can see that easily ‘cause i never got around to removing the bracket and painting the lugs. might want to consider moving that bracket behind the frame lugs. the muffler clamp would need to be reshaped slightly as the muffler would stay generally in the same location. in this case you would need enough thread beyond the lugs to accommodate the bracket and a washer and locknut.
okay, after all that windage i just found the following link. look at fumanchu's post and see what you make of it. sounds like skyking has (or had) a foot peg kit for this pipe. you could try and contact him for info and maybe the kit.
