Posts: 38 LaFayette, GA United States | I want to remove my passenger floorboards. Do you have to remove the mufflers first? Doesn't look like you can get a socket on the right side? Any suggestions?
Thanks Zig-Zag |

| I just took mine off last night in case you haven't done yet. You just need to remove the heat shield from muffler to get at that 24 mm nut. My problem was the only 24 mm socket I had laying around was from my impact set which the walls were too thick to get down onto nut. Well after 15 min of taking it to the grinding wheel I made it fit. I installed the cross over pipe cover which sure cleans up that ugly blued part of exhaust. |

I won't attempt to remove the swing arm bolt to remove the supports. I want to install the footpeg supports after I cut them down so they are almost invisible. I ride solo only. |

I removed the muffler so I could see better. I removed the heat shield and unbolted the floorboard bracket only to find out that I need to remove almost the entire exhaust system to get the bracket out. I'm not ready to get into all that, so I put it all back together. I'll keep the floorboards on until I have good reason to tear it all apart again. |
