Any peg or board that attaches
to the stock passenger peg holes in the frame can be relocated down and
forward - varying amounts depending on the peg/board and your pipes.
Remove the peg/boards where they bolt to the frame and check to see if you
have enough clearance - pipes and other body parts. Check by placing the
mounts, with boards/pegs attached, on various points of the boomerang and
check clearance - be sure to do both sides as the clearances vary and you do
want the boards the same height on both sides.
If you get satisfactory
relocation distance, and clear parts and pipes, then you can mark and drill
two holes per side and use through bolts with washers, lock washers and
nylox nuts to secure the mounts in the new location. Note, the
boomerang appears to be solid cast metal, but it is in fact a formed, hollow
piece, so you will drill through into the center and need to continue
drilling out the other side.
I did this with a set of Barons
Offset Pass. Board - which by them selves gave some relief from stiff knees
and long legs. I wanted my wife to have even more room, and used the
above approach to move the boards down by almost 3 inches and about the same
forward. I was able to use some chrome bolts that Barons had included with
the original kit - they were for use on a roadie. Note: In the pix you
can see the stock peg mounting bolts, behind the relocated boards..
