Rear passenger peg mount...

[Smokinjoe-VRCCDS#0005]

I've seen several solo Standard / Tourer and a few Super Valks with this mount removed....How do you get it off ? It appears welded on the back-side however I'm not sure    Can anyone hook me up with the information needed to remove this mount ?

[ValkFlyer]

Yep, got the same mount, it's welded.  I don't think it's coming of easy.

[Chiefy]

Mine is stock (painted metal) and has a large nut behind it.  Yours is chrome, so don't know.  But look for the nut.

Never mind.  Thought you were referring to the post, didn't realize you were talking about the U bracket.

I've seen Valkyrie's without them and I'd sure like to get them off .

No nut it's hollow and mounted almost flush on the back side it sticks maybe 1/8 inch pass the plate it's mounted too

Yes so have I, I'm guessing we're just lucky  ???  and have the ones that were manufactured different.  We'll see what others have to say.

I have an '03 Standard with passenger pegs attached with a large nut and have since been removed and replaced by a chrome button bolt.

[YoungPUP]

Apparently there are 2 different styles. My 99 Std is held on with a nut as well. Maybe a different set of hangers. I noticed yours are chromed, so the question is how badly do you want that piece gone?

I want them off ....A couple bikes I've saw with them removed had plug to cover the hole left by removing....I'm not worried about a plug at this time I've first got to get them off....Anyway you can take a picture of the back-side of yours ?

[Farther]

Can't the whole chrome back plate be removed and replaced with a piece from another year or perhaps a polished stainless piece.

The saddlebag guard and saddlebg rails attaches to the same bracket the peg mount is on .

Did you do this mod or was it that way when you got the bike ?

First picture sent to me by Ian ( YoungPUP ) .....Thanks for taking the time to do that for me it's appreicated 



This is a picture of the back side of mine and it's clear they are not the same    I guess I'm S O L with getting mine off without some serious cutting and grinding.

I'd leave the pegs. You never know, you may pic up some young thing along the road someday.

She'd have to ride on the fender ....No back seat....If she'd ride on the fender then she'd ride with her feet in the air

I've got a spare set of black hangers your welcome to if you'd like.  Pegs screw off these.

   Looks like the Valkyrie has two different mounts you have one that bolts on and I have one thats welded on....Thanks for the response .

Much appreicated for the offer ....I'll get it up to my friends shop soon and see what he claims about us getting it off....If that fails I might take that offer cause I want these removed.

I had a chick need a ride to her car a while back (bout ten minutes). I told her that she was welcome to a lift but that she'd have to ride on sheetmetal and there had better not be any rivets in her Daisy Dukes. She actually said the ride wasn't too bad but wouldn't want to do it for any period of time.

if you lick them first,they will stick to the fender

Excellent idea and sticky fender     ....To steer this back on track now ....I'd still like to hear from anyone who has the non-bolted passenger foot peg mount removed and how they did it.

[Michvalk]

Joe, I think the mount you have is not stock, but aftermarket. I don't remember any Valks coming with chrome mounts for the passenger pegs. Bet the chrome mounts are the problem. A set of stock type mounts will fix your problem.

WOW ...Remove chrome can you do that     Thanks for the reply I may go that route if we can't figure out someway to cut it down ....If I do go that way I'll have some chrome hangers to trade for stock 

[YoungPUP]

I know its a bit more expensive, but valkyriebling has something up about chrome pass peg mounts. Thought I read something about exchange basis. Get a stock set, and get them chromed.....

Joe.....

Them chrome mounts is worth $$.  You might want to reconsider trading them.  

Pinwall has some regular black OEM mounts on fleabay.  Type in "valkyrie exhaust mount".  There's several sets for around 20 bucks.  They clearly show a hole in the middle that you could plug.

If it comes down to that I can trade one of my ridin' buds for a stock set...Thanks for posting 

[PhredValk]

You could sell the chrome passenger peg mounts, and use the proceeds to buy and chrome the stock replacements. Win win.

[MacDragon]

My 2000 Standard clearly is bolted on too.

I could go further but I'll just say  instead.
