I can only find two bolt holes for the pegs--one bolt for each footpeg. Anyone know where the other bolt holes are under the seat?

And before anyone gives me crap about mounting pass pegs, you would, too if you saw the girl I'm taking for a ride.

*Edit--now I feel like an idiot. Flashlight solved the problem of the missing bolt holes. :)
 
Just try putting the two bolts in through the holes in the heat shield. You'll soon discover that the holes in the heat shield don't line up with the bolt holes on the underside of the tail. The bolt on the left side, behind the rear suspension reservoir is damn near impossible to fit, as you can't get your fingers on it to thread it in. I only put mine on for a few passenger rides before taking them off, but wished I hadn't bothered.
 
I have to admit they are an absolute bitch to fit, i looked at how and sussed it a week or so ago in order to take my gf out, i thought it was a 10 min job but it ended up taking me 45 mins and in the end i left out the longer pegs as i was unable to get any of my tools in through the holes in the heat shiled in order to tighten them.....why make it so hard??

You might need some new tools.;)

I have installed my and removed them multiple times and it take only as long as threading in 4 bolts. Use a long allen wrench through the openings in the heat shield and it should be no problem.

That's Ducati for you ... LOL ... I had my heat shield removed since it really doesn't act as a heat shield anyway .. now they are easier to get to .. however it still takes a long time to install and remove the passenger pegs ... I've even stripped the screws now ... : ( I'll have to drill them to get it off again
 
Agree with SoonerNation. A plain standard allen key applied from under the exhaust will go through holes cut in the heat shield precisely for the purpose of installing the pegs. Job done in 5 minutes. And easy to remove again for track or mono use.
 
My intended pillion weighs around 100lb.

I'm contemplating chopping the arms of the pillion pegs off which bolt between the heat-shield and the chassis member and just bolting through the remaining arms which are more easily accessible, allowing for much quicker addition/removal of the pillion pegs. Do you think that the pillion pegs would still be strong enough?

Cheers
 
Just be thankful you're not running a Termi full system and then thinking of putting the passenger foot pegs on... Whole different ball game.
