Hey all,

Can you use passenger pegs on the undertail VanDemon exhaust? If not, is there a modified version or way to do this? (Yes, the lady is hell bent on rides here and there throughout the summer.. *sigh* )

Thank you,

Chris
 
Actually the answer is not NO. The answer is YES AND NO. No the Vandemon exhaust will not work with the bikes passenger pegs. But Yes the Vandemon exhaust will work with the passenger pegs if the Akra spacers are installed. Akra makes spacers for their undertail exhaust so that you can retain the passenger pegs. Why are questions posted when the answer was given already during a phone call as well as texts. Maybe the answer didnt include how to make the Vandemon because no question was asked how is it possible that it will work. My answers are just not appreciated or good enough LOL. I feel so unappreciated LOL ;)

VanDemon silencer mount bolts directly to the sub frame

No room for spacers or pegs

You ship those bushings yet?
 
I shipped the one out. And ordered the other one to you. But its on backorder till next week. I shipped out the one today. I will text you the USPS tracking # tomorrow. Its at work.
The Vadnemon silencers do not mount to the subframe. They mount to a bracket which then mounts to the subframe just like the akra undertail does. However akra made spacers with longer bolts that allow you to mount the passenger pegs. Those spacers can be used on the Vandemon exhaust. Plus the benefit of having passenger brackets on Vandemon exhaust over the Akra is because the Vandemon exhaust cans are closer together than the Akra exhaust cans. You cant even fit a license plate between the Vandemon exhaust cant. The license plate covers about a 1/2 of each exhaust can on both sides. While the Akra cans are spaced so far apart that there is about a 1 1/2 inches of room from the license plate to the exhaust cans. Therefore having the Vandemon exhaust cans closer together keeps the heat further away from the passengers feet and legs. Here is a link to the NRC tail tidy showing how far apart the Akra exhaust cans are.

You have reason to suspect that’s not Don’s bike?
 
20th time my bike is not gonna have ANY RED on it

matte black

Like my hero’s : )

That was dudes SBK motor with a stock tail and my exhaust mocked up on it so he could get the silencer angle where I wanted it and so he could make me a bracket that works with stock tail

*And Mick my bike doesn’t look anything like that at the moment but plz keep posting that pic. It gives me hope : )
 
Mick makes some sweet carbon fiber brackets and stuff in case you need anything for your bike

Don has tried to get some parts from me but has no money. I think tires is on his list to get next.

What would ya charge for a one off bracket like that Mick?

If I mailed you my system so you could mock it up on your bike and figure out all the angles and make it with 15 layers and bosses for rubber grommets
 
Easy to make so don't need the exhaust or to mount it. Mount it up on your bike see if it needs to be changed and I make the bracket. I can even install the press in nuts or however you want it.

74DF2C14-CF25-4EA9-99DD-26FED376FE86.jpegHow you gonna make a bracket that lines up w the foot peg holes and the silencers without mocking it up?

And what would it cost?
 
That bracket that already exists looks like it fits ok so no need to make unless your changing subframes.
