Title: Exhaust hanger bracket to eliminate passenger peg assembly?
Post by: twistyrider on June 05, 2021, 04:46:05 AM

Hi All, I'm new to this forum and new to Concours ownership.  I bought my bike with a Leo Vince slip-on.  I think the bike looks very sleek without the bags.  It would look even sleeker if you could get rid of the passenger peg assemblies.  Left side no problem.  Right side includes the exhaust mount.  Is there an aftermarket exhaust bracket available that would eliminate the passenger peg assembly?  Thanks!  Love the Bike!

I have not seen one before.  I kinda doubt it exists.  Although I agree with you that the Concours looks good without bags, it looks pretty good with them, too.  And having them is a *major* reason the Concours exists.  I don't think there would be much demand for something that permanently removes the ability to use them.

You might have to get something custom, if you want to pursue that concept.

Hey, thanks for the quick response!  I was afraid of that.  Looks like I have a metal working project ahead of me.

I would be interested to see the result. The brackets also include the lower brace for the bags.

I bought a right side oem rear peg bracket, off e-bay.
then cut and ground away everything but what I needed to hold the pipe.
then had it powder coated black.

I use it when I run no bags most of the year, and want a cleaner look with the slip on.
If you're a good welder, yes you could make a pipe hanger pretty fast.

Hey, great idea!  That will be Plan B if I can't come up with some sort of metal working project.  Thanks.
