Stock passenger peg mod for Warrior

A good mod to include is the passenger peg flip over. When I did mine, I went to Pep Boys and went to the miscellaneous parts shelves. I bough a generic alternator spacer which just happened to be the same diameter as the spacers that are welded onto the bag of the peg brackets. The spacer was about 3" long and i just use a hack saw to cut off four spacers for use in extending the brackets out so as to clear the oil tank and the pulley cover. I used the right side mounting bolts on the left side and Pep Boys had metric 2" long bolts that worked great for the right side. I painted the spacers semigloss black to match the pegs and you cannot tell that they are modified at all.

Stock passenger peg mod for Warrior.
I performed the folowing mod on the passenger pegs today and it moved the pegs down about 3 inches and ahead about 3 inches.

The peg mounting plate and peg will remain on their repective sides but the mounting plate will be rotated 180 degrees and the stock mounting holes will be used.

Right side.

1- Remove peg with mounting bracket.

2- Remove peg mounting bolt and collect 2 flat plates, ball bearing, spring, & bushing. Store items as right side.

3- Using a whizz wheel ( cut off wheel ) slice through the welds attaching the wire guard to the mounting bracket and remove the guard. Sand, grind, file or whatever to smooth the back side of the bracket.

4- Grind the two 90 degree corners of the peg mounting tabs to a radius to match the factory radius. Thease tabs are the ones welded to the attaching bracket.

Left side.

1- Same as 1 above

2- Same as 2 above except store items as left side.

3- Cut off triangulated guard about 1/8 from welded tab, file finish as necessary.

4- Same as 4 above

Next, Get 8 of 7/16 lock washers and paint the mounting plates and lock washers with rattle can semi gloss black.

Reinstall fold over pegs to mounting plates.

Right side, Using the stock mounting bolts install the mounting plate with one 7/16 lock washer between the bike frame and each boss on the mounting plate. This should give you about 3/16 clearance between the mounting plate and the oil tank.

Left side. You will need 3 lock washers between the mounting plate boss and the bike frame. Heres where I had a problem. The original left side bolts are to short but the right side bolts will work. I could not find any bolts that matched the thread of the Yamaha frame. Temporary solution; I installed 2 of 5/16 X 2" hex heads as through bolts with nuts and locks washers on the back side untill I can find the stock Right side bolts to replace them with.

The job took about 2 hours not counting the ride I took to 4 stores looking for metric hardware.

The wife came out and did a "test sitting" (no ride) and liked it a lot. She's 5' 5 and with the stock seat on my scoot her knees were about even with her butt jounts. When she had sat on it in stock form, before I moved the pegs, she said it reminded her of a trip to the Gynecologist.

NOTE!!! I have a slip on muffler so those of you that still have the stock can on your scoot be sure to check for right side foot clearance.

Later,

Churchkey

I did the same mod but used a grinder to do all the work. Instead of extending the brackets i just ground down the back of the brackets themselves to give clearance between the oil tank and pulley cover. This way i could use the stock bolts and use locktite blue and no lockwashers. Can't even tell it was moded by looking at it.
