    Hi all, I am a bit new to forums. I have an 08rr and I am currently modding it for track only. I need help however. I am really struggling to work out how to take off the pillion pegs! I am not stupid but at the same time I do not want to strip the whole thing down just yet and only want to remove the pegs and install quickshifter and pc5. Any advice would be really appreciated :) leemt2112

    welcome to the forum chap, never taken the pillion pegs off so cant help you there but its a bit of a job to do by all accounts. If you do a forum search its been covered a few times on here.

    Good luck

    Si

    There will be an article on this, but its a big job - full back end of bike strip down to split subframe to gain access to bolts.

    Look on it as a 2 hour job and you will be about right time wise

    Lucky for me in that i sussed out about the rear peg issues prior to buying the bike so i made it a condition of the deal so it was a 3 hour freebee. What i can't understand is that as these are racebikes with number plates and lights why would Honda make it so hard for dudes wanting a road bike but who also did the odd track day??
