Is anybody out there with a loopframe that's sporting rear crashbars
ALSO carrying a passenger?
My Eldo has rear crashbars (which I like and would like to keep) but it
has no place to mount rear footpegs.
The crashbar lower mount bolts to the two holes on the rear frame loop
where the muffler bolts to.
If there were no crashbar, a stock footpeg mount would go right on there
no problem. However, with the crashbar in place, the footpeg would have
to mount WAY forward, just behind the driver footboard, in order for the
crashbar not to interfere with the passenger's legs.
My wife has been sitting all morning on the back of the Eldo on a
temporary rear seat waving her feet in the air trying to find the
optimum comfy position, with me sitting in the floor with a footpeg in
my hand, trying to figure out where the best place would be to mount it.
(On reflection, that's rather a silly paragraph but never mind that).
So, the question is, how have you crashbar-equipped loop riders solved
the passenger foot location problem?
