Footpeg removal.

[turner]

How the hell do you get the footpegs off when you have floorbourds. I have tried using a small mirror to get at the tiny split pins but with no success.

I don't understand?
Floorboards and pegs?

Are you speaking about floorboards that are fiberglass? If so remove the two bolts in the frame that secure the pegs and holders... then you'll have to put them back in one unit...

Footpegs

That's right Solidbob.The floorboards are plastic.The plate that holds the footpeg has two bolts, and also has a metal arm attached.that holds. the
footboard up. I guess I will remove the two bolts, and see if I can get at the split pin that way.

Footpegs

The company that converted my GW to a trike dirtdobber,left the footpegs on the bike,when they put the plastic floorboards on.I tend to get cramp in my hips with the present ergonomics so I need to have room to stretch my legs forward. I am
78years old so I am starting to get various physical aches and pains.

Depending on the kit you have they are for my Roadsmith kit called Wing Guards... Floorboards are actually the Chrome Flat Boards you put your feet on, tall folks sometimes totally remove the footpegs or floorboards as long as their fiberglass Wing Guards are weight bearing for comfort... here's a couple of photos....
