Red face Spacer to use when removing your passenger pegs.

For the truly obsessive compulsive type. When leaving the bolts on the shelf or using washers just won't suffice.

Gotta go take my meds.

Definitely a good way of keeping those threads unexposed to the elements while one saves enough $$$ for the monoposto heel guards!

Not raining on your parade, but what about using buttonhead screws of the same thread pitch like on most Jap-bikes??

That way they would be more flush to the bracket and chrome.

1. Chrome won't get ya home.
Pic from my last bike build. I blasted the chrome, hit it with primer and then John Deere Blitz Black.



2. I won't lose the bolts when they are on the bike.

Yeah, I know about the chrome vs. home thing, but I was thinking that it would look more "finished" and it would be more flush so less to get a boot hung up on.

Just my opinion, it typically means nothing....

That was my first thought as well....

It would look better and the chances of getting a shoe lace caught on the spacer and bolt would be much less.

i don't see how the spacer would increase the chance of getting a lace caught. i'm just stalling. gotta put that cored exhaust on this weekend.
