    Hi. I have a 2017 Street Twin with 2 into 1 high level exhaust with Vance and Hines can. The problem is the passenger getting their foot on the passenger footrest next to a hot exhaust. It needs a spacer to move it out. Does anyone know if one exists?
    Thanks in advance.

    Don't know about for this bike but ii had similar on my old one and got a mate to knock up one in his workshop for afew beers. Might be worth contacting a couple of engineering shops..

    Don't know the bike. But I had these bits lying in my garage and don't know if they would be any good. If you think you could use them pm an address and I will stick them in the post to you. They will need a good clean or painting.
    Happy Christmas.

    Hi Joe. First of all thanks for the reply. And secondly I wouldn't like to waste your time and postage money. Of which I will gladly pay for.
    Looking at the pictures ,will they bend up like normal footrests do using the brackets?
    If I us these I'm not worried about having to polish them. I could always have them galvanized.
    Sorry if there are so many questions about the item.
    I noticed your a Bonneville man in your write up. As I came back to Triumphs. I was all for the Tiger. But now getting long in the tooth and Tiger being to heavy for me. I'm am also going back to a Bonneville, with a slightly different name on the end. Not even rode it yet, it's a winter buy.
    Anyway, I'll stop going on. I look forward to your reply and all the festive cheers go to you.
    Regards Alan

    Hi. Thanks for the reply. Your right about having them knocked up at a local engineering company. In fact my lad is a welder, I will ask him first. Maybe buy him a beer. Thanks again. Alan

    No sorry looking at them closely they would not be right it looks like they are a solid fit. Sorry. I looked at my Bonnie if yours are similar can't you fit a spacer and longer bolt through. When I see my Boy I will have a look at the ones he took of my 675 it has high levels but I feel they were quite short.
    Happy Christmas.
    Joe.

    Hi Joe. Thanks again for taking the time out to reply. I'm going to have a word with my son-in-law and see what he can do. All the best to you. Alan
