Passenger foot peg removal question.
I want to remove my passenger foot pegs (can't convince my wife to get on) but I need a spacer to compensate. If anyone knows anything about/has done let me know.
Here is a picture showing what I am talking about.

I was thinking I could just cut the bolts down.
and buy new ones I think it has the thread code on the head of the bolt I might call around and try to find some new ones.

Buy shorter bolts, they're about $1 ea. at Home Depot and they have the handy dandy sizing chart there to figure out what you need. Obviously you'll want to subtract the length of the spacer.
Edit: The spacers did come with the exhaust.

No worries. I had to pick up new hardware for mine after I modded my exhaust and like a dumbshit threw the stock bolts away >
. The spacers are so the passenger pegs can clear the exhaust mid-pipe.

You have two choices, buy new bolts (M8x1.25 if I recall correctly) and leave the spacers there. I think it would look funny.
Or slowly bend the hangers flush against the subframe using much shorter bolts. Better of the two options in my opinion.
