    Have anyone moved the rear spring adjuster to a new location, and have a good spot to put it? I want to remove the chickenlegs (passenger footrests), making it better looking when I'm riding, since I usually ride without any passengers.

    I'm thinking of just removeing the chickenleg and try to mount it in the holes which the chickenlegs are mounted. It doesn't fit right in, so I'll have to make something for it to match.

    If the explanation is crappy I've added a pic with an arrow at the rear spring adjuster, since english isn't my native language :)

    I've also though about putting it somewhere under the saddle, but not sure where there, since I already have a speedohealer mounted close to the brake fluid reservoar.


    Hoping for some helpful replays :)

    I put mine under the seat. I don't remember having any problem finding room and I have a PCV under there too.

    Nice, did you use tape or something to get it in place? I think I saw some space under the side of the fairing, just above of where the adjuster is located now. I guess I'll have to have a look again tomorrow :)
