Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Hi guys, Due to my wife confirming that she won't be getting on the back of my TRX I want to get rid of the rear footrests & generally tidy up the looks a bit. Does anyone know of any company that makes aftermarket (footrest-less) brackets to support the carbon cans? (My baby has OMRAE brand cans fitted) If nothing is available I could probably make something but
if someone else has already done it it'll save me the effort. (& probably some pain)

I think Kedo (www.kedo.com) do them, but they seem a bit pricey for what they are.

KEDO definitely, as Kayla says, but it's a question of whether you want to pay the asking price. You could probably find Yamaha originals on e-bay for next to nowt, angle grind the lugs down and finish them up yourself (get them powdercoated, if you're feeling rich). They might actually look better - the Kedo ones don't look especially trick in the catalog and I imagine they weigh about the same.

I don't take pillions, so I just took the pegs off, which cost me nothing.

Ask a friendly engineer to knock some up for you - I've had a variety of designs on mine over the years. This is the only close up I could find. Presently have a nice ally one

Thanks for the info/suggestions guys (& girls) I think I'll have to sort something out over the xmas break - probably get something fabricated as there aren't too many TRX's being dismantled over here so the evil-bay thing for s/hand ones to modify isn't really an option

Hi Mr Bear
Try Motorcycle Masters in Kewdale,i know Mike has wrecked a few Rex's.
Cheers,Alan.
