Wideline Pillion Footrest

They need to be tight other wise 'pillions' tend to kick them off! A tight fit can be sorted with petrol or washing up liquid. If you are lucky and they are too tight then they split-have fun. But in some respects this is an area that would have seen many variations and odd fitting so any thing is possible.

If your footrest rubber is too tight to fit, have you considered easing the hole, say with a suitably sized drill bit in an electric drill?

Had no issue with them.  Warmed in bowl of hot water, footrest in folded position and rubber mallet to get them fully home. Can also use an air line to help float them over the spindles, but that works better with Handlebar rubbers...

Do not use Washing up liquid it remains oily and they will turn.

I bought some of the flat type for the slimline and they look the same as the orriginals but have a much smaller hole that would split if I fitted them.  My suspicion is that they are for the lightweight  and have been supplied in error. Perhaps thats what is happening ??.
