Removing Rear Pegs

[Cruiser25]

I wanna remove my rear pegs for more of a single rider look, but I am unsure of how to take them off. IF anyone knows how please let me know. Also are they able to be put back on after I take them off or is it just remove em and there gone?

What year is your bike?  If its an F which is what I have (assuming previous years are the same/similar, which I cant say with certainty they are) simply remove the small C clip (be careful cuz they can pop off and go flying so keep your hands and eyes on it) then slide out the pin and the peg pops off.  Theres also a roundish shaped washer that is on the peg that is removable, this allows for the up/down locking action, so dont misplace that. Its quite a simple process actually.  Ive removed my rears and they go back on just as easy as they come off.

The pegs are easy to remove, as stated above.  If you really want a solo look you may have to cut off the brackets, which are welded to the frame (and create a new mounting bracket for the muffler, which bolts to the passenger peg bracket.)

you were correct just those C rings holding em, came right off. And I wouldn't have to take the whole bracket off, if I really wanted just cut off the brackets for the pegs and leave the one alone for the muffler.

Solo look is more the seat and tail rather than just removing the pegs. Junior is OK even though he still has his rear pegs.
If you do remove them: suggest you paint the bracket black to make it less visible. It will have edges you can scrape yourself on, so round down the edges a little with a file. (the pegs in place keep you from scratching yourself on the bracket edges)

Looks great!  I think you have to cut off the brackets though, unless you want an odd triangle shape hanging there with no peg on it.  But maybe you should just leave it like it is.  Still a good looking bike!

Thank you.
Junior will keep the rear pegs. I have a few different tails and seats, so someday he may have capability of a passenger (have stock, custom and gel seat in storage).
His belly pan is now replaced with a red one. Looks better. I need to shoot a photo of that to update my pix. The black pan with the stripes goes with a different tail and seat cowling I have for him.
Though painting the bracket black and having black rear pegs might look better. I'll have to photo shop that to see if I like it.
