When i had my Sv a few years ago i put a set of High Levels on. I was still able to use the pillion footrests as there was a large spacer fitted to each mounting point.
Now i have my High Level Scorpions i have had to remove the footrests and my boy hasn't been on the bike for a few weeks.
Does anyone know where i can get replacement spacers, as i would like to satrt taking the lad back on the bike again, especially after the other post about pillions.
Failing that, does anyone know or have contacts with an engineering firm that could make 4 for me?

Quick fix is to use long sockets as spacers.
Seen lots done like that.

what you need to do is find the size needed and some one working in a machine shop
who can make them up.

Or get some Remus ones that come in a kit with longer bolts etc
Got mine from Hein Gericke years ago
The reason I went for this is
i) I'm a lazy git and can't be arsed messing around to get the right length spacer & bolt
ii) It has a connecting rod welded between the 2 spacers on each side so you don't lose them as they roll under the workbench every time you take them off!!

I'm guessing that you didn't get the Scorpions new?
Mine came with all the bits to refit the pegs. I would contact Scorpion direct and see what they can do for you

That sounds enough to me
If it's any help I can give you actual dimensions of Scorpion spacers

just take a hacksaw to the clothes rail in your wardrobe and get a few penny washers shud do the trick..... DISCLAIMER this is neither clever or the correct way of doing it as the missus will kill you....
