Removing Passenger Footpegs & Installling Akrapovic Exhaust Hanger on 2021 Aprili Tuono 4K

Hello all, in this in-garage VLOG we remove the passenger foot pegs from my 2021 Aprilia Tuono. In doing this we install the Aprilia OEM block off plate on the left side of the motorcycle and install a new exhaust hanger on the right hand side of the bike. The exhaust hanger is by Akrapovic, and is very similar if not exactly the same that I had on my 2017 Aprilia Tuono.
Not the most difficult of modifications or changes but there are some tips and little tricks that may help anyone who has in mind to do a similar task.
Enjoy!
PS. Answer me the leading question here; how many of you motorcycle riders out there actually use the passenger foot pegs on your naked or sports bike? I'd be very curious to know.
PPS, as per request the removed foot peg assemblies together weight 1 Lb, 13.5 Ounces....heavier than I thought actually. The replacement are super light, maybe 6 ounces? Anyway the difference in acceleration is staggering! LOL....

I like the opening of your videos it's like Mr. Rogers Neighborhood Show. "Won't You Be My Neighbor?"

[@GareyCooperdude]

Haha...love it! Many of us did grow up with Mr. Rogers, and hey his message was always a nice and positive one. So Thanks!

Looks great. Carbon fiber looks real good.

[@GareyCooperdude]

Thanks 👍

Good job, like the Carbon bits. I do exactly the same thing with a block of wood under the side stand, makes life a lot easier when lining up the rear stand - Are you ging to be adding a tune to it now like Gabro Racing?

[@GareyCooperdude]

Yeah that little tip on the block of wood is so good...otherwise it's very intimidating to lift the bike and get the alignment to the cradle on the rear swing arm right.
I did add the tune using the Gabro. I'll need to cover that, thanks for the advice!

Looks awesome. Love the carbon fiber. Don’t forget to weigh the foot pegs for the weight savings 😉

[@GareyCooperdude]

You know I did weight the foot pegs for the fun of it! I will post it, I am sure that the difference translates into increased speed and handling....LOL.

[@GareyCooperdude]

And the removed foot pegs weight 1lb 13.5 ounces.....the difference if acceleration and handling is remarkable!
