Instructions say remove the 'retaining clip', how do you do this? Is it just a case of prising the bottom one out with a small screwdriver or similar, or is there a particular method?
I just put these in last night. What a royal pain in the ass. I couldn't get the retaining clip out with the footrest brackets and silencer on the bike, so I had to remove the silencer, remove both brackets, then the retaining clips were easily accessible. But the fun didn't stop there. The bolt is pressed in firmly, so I had to put it on a vice to get the bolts out.Instructions say remove the 'retaining clip', how do you do this?

If you can get these things on without removing anything you deserve an award.
Piece of cake. Small electricians screwdriver get the circlip off.
Parallel pin punch and small hammer to get the pin out.
Doubt it took me a minute each side.
From rear towards front. The pin is toughened so you will need a good drift punch,
First registered 5th Oct 2018.So is your bike a 2018? Mines deff has 2 clips on each peg.
Not yet though I have them on order, they should arrive this week.BUMP
Anyone else fitted these on a 2019 model?
I've fitted these to my bike now - a '19 model - and think it's actually the same as the '18 model - there is only one circlip to remove.You go first DMA, you sound to know what you're talking about unlike me![]()
It may be helpful to mention that these sliders are listed for the 690 Duke and not the 790. Obviously they fit the 790, but I couldn't find them until dma was kind enough to list the part number in another post. Mahalo dma! Then I realized that these 690 Duke parts will also fit the 790 Duke.I've fitted these to my bike now - a '19 model - and think it's actually the same as the '18 model - there is only one circlip to remove.
It's hidden behind the pillion footpeg hanger toward the front of the bike - you can pop this off with a small screwdriver.
Then you drive the rod out from behind the support bar (where the circlip was) - so from the front of the motorcycle towards the rear.
Use a 6/8mm drift and hammer - it will need a bit of effort it first as the far end of the rod is splined to mate with the hanger. After a few whacks it will come loose so you can move it from the other end with fingers.
You don't need to get it all the way out though, just enough to get the slider in. Drive the rod back in and put the circlip back on.
It is literally 5 minutes of a job.
I've attached some photos to hopefully make it clearer and a snippet of the parts fiche to show you the pieces - apologies for the low quality. The sliders are identical for both sides - they have a flat end and a pointy end - the pointy end points up / out. You might need to use a hammer to tap them in as they are a tight fit.
You can see there are two other large shim washers that go either side of the peg, just ignore them, the bar will just slide through them.
It seems to depend on the dealer whether they list them as compatible with the 790 / 890 on their website.It may be helpful to mention that these sliders are listed for the 690 Duke and not the 790.
