Any one know how to change the foot rests?

Be sure to take some pictures for us! Where'd you buy them and how much did you end up paying for shipping? I'm tempted to order similar things but all in silver/chrome. I'm about to pick up some adjustable brake levers from the post office today, can't wait to fit them on! These bikes are way too fun to customise!

Will do. The rests are gorgeous. Shipping was 15 Euros for the box (about $19.24 USD) Sure arrived quickly.
My red adjustable long brake levers should arrive in the next week. The seat was delayed a bit so it will be early October.

Only a pin with a cotter key on the bottom holds on the rear foot rests.

I like your goodies, neighbor. I also appreciate that you have a red PCX, like mine, so your bike becomes a virtual test bed for accessories on mine.
Thanks for posting. Cool bits you have there from Thailand.

I went camping towards your direction on 70 above Hermann MO and half a dozen folks were real interested in the cool red scooter as one put it at the campground including one of the staff. I should get referral fees.

When you remove the old foot rests be careful because there is a spring and a ball bearing in the rest that snaps the rest in place out or in so the bearing doesn't roll away. They have designed the bottom plate a little larger so you can hold the spring and ball in place as you put the new foot rest in place. It took a few tries to get it.

Now I am getting errors posting photos (says maximum 768 pixels) via Photobucket even though they are much smaller than the first picture I posted. Not sure what is up.

I distribute my photos many places so Photobucket or something like it is a necessity. The first picture in this thread I posted is using Photobucket and it worked fine just once. My pictures upload as I take them automatically from my phone via Photobucket and Google+ backups. No emails needed. (in case the cops nabbed my phone when I took a photo of something they didn't like) lol
I am on an airgun forum using the same forum software as this forum. For grins I posted the same photo I was trying to post here above that I ended up uploading and it works fine with Photobucket there. The last photo I tried was only 536 by 356 pixels and it still gives the 768 limit message. My first photo was 1024 x 768 so it may have shut me down automatically I am guessing because it was too large. Just a WAG. I will bet if I create another logon I can post the same photo via Photobucket.

Installation was nice. Had to take a deer looking ride first before dark. They sure look better than the cast aluminum ones like the rear rests. The seat is the last thing left when it arrives.

Gorgeous levers! I just got a similar pair but the little bolt that attaches them to the bike seems to be too thick to fit in the hole and is causing some problems ) : You bike looks fantastic with all the little bits added!
