Frame piece behind right rear foot peg

[tommymck]

Am I correct in assuming that the triangular frame piece is there just to prevent passengers from inadvertently making contact with the drive shaft?

Seems logical.

That would be my guess. I removed mine because the drive shaft is one of the coolest things about the bike and I like seeing it better.

Yep!

Mine lasted a day? Two days? Not long anyway.

When my R18C is 50 years old and I have mine in the Mecum Las Vegas Motorcycle auction in 2071,
I will be able to say "Mine is 100% OEM/Stock."
Of course,I'll need to remove the sidecar and take the Corbin seat off.Phew,glad I kept the oem seat.

It's there as a safety for the passenger, if you buy steps later than the triangle comes with the steps. In some counties it is forbidden to have steps without the triangle.

Just make sure your passenger's shoelaces are tied.
