Royal Enfield 145540/A (145540/B) LH Pillion Footrest Support Bracket – Bullet 350/500, Electra 350 UCE & Thunderbird (Left Side OEM)

Royal Enfield part 145540/A (superseded by 145540/B) is the Left-Hand (LH) pillion footrest support bracket—the OEM metal mount that holds the rear/passenger footrest on compatible Royal Enfield models. On official dealer microfiche, 145540/A appears as “Support Pillion Foot Rest LH” under the Bullet 500 Euro 3 → Foot Rest assembly, confirming it as a genuine fitment part (not a generic aftermarket bracket).

This bracket is the correct fix when your pillion footrest mount is bent after a fall, rusted, or the mounting holes have become oval/loose over time—common on older Bullet/Electra/Thunderbird platforms used for daily commuting or luggage touring. It restores proper pillion footrest alignment and load-bearing strength, helping reduce vibration and preventing footpeg wobble.

Many competitor listings only mention “145540” with no clarity on LH side, supersession (A → B), or model fitment boundaries. This listing is written to reduce wrong orders: 145540 is LH and its matching RH partner is 145541 (sold separately or as a set).

If your bike is not in the confirmed table below, treat fitment as ❓ Verify before ordering.
