Title: Floor Boards Post by MMRanch on 01/02/09 at 00:00:30 Hi guys I think some Crome Floorboards maybe in my future. AnyOne have any experience in this area? |

Title: Re: Floor Boards Post by Paladin. on 01/02/09 at 02:29:41 I rode L.A. to OKC and back in Sept. '07. No floorboards and my feet were killing me as bad or worse than the butt. Floorboards are also in my future, tho' I haven't started looking into any specifics. |

Title: Re: Floor Boards Post by MMRanch on 01/02/09 at 18:48:24 HAY EYEORE I BEEN LOOKING ON E-BAY AT THE UNIVERSAL MOUNT. DID YOU HAVE TO ADD THE LITTLE TAB (STOP) OR HOW DID THAT WORK? |

Title: Re: Floor Boards Post by Gary On A Savage on 01/02/09 at 22:19:40 I have full size, adjustable HD style floorboards on my savage. They are the greatest thing! Not a straight swap, but a doable project if you're up to the challenge. http://w3.bikepics.com/pics/2008%5C07%5C05%5Cbikepics-1342767-full.jpg http://gkhdev.com/pics/floorboard.jpg http://gkhdev.com/pics/floorboard%20001.jpg http://gkhdev.com/pics/floorboard%20002.jpg The design was my brother's idea. I asked him to weld stops on the bottom of the bracket that goes into the peg holder. But he came of with the idea of reversing the bracket and drilling holes for screws. The second picture shows a temporary screw he put in. He replaced it with a set screw that was cut down. You can see those in the last two pictures. You can also see that the bike is much dirtier now... |

Title: Re: Floor Boards Post by eyeore302000 on 01/03/09 at 10:54:31 The ones I bought were a direct fit to the factory mounting tabs. The additional mod I made was a thin washer on the mounting peg before i installed ithem on to the bike. |

Do you have a "how to" post?[/quote] I bought these (currently $65, I paid $85): http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?parta~dyndetail~Z5Z5Z50000135a~Z5Z5Z5CCAWK~P64.95~~~~S2BB03OT1M12982013011a~Z5Z5Z5~Z5Z5Z50000123a No how to yet. But planning a post as soon as I can shoot pictures and get some details from my brother. Basically, there is nothing other than the stock peg mounts and all the hardware from the floorboards. The floorboards are HD peg replacements with the bottom of the "peg piece" flat and the top rounded. If you put them in that way there is no bottom support since the expect a flat piece on the mount at the bottom to rest on. I wanted my brother to weld on a tab for the bottom support. Instead, he came up with a better idea of turning the "pegs" over and drilling and installing a set screw through the stock savage mounts. His way gives support and are adjustable to the proper angle. I'll post a "how to" in a few days. |

Title: Re: Floor Boards Post by sluggo on 01/07/09 at 00:39:01 i've been considering boards for thumper, MAx has a set, he likes them. |

Title: Re: Floor Boards Post by daweise1 on 01/07/09 at 12:42:35 Just a thought, but this is what I did..... I got a set of HD heel rests and used those. Cost was cheaper than floor boards, and they are not as bulky. Cleaner look I guess..... Anyways, just my two cents |

Title: Re: Floor Boards Post by Jimmer on 01/07/09 at 13:25:23 Daweise 1 Where did you get the HD heel rests, I can't seem to find them. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Jimmer |

Title: Re: Floor Boards Post by daweise1 on 01/07/09 at 20:18:20 ebay..... I had to wait a while to find the ones I wanted for the right price |

Title: Re: Floor Boards Post by Puddle Pirate on 01/10/09 at 14:54:38 I found an old post from Jack 650 about a universal mini-floorboard from JP cycles. Has anyone installed these on their bikes? Is it an easy job or does it involve extensive mods. I'd like to just remove my pegs and swap them out. Thanks. |

Mostly a straight swap, but you'll have to drill out the hole to make it fit the pin. And I found that a washer also makes the fit better. |

Title: Re: Floor Boards Post by Rogue_Cheddar on 01/11/09 at 16:04:36 When I put on some longer Harley pegs for the passenger set, I used some nylon washers that made it snug enough so that when I wanted them up, they stayed up. |

Title: Re: Floor Boards Post by savagedml on 01/12/09 at 08:56:21 Hey eyeore302000: any chance you could post a link, or the brand, part #, cost etc. of those direct bolt on floorboards? I'm looking for a set that requires no more than taking the stock pegs off, and bolting the floorboards on. Thanks |

I took a the picture of the boards that you sent to me to my bike store (Not the stealership), and told them that you had said that they were custom chrome. They told me that Custom Chrome has gone belly up. Any chance that there is another set of boards at the shop where you purchased yours? |
