?????? I dont get it..
The link to the Ebay seller didnt work for me, it said it had been removed.
I like the idea of not needing a trailer to get the bike down the road. How does it act in a corner? Anything negative about it except the gas dribbling?
When the pegs finally give up, are floorboards a decent replacement IF the pegs died from scraping in corners? Would the floorboards get smoked that way?
To re-word that confusing statement yet again for clarity: If you mount floorboards way up high like you would hi-way pegs; don't try to use them in stop-n-go traffic. It would be kind of dumb to put floorboards way up like hi-way pegs; then try to get to your foot controls quickly from that position wouldn't it?
Justin: If you drag pegs a lot, you're not really a floorboard candidate I think.
On the bike towing contraption, as I've seen done before, there are better ones that articulate (are jointed to turn) in the middle so there isn't as much stress put on the bike.
As for pegs or floorboards: I can't really abide by floorboards, but my current O-ring pegs are kind or rough on the foot arches, and even contribute to my knees aching I believe. So I recently ordered a set of these "mega pegs":
I think they have an adjustable tilt mechanism so you can get them to the correct angle. I'll know more in a week or so when mine show up. I recall that someone else on the forum had them installed and I liked the pictures of theirs. They gotta be more comfy than those solid old O-ring pegs.
But for those who really want floorboards, the same eBay seller has these reasonable:
