#163898 Flintlock4 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Re:Floorboard Extensions for the Road Star 2 Years, 11 Months ago   Just did this modificaiton over the weekend. I have not had it on the road yet but also have found the 15 degree angle to be a bit much (also tall guy 6' 3". Thanks for the ideas - I beleive I will make a second set without the angle and see how that works. Anyone found a way to use the engine guards after this modification?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #163902 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9186 Re:Floorboard Extensions for the Road Star 2 Years, 11 Months ago   if you do a search on the forums, you can find a lot of info on this subject, depending on what brand of guards and extenders..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #164059 slezy (User) life is short enjoy every minute Platinum Boarder Posts: 2068 Re:Floorboard Extensions for the Road Star 2 Years, 11 Months ago     Logged     life is once enjoy it to the fullest! bbcode   The administrator has disabled public write access. #164076 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Floorboard Extensions for the Road Star 2 Years, 11 Months ago   Flintlock4 wrote: Just did this modificaiton over the weekend.

Slot the hole so you can adjust the angle. The Yami big bar work with the extenders. That's what I have on my bike.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #167947 SaltyJack (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 209 Re:Floorboard Extensions for the Road Star 2 Years, 11 Months ago   I was wondering about those floor board exts',Do you think that they have to be 3/8 thick or would 1/4 do? I don't stand on the floor boards. I went and made a set yesterday(1/4) without reading all the comments. Now, I'm having second thoughts about the 15 deg. angle, plus the brake line thing and do I really need them or do I JUST WANT THEM?? I was wondeing if there was a particular way of not necessarily extending them very far but going with a 10-15 angle or an adjustable one. So thats my story. Ideas ??   Logged     Artifical Intelligence is Better Than No Intelligence At All !   The administrator has disabled public write access. #168004 bhunter (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 72 Re:Floorboard Extensions for the Road Star 2 Years, 11 Months ago   when i made mine i didnt want the brake line that tight so i made them 2 1/2 inches and tilted 10 degrees.1/4 steel didnt seem strong enough to suit me so i used 3/8.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #168039 chico (User) "EL BANDIDO" says lets ride man,lets ride!!!

Don't forget to use lock tight, good way to screw up a new paint job. I installed mine and spaced off the lock tight. Well about six months later i got a new paint job. Was on a week and my right front assembly lost a bolt in the black hills and rotated forward scratching the hell out of the back of my front fender. Long story shot I stole a bolt from the frame until I got to my friends ranch 30 miles away in hill city. Then I lock tighted the crap out of it. man was my paint guy mad.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #168097 SaltyJack (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 209 Re:Floorboard Extensions for the Road Star 2 Years, 11 Months ago   I don't suppose you tried the extensions yet did you? If so,what do you think? Good ,bad or indifferent? I'm more inclined to go with your mods so I may try that when I ge the steel. I havethe other style made but the bike is in storage so can't get the feel!   Logged     Artifical Intelligence is Better Than No Intelligence At All !   The administrator has disabled public write access. #168248 bilsd1818 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 162 Re:Floorboard Extensions for the Road Star 2 Years, 11 Months ago   I like mine been on about 3 years now. moved forward 2.5 or 3 inches and I don't remember the angle but helped me stretch out some. I am only 5'11" so if you are taller than that I don't know how they will work.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
