Yes somebody on here makes titanium skid plates. Or you could come up with your own solution. I have thought about drilling a hole in the floor board where the skid bump is and put a titanium bolt in it

Nope not scary. Your floor board actually do make sparks, they are steel.
But the titanium will make white sparks. Very cool

Re:floor boards 1 Year ago  
Funny Story........when I was younger and perhaps a bit wilder. I had a cobbler put a piece of flint on the back part of my riding boots. Whil riding down the road at night i would drag the back of my boots on the tar and would light up the road like the fourth of July! It wasnt till I was well into my 30's till my friends stopped calling me Sparky! True Story!

Re:floor boards 1 Year ago  
When it comes to floor boards on a Roadstar, people seem to forget the adjective that goes with them....... they're sacrifical floorboards - of course they scrape - they're made to do that.
