#109156 Isriam (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 132 passenger floorboards 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Anyone tried making custom passenger floorboards with the existing pegs? Wouldn't take very much to weld a frame and slap a flat piece of metal on it. Would be much better than the 100-280 dollar solutions i've seen so far   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #109159 Jason19 (User) Yes, I am a Pirate, 200 years too late Junior Boarder Posts: 177 Re:passenger floorboards 3 Months, 1 Week ago   very true, but I would pay 100-150 bucks for the shiny chrome plated and rubber padded version versus my hack of a weld job haha   Logged     -Jason 2007 Road Star Silver Hypercharger Pro-R LA Choppers CurveDD with cut baffles   The administrator has disabled public write access. #109183 Lakecharles (User) Jeremiah 29:11 and Semper Fi!

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1816 Re:passenger floorboards 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Dang, you guys just burst my bubble.... I have a set in the garage I've been workin' on. 1 x 1 oak for the frame...some nice plywood for the top's,.... then I cut an old mudflap up to fit and nailed it down. I was gonna cut you guys in on a deal if I started mass producin' them but , oh well!   Logged     2004 Midnite Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #109232 Isriam (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 132 Re:passenger floorboards 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Think what you want, but after investing thousands and thousands into a bike that simply lowers in value, I don't see the point in spending $280 just so my girlfriends feet don't vibrate Besides, some of the best modifications are hand made, and save hundreds easily. I may take my rear pegs to a shop and draft up some drawings to see what they can make for under 100.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #109235 billjr (User) RIDE LIKE YOUR INVISABLE!!!!!!!!!!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1118 Re:passenger floorboards 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I make parts for my bike, so make what ya want and if no one likes the way you did it then tough . You ride it not them, and no one said they had to look at it!!!!!!!!!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #109240 Goodygood (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 168 Re:passenger floorboards 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Yeah but you do great work Billjr. Hint (for billjr) you could look at making a new peg bracket that just lowers pegs and then hook me up LOL!! Also as far as floorboards look on ebay. They have several sets of the brushed star boards with mounts for under $200. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=011&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=320267880344&rd=1 Also look for the Kuryakyn Iso Boards ($175 or so) and all you will need is to buy the adapter for your Roadstar ($22) and your around $200 and they nice and shiney chrome. Or look at the Kuryakyn miniboards for under $100.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/15 23:05 By Goodygood.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #109242 billjr (User) RIDE LIKE YOUR INVISABLE!!!!!!!!!!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1118 Re:passenger floorboards 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Hey goodygood, I did make some that raise the pegs to releive the preasure off of the back of the wifys legs and it give her more than one position, but they only work with the factory floorboards or solo. Here is the thread with some pics, Im going to take some better ones and post them. http://roadstarclinic.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,187/func,view/catid,61/id,106672/   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #109243 Goodygood (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 168 Re:passenger floorboards 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Looks good bill. I am looking at getting her floorboards and quit being such a tight*** but hey I want my exhaust first LOL!! Also need to switch out springs to progressive. Would it be hard to make a bracket to replace the stock bracket and lower the pegs?? I just dont have the tools on hand that I have said for years I need to get but have not. And now I am busy spending $$$ on bike so the tools are on hold LOL!! I need to make a backrest for me since I got screwed on the one I bought from ebay that ended up pushing me to far forward. Might copy this design for the back rest bracket...   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
