One "caveat". On mine, the starboard side hangs at a slight outward angle. I'm gonna use a piece of metal strapping to make an L-shaped spacer to raise it a hair.

It's still very comfortable, but a shim will level it off nicely.

Surprised to see so much interest in floorboards. Tried them for awhile on my bike, and I decided they weren't for me. I've got long legs and I felt like I got more legroom with the regular pegs.

Now I've got mid-pegs mounted in addition to my forward pegs and controls, so I can use my forwards, or my mids, or as an alternate foot location my boots are big enough to span both pegs, which is pretty much exactly where those floorboard put my feet anyway. Personally I think this is a better solution than floorboards, especially as it gives me lots of options to move my legs around on long trips.

Sag is an easy fix. Drill and tap a hole on the stop at the bottom of the pivot, and put a 1/8" set screw in. The set screw will act as an elevated stop and eliminate the sag.

Isn't that the truth. I've got a pile of parts I've bought, used and taken back off of the bike that I've been meaning to catalog, picture, and write for sale ads for.... one of these days.

Man... I move my feet all over the place on my boards. Flat on the boards, just my toe on the back of the boards, my heel hooked over the front of the boards, feet stuck on the outside of the boards... that's why I like them so much.

Default I love these floorboards

I have them and love them. I ride over 30,000 miles a year with them on the bike. I can post a photo or you can find photos of them in use on my Facebook fan page. I have also gotten a lot of compliments on them. I also hand bells under them so I know when I am cutting hard and about to scrape some floorboards. They seem to take the wear from that pretty well and vibration is definitely dampened.
