Hey guys was at the church parking lot practicing for my up comming motor jock test at the department. Draggin floor board and full lock turns,and other test movements.I noticed that my right floor board on the brake side had started to move up and down in the rear.
Got to the house and during further looking into it noticed that where the blk floor board mounts go into the square flange on the frame and bolt up. There is a large weld in the front by the down tube and then at the rear it has a cheesey single spot weld, Well guess what it broke causing the whole board on the rear to move and not be solid mounted. I've got it moved back out into the right position and now looking into a welding shop to help weld it up. Just wondering if you guys might of had this happen to your bike or what ??? solution you might have done??? Help is needed!!! Will post a photo later of damage.
Was wondering if this is only a problem on the evo frame or what???
I drag mine on occasion and I've not had this issue. I would like to see a pic though, to verify that I am looking at the correct space. Are you boards mounted up as high as they'll go? Mine are, because my bike lowered about 1.5" front and rear.
My boards are in the midlevel since the bike is at stock height. Was wondering if it's just the evo chasis that has this problem or what? Going later this week to have it welded up enjoy the pics.
Welding on harleys is pretty poor. I had the plate that the shifter mounts crack the welds (tacks) where it attached to the frame...easy TIG weld fix....
