Floorboards On A Breakout
I put this in the Everything thread, but I wanted to post it in the regular forum in case others wanted to see/do it on theirs.
I had to order new brackets between the frame and the boards, a new brake arm and pedal, the boards, and the nuts/bolts that mount them to the brackets. Everything else works with the stock parts. The kickstand is a bastard to get to when it is up, but not terrible to get with your foot to put it back up when it is down. The exhaust is also very close to the board so I will have to watch my boot and pant leg on that side.
Yes, I know it is going to scrape more in corners, but I have a ShotgunShock, so I will just air it up in the mountains.
The boards feel a lot more comfortable sitting on the bike. I have not had a chance to ride it yet, but I will soon.

looks better than I though it was going to while reading your post. I had to change my pegs on my Blacklne to the bicycle style peals as my work boots wanted to ride off the end of my old round pegs. You always come with great stuff for your scooters.
