Hi All:
Anybody using the 14" Banana Boards on their bike?
They look thinner than the stock spring boards and I was wondering if they
mount higher than stock giving more cornering clearance or
lower down which would give more foot room on the top.
Thanks for your input
Hurry up. Spring!!!

Anyone. Been considering these as well.

 

Definately thinking of them myself. One awesome example are the boards on HoggyMtnBreakdown's bike. He has one very sweet Fatboy and the boards look amazing, although they may be the larger Banana boards (19" I think). Check his bike out. I didn't want to take the liberty of posting pics of his bike.

 

Thanks for the plug, phatboy! LOL. Means a lot.

I actually have the 19" boards, so I can't speak for the 14s. I think they do mount a little higher, but mine tend to scrape on corners toward the rear, being longer and all. When the scrape however, it's not as unnerving (unless you're **** about keeping them nice on the underside) as the stock boards, since they ar more solid. The 14s are probably a better choice for practicality's sake. I have to either wear really sharp-toed boots or put kick stand extender on to get my kickstand down. Otherwise, I have reach down and use my hand...

Edit:
Here's a pic, if anyone's interested. It's a crappy one, but it's the best I could do from work right now...
