When they scrape the sound is satisfying enough but I would like to get more sparks.

I read that adding a titanium bolt to the bottom may improve the visual. Has anyone tried this?

 

Just lean over more.

 

LOL... No ****!

 

Funny post

 

You do get more sparks when the frame hits but that is really unsettling.

I was actually going to look for titanium bits for my own floorboards as well.

I scraped mine for the first time a couple of days ago. That was at slow speed turning onto an on ramp. Guess I don't ride that hard yet. Are you scraping at speed through curves or at low speeds similar to what I did? I've read comments from others saying the floorboards will pivot up so you don't have to worry, but mine seem really stiff. Takes alot of effort to raise them by hand and the same to push them back down again. Does anyone loosen the bolts a little so they pivot more freely?

 

You're gonna have to lean pretty far to get the bolts holding the floorboards to scrape...
