Stock Floorboard Pan / Insert Question...

I am assuming that there is a lip going around the floorboard pan that holds the rubber insert in-place. Is this correct? If so, how high is this lip?

I am thinking about cutting a piece of hardwood and glueing it to the pan and then glueing the insert to the wood. Thoughts?

Thanks,

Frank

RE: Stock Floorboard Pan / Insert Question...

What bike art you modifying? I just changd my stock (2007 FLHTCU) floorboard inserts to Nostalgia inserts. They are held in by two rubber nipples underneath the floorboard pan. Pull up on the outer edge at the same time push the niple one at a time back through the hole on the bottom (underneath). You see that the inner edge is held in by conforming rubber (on the under side of the insert).

My thought.......
Not a good plan, the inserts are held in place byfour rubber studs on the ends of rubber *****(three outer on inner on a Glide rider insert). They are built this way to add vibration dampening to your feet while riding. (The insert "floats" on the rubber *****)

Buy solid mounting the wood and rubber you will be removing the dampening quality of the OEM Design.

I am trying to get an extra 3/4" (height) out of the floor board for a couple of months. This is only a temporary solution because my son will be able reach the floor boards in the spring. So, there is no lip around the edge of the floorboard?

Thanks,

no lip at all. Take a look from underneath. Its a flat pan with holes to accomodate the rubber grommets for the inserts.

Ok, I thought I knew what you were talking about until you threw your son in there, now I don't know whether you're talking about the rider boards or the passenger boards. Either way; are you aware that both can be adjusted. The passenger boards can be moved (I believe) up or down a 1/2 inch. The rider boards are usually in the lower position and can be raised (again I think) about 3/4" or 1".
