I read with interest another thread that talks about scraping footboards and even scraping the engine gaurd!!.

I too have a lot of wear on my footboards after just 5500 miles and I was wondering if anyone had made or bought hero ***** for their boards. I was going to make a skid style one but if someone sells something then I will just buy it as time isnt on my side lately.

For those who dont know what I am talking about have a look at the footpegs on a dyna or sportster or sport bike they have a 3/8" pin sticking off the bottom that touches the road before the peg. If you scrape them you are a hero, hence the name.....

 

I don't know about all that but if you put some magnesium (sp?) under there you throw some cool sparks.

 

I already throw some cool sparks, according to my mates behind me. But footboards are expensive!!

I was behind a CVO softail springer on the Oxley hwy a few weeks back, man, his frame was throwin some good sparks too!!

 

I have always looked at footboards as wearable item,once they become to sharp time to look for replacements.Have been thinking about skid pads.

 

mmm, might be a niche market here. Off to the workshop.....

 

If you ain't scraping you ain't riding.

 

Especially on a SG .

 

If you make something that works and is pretty cheap... I'm interested!
