Default Homemade footrests

I searched high and low for something to rest my heel on and still have foot on the highway peg.
I found myself "pressing" my foot on the peg after a few minutes and always felt like foot was gonna slide off..

Soooooo....... I made a set..........
Here is the pics
This is with 1" homemade floorboard extensions.

In the process of making a extended brake pedal and 1 1/2" floorbd exts...
Government job so don't tell anyone

Very nice work and the "government job" reference brings me back to a shop job I had many year ago. Guys were always taking some time to build all sorts of crazy stuff and if you asked what they were doing, they'd just say "goverment job".

BTW - are you heel rests AL or SS?

Made with Stainless steel and polished by hand using sandpaper from 180 grit all the way to 1500..
They were hand "beat" to get the heel shape, The holes are for coolness

They do sit a little below the floorboard but have not scraped them.. I've been on the dragon, and various roads like the dragon to "ops" check the scraping issue .............ALL GOOD
