hey Chainman, you got heated floorboards on that Sceamin Eagle Super cruiser???

I thought the way far north Florida thing was a dead give away, but for sure the space heater propped against the front fender with AC power cord and a million feet of extension cord sitting out of sight should have been a giveaway. LOL

it only goes to prove, there are a lot of genuinely thoughtful folks on this forum, even if the cold has temporally impeded their normal thought processes.

Me thinks they think your serious. But I like it.

I tried your setup and only had one really major hang-up. Although my feet and lower legs were quite toasty, when I got to the end of the 200' foot of extension cord, my ol' RK swung wildy to the right. I'm gonna work on that problem when the cast comes off in 9 weeks.

Not to steal your thunder, but an even better idea would be to install fiberglass lowers, and run your exhaust to them. You have a nice "pocket" to keep your feet warm, you are being "green" (by using a waste product ina productive manner), you are being energy concsious (byreclaiming wasted heat energy), and your feet will be toasty. I think they would give a nice throaty rumble also. The extra curves would also add more back pressure, which, after a tune would equate to more horsepower...
