Ya know, I thought/think the same thing. Then I went to Webo's link to the Yaffe products, and he lists one product as "Floor Boards", and the next product as "Foot Board". I ain't tellin' him . . . YOU tell him!

Lol... Even Yaffe is calling them Floor board... Those wedgy boards are really nice in all black and for a hard mounted unit the rubber does a pretty good job isolating the vibrations.

if you go with something solid, make sure that they are not tilted out at all, or you'll find your feet constantly vibrating off the outside edge.

my Panheads have all had solid boards

Something happened in my slacks when I saw your pan. I will be delving into your garage for other photos.
