I had originally planned on some Kuryakin footrests but had these chrome ones so, being frugal and all......

Then a guy buys my FJR last night and there's a little extra capital floating around so it's back to Plan A....maybe even some little footboards if I can find the right ones. Kuryakin makes some nice, already black, stuff!

Maybe use a little of that fresh coin to buy a new radiator for my truck.....found out yesterday that it's leaking!! If it isn't one thing.........

okay; What's the concensus??? And who's got to pay for it??

check out all the home made floorboards in the mods section, they are cheap and fairly easy to make and look pretty good. unless you want to spend a pile of money( not that theres anything wrong with that). you seem like a very capable person

Great minds coz!! I was out in the shop this afternoon cutting up pieces of cardboard for my mock-ups!

Think I'll move them a little farther forward, outside the air dam wings (or whatever they are)....being 6' 5" I need to stretch pretty far forward to work the kinks out. Also thinking the Street Magic brackets and links will give 2 good strong mounting points for the floorboard edge....we shall see

[coz]

that's exactly what i did. mock up in cardboard, then start chasing materials and hardware. rock on

[dannymax]

I put the pegs back on yesterday and went for a little ride to see how they fit....didn't like them at all, not comfortable on the back. So today I mocked these up, they seemed more comfortable but it's too cold for riding so I'll have to wait a while before I know. If they work well I'll do them up nice and permanent. Figure my boots might be close to the red panel so there's a couple peices of 'snakeskin' knee gripper on the bottoms....hopefully that will protect the tupperware.

[coz]

you are REALLY stretching out. i would like forward controls out around there. what kind of console protector is that?

[dannymax]

Yeah, I know....I'm having a bit of a hard time finding a comfortable spot to stretch out on. These are only plywood so if they don't work it's not a big deal but I'm running out of position options....

It's a Techspec protector, I got them for the FJR but have been cutting them up for peices on the Spyder. There are a couple peices under the Can Am decal on the black plastic also.

[coz]

i know what you mean, i would like my feet up near the oil tank and the fan. maybe if they were lower you could stretch out without going farther forward.

That's the perfect spot, where the oil tank & fan are! Yeah, lower might work....I'm trying to use the Street Magic brackets but maybe that's not gonna happen, thanks for the idea.

The only time I've been as horizontal as that while travelin' was when my wife was drivin' the RV.
