    If you are handy, you can make your own. I modeled mine off the seal boards though I used aluminum diamondplate and stainless carriage bolts along with some hard black rubber to help cushion vibration. These are very sturdy and make for a much more comfortable seating position. Here are a few pix:

    No. Age and medical issues forced John's retirement and selling it was unsuccessful.

    Where did you find the thick rubber you used to dampen the vibration? Also, How long of a cartridge bolt did you use?

    Thanks!

    Rubber and the stainless carriage bolts came from Amazon. Aluminum diamondplate came from a local sheet metal shop, but could have been bought at Amazon I suppose. Carriage bolts were 1/2 in.-13 X 5 in., Grade 18-8 Stainless Steel. Rubber was: Jeweler's Solid Rubber Bench Block - 4" x 4". I cut it on a small bandsaw and drilled a 1/2" hole for the bolt as well as 4 smaller stainless bolts to mount the diamondplate.

    Rubber drilled:

    Yes, John had to give it up due to health and was unsuccessful in selling the business. As far as I know no one has picked up any his products, which is unfortunate. He had several pretty neat products.

    Unfortunately he posted last summer (June and July) that he was retiring, closing his web site and selling off his remaining inventory. After riding my wife's 2012 RTL equipped with Seal floorboards I convinced myself I'd like a set for my 2015 RT-L but it was too late. Ah well.
