Home made Floorboards


These are my homemade floorboards and they are strong, I weigh 245 lbs and there is no give on them. made out of 1/8 inch Diamond plate Aluminum 24inch long and 9 inches width. there are 4 bolts holding them in place. My :spyder2: looks good with them and very confortable.

Looks great, reminds me of the "Pups" by Sealfloor Boards.

Looks great! :2thumbs: I hope you have some kind of anti-slip spray/chemical on them. I know diamond plate can get very slick when wet. My Seal Floorboards have a layer of rubber that looks like diamond plating.

Gee... The DO look pretty sharp! :thumbup::shocked:

Homemade Floorboards

The Boards are mounted on a homemade bracket that after you raise the passanger board up and slide my bracket down in place than put the board back in place. Drilled 2 holes to bolt it to. I used a 1/2 square steel tube and cut 2 pieces 2 inches long and 2 pieces 1 1/2 inch long than weld the 2 inch at the end of the tube and come in 3/4 inch and weld the short one in place than drilled 2 holes for the bolts to anchor to. I painted them before installed.:spyder2::2thumbs:

And they can get very hot as well when the sun hits it, an excellent solar heater. And blinding. Of course your foot will be covering half of it. I used to work with this material a lot before I retired.

Pardon my confusion, but are Floyd and neelbert the same person? Or are we still waiting to see pics of neelbert's floorboards? Maybe I'm just suffering from Monday morning madness :dontknow::roflblack:

Hey Floyd, can you post a pic of the bracket you made to mount under the rear footrest?

I've seen these in person. Impressive. Floyd put all his weight up on one and it didn't budge. Very solid construction and from the back with the angle created from the install you can hardly tell they are even there. :thumbup: All kinds of foot positions to explore. Nice job brother!!
