2015 F3S BRP footboards angle mod

[spyderyderjim]

I used tree felling plastic wedges cut at 3" long x 2 1/2" wide x 1/2" thick raising front of footboards.
Gives a more natural/comfortable feet/ankle angle position.
(my F3S BRP footboards are in # 4 position).
Note: Angle mod probably works better in #4 or #5 position of F3 footboards.
Enjoy.

:clap: :congrats: on your creativity! :2thumbs:
But I'm having trouble getting it set in my mind as to how you put it all together... pps:
How about some more explanation?
Thanks!

Hi Bob,
Buy 2 each plastic tree felling wedges 2 1/2" wide x 5 1/2" long (Tractor Supply Co has them for $6 each).
Cut wedge 2 1/2" down & across (from top of wedge), which is 1/2" thick at the cut).
Remove the two 10mm bolts holding BRP footboard on, (using a 7mm allen head socket with breaker bar/ratchet).
Lay wedge on top of footboard mount with 1/2" wedge toward top edge, covering top bolt hole.
Lay footboard on top of wedge lining up top hole, mark top hole on plastic wedge, put wedge in a vise & drill 1/2" hole (only about 1/4" from inside edge).
Put wedge & footboard back on with bolt thru top hole, finger tight, tighten bolts evenly on lower bolt (use blue Loctite on threads), tighten both bolts.
For 2015 or 2016 F3 with footboards (mine are in #4 position).
Check photos in my above post for more clarity.

cool mod. I have the BRP F3 floorboards but like how they naturally sit without the wedges.
