Well, my wife wanted floor boards for her bike but after looking around and the prices ranging from $400-$1000. I decided to construct a set of my own. These ended up costing me about $50 nojoke to make and have a steel frame made out of 1"x1"x.100 square tubing and the plates are made from 3/16" aluminum. I purchased it all from a local metal supplier. My wife's Spyder already had some aftermarket highway pegs installed so I just bolted the front of the floor board bracket to them by using a piece of 1-1/4" angle iron and painted everything with textured Tremclad paint. For the plates, I used a couple of pieces of 1/4" plywood as a template and made sure that I had the shape I wanted. Here you can get as fancy as you want but it takes more time to shape. I used the template on the aluminum as a guide when I borrowed a friends plasma cutter to cut the shapes. You can also use a jig saw but I had access to a plasma cutter so I took advantage of it. I then used an aluminum grinding disc in my hand held grinder to shape the final shape. They turned out pretty good and the main thing is she loves them. :yes::yes:
