Floorboards for K9s

[knothead]

I really like what u guys did...damn good idea....now u give me a good idea for the wife cause she has trouble with the rear pegs but of course both are ridgid bikes so bumps are a bitch for her and i understand that...going to have to look into this and see about fixing her up with floor boards..

Well just found these on ebay and just ordered a set for both bikes offered 60.00 and they accepted...clevis stud rotate and clamps with 4 allen bolts so u can rotate to the way she will like them

Those look the same @Letbigdogintocanada has.

Nice job. How’s vibration in the floorboards compared to the pegs? I move my foot around a lot due to vibration in my pegs.

Good Q Unsprung. Yesterday I noticed that instead of all vibration coming through the arch of my foot, it is distributed across the sole of my boot instead. I think it helps, and of course you can move your foot around several inches on the gloorboard.

Yeah they r the same as his...will know soon if they work good for her...supposedly they will be delivered monday

Be interesting to see how bad they scrap in the turns. You and Roger should of road down the Pig Trail to test them out. Let us know how they work in tight turns

Thanks for the feedback Rick. Being vertically challenged, I do not have a lot of room to change position, (I do move my feet to the rear pegs at times). This may be an option though.

Conclusion: We arrived home on Friday after a three day 1,500 mile trip to the TX Hill Country. I think the floorboards are one of the best mods ever, and I am confident that the Bulldog Bagger floorboards (from Shovelheadkicker) would apply to any current model of BDM. Again, installation is easy, by drilling a new pilot pin hole in the clevis for correct floorboard mounting angle. The quality of the floorboards is the best. The fit and finish of black and chrome is absolutely gorgeous.
I didn’t didn’t scrape a floorboard at all, but Blacktopper did once while we were riding the 3 Twisted Sisters. I would add that since we were unfamiliar with the route (and it is quite varied) we weren’t pushing the envelope.
IMHO the floorboards add a level of comfort equivalent to a new seat. It is easy to move your feet around several inches, and the vibration is decreased because leg weight leg is distributed across the sole of your boot instead of the arch of your foot on the footpeg.
The Bulldog Bagger floorboards are on the K9 to stay.

Well i just got them put on the blue bike for the wife....had to do a little sanding on the nylon peg bolt spacers cause they didnt machine the cavity on the floor boards deep enough but just took a few minutes...got her out here to set them the way she wanted the angle and she loves them....HAPPY WIFE HAPPY LIFE....THANKS GUYS FOR THE IDEA ..BIG DOG RIDGEBACK RIDER FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the review on floorboards and I'm happy y'all got a great ride in before the deluge hit.

We were bummed out to miss you and Eric in Dallas too. But with Dallas expecting over an inch of rain Saturday, we figured it was better to ride hard form a couple of days than to ride cold and wet.
Looking forward to caring you at the Gathering and at Mastiff Dave’s for the Fayetteville Rally

Till this post I would have said "no way", however for the long rides to looks like a great way to go...

You get these yet?
How'd they install, good, bad, not at all?
Curious minds want to know.

Glad you and Roger had a safe trip and were able to miss the rain. Were the Sisters as good as expected?

If I keep my K9, I might invest in a set of these. Thanks for sharing the pictures and info

Glad you and Roger had a good trip and missed all the rain. Sounds like the floorboards are the way to go. And I think they still look good on the bike

Yep—Wed evening we knew we were headed for a soaking if we waited. How much rain did you acatually get on Sat?

Like I said - y'all made the right call. It rained all day Saturday and flooded Sunday. There was about 5" here in Austin over the weekend. This ain't Houston - those are huge numbers for us here in the desert.
