rear floor boards LC1500 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

4dtvman · 09-19-2006, 08:41 PM

Does any know where I can get a pair of passengers floor boards that doesn't break the bank.

Note the the OEM brackets are rotated about 30 degress not straight up and down and I have rear foot peg exitions now and would like to add it to them if possible.
Oem are about $225

Well I have the Kuryaken rear floor boards but I will tell you that I am not happy with them. In fact I have even contemplated replacing them with Suzuki OEM floorboards.

Here lies the problem. The Kuryaken ones rely on one little screw to keep them from pivoting when the passenger climbs on board. There have been instances that they have workeds themselves loose while "J" was climbing on and they pivoted foreward. NOT GOOD!!!! I have them as tight as I can get them now but I fear that at anytime they will do it again.

I hear that the OEM boards do not do that. Oh and for the record,, I paid well over $200.00 for the Kuryaken boards. I think Suzuki's is cheaper priced.

Put some screw lock on them. Even the manuel recommends this on many of the bolts on the bike. I would try that before I totaly chunk them.

Stp1971 before throwing them away what would you sell them for. Take a picture and email to me.

stp1971 · 09-20-2006, 08:39 AM

I have not totally decided on what to do about that. But if I decide to go out and get the Suzuki ones then I will definitely let you know and I will post them in the for sale section on here. The Suzuki ones are a little lower and further forward as well. So with "J"s longer legs it might be good for her.

Give me a heads up if you post them because I don't check too often

stp1971 · 09-20-2006, 11:33 AM

Well I broke down and bought cobra which I just installed along withe the J brackets which lowers the floor board about 2 1/2 inch and bring them out about 1 inch and my wife loves them. Enclosed you'll see two pictures one up and the other down.

stp1971 · 09-25-2006, 09:33 AM

Wow,, those look cool!!!! Wonder if they make a bracket to lower the ones I have???? I looked at the factory ones again. "J" said that she would be fine for now and to save the money for Daytona. I may change them later but one thing "J" said is if her legs are lower than they may be in my way at times...hmmm....will have to think on that.

Those J bracket were on there when I bought the bike they had the oem foot pegs on them. Me and my wife went out yesterday and she loved them with the extra lenght. I did notice them a little when I was pushing the bike backwards but not a problem.

AZRyder · 09-25-2006, 09:53 AM

4dtvman · 09-25-2006, 07:06 PM
