Floorboards Tips
 Back to Tips
 

Kuryakin

• The right-side motor crash bar clearance prevents installation of the securing clamp. Left-side clearance is ok. Any suggestions?
    
• Mine went right on, move it forward or backwards to clear bar.
    
• Tried that, no luck. The crash bar-motor clearance is different from left compared to right sides. I'm wondering if the crash-bar can be adjusted. If not, I'll have to find boards that use thinner bar clamps.
    
• If those clamps are the hindged ones,just remove the retaining clip,remove the pin,seperate the halfs,and now everything should go together
   
• Removing the hinge pin and splitting the clamp did the trick

Riser Kit

• Someone on the GWRRA board said that the passenger floorboard riser kits for the 1500 Interstate and Aspencade will work on the 1800. Might be worth looking into?
    
• Try kuryakyn transformer boards for the passenger, they work great, and let the co-rider change foot position. she'll appreciate them on a long or short trip.

Broken Foot Peg

• While riding last week, I stood on the footpegs to clear a traffic > bump, and I got quite a surprise! The left footpeg came completely off, dumping me back on the seat. > > On inspection, I found the footpeg mount casting had broken clean into 2 parts. Half the bracket was still screwed to the frame, the other half (with the footpeg) was lying in the road. The bike hasn't been dropped and there's no evidence of anything ever having impacted the peg or mount. Looks like a bad casting, with a clean, lengthwise fracture. I do recall evidence of a small fracture when I cleaned the bike last week but didn't think much of it at the time. I called my local dealer (120 miles away), and they asked to see the bike to provide a warranty replacement. I asked how I was to get the bike to them, and they said I could drive it in. I'm not comfortable with that (2+ hours including I-25 without a left foot peg!) not to mention it kills a full day for me to get a bike back to Albuquerque. After some discussion, I agreed to ship them the mount, they would inspect it, and then ship me a replacement.
