Help with after market floor boards

crazy8smokey · 09-16-2011, 03:24 PM

What do you guys use ?
I bought these

http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/de...0_Vulcan_Nomad

And the adapters don't fit

What r my options? if any

cactusjack · 09-16-2011, 03:31 PM

I'm curious why you thought they would work in the first place? They appear to be a replacement for footpegs. I'm sure they can probably be made to work, but it might require some custom machine work.

Even if they fit they look like they would be slippery.

crazy8smokey · 09-16-2011, 04:13 PM

So I talked to cruiser customs and the sales man said they would fit with the right adapter.
they dont Im returning them

What other after market choices do I have ? What has anyone used, on this site?

this is one a option?

crazy8smokey · 09-16-2011, 04:14 PM

I think it's more of the same. These are designed to replace footpegs, not floorboards. If you look at the list of adapters, it doesn't list one for the Nomad. Very few bikes come stock with passenger floorboards, the Nomad is one of them that does.

Yes I am trying to replace foot board with foot board
Isnt that what the new options Im thinking about are ?
Hasnt anyone on this site replaced --or up graded their "floorboards driver & pass?" before

I use these covers over the stock boards,, you remove the stock rubber pad put these in place

Ive never heard of anyone ever replacing the foot boards with different ones. There is some chrome trim that is or was available to dress up the rubber on the stock boards.

Welcome to the shortcomings of aftermarket accessories for the Nomad. Been there many times myself.
