Need pics of passenger footrest

[Dano]

Need some pics of an installed passenger footrest on a 1st gen. Preferably in the raised position. They took mine apart for chroming and I don't think I got all the parts back. I believe there must be a spring or something in there to keep it from flopping around.

If someone could help me out, my Navigator would appreciate it!

Hey Dan,

I can send pics of an MKII passenger footrest but aren't they different on the MKI? By the way, what did it cost to get those footrests chromed? Did you get it done on the East Coast? If you want the MKII pics, let me know.

Jeff said if there the ones we gave you at MD they didn't have the spring. And they do flop around. Oh and Jeff wants to see your pics now that there chromed.

OK, thought I was losing my mind (even more than usual!). They just seem really loose like they need something to tighten them up. Tell Jeff I said thanks again!

 

Earl, I got them chromed at a place down in Cincinnati. Cost about a hunderd bucks, then I taped the "rim" up and sprayed about 6 coats of bedliner on the foot area for some grippage. Send me some pics and I'll compare to yours.

 

As soon as I can get this camera to upload again, I'll post some pics. Figure I better get them on there before MD!

 

Oh yeah, picked up a Menards/Sears clamshell trailer from a local guy this week cheap, so now I gotta get that hitch built! I figure even tho I have the rear chrome bumper setup on there now, it shouldn't be too hard.

Dano- on a 1300 ,there is a "spring / ball" that falls into the notch, up or down. 1200's I do not remember.

Had to take the camera into the wifes computer to download, then email to me then come out and upload. Other pics are new bling for the bike.

Those look just like my Markland's on my bike. I believe there is about a 1/4 inch bolt the pad pivots on. I just tighten the bolt until there is sufficent resistance to keep it snug,

Your bike is looking great. The boards turned out really nice.

 

I'm not familiar with the First Gens, but could you maybe use a nylon washer as a spacer when you put the floorbaords on? That way you could tighten them up and the nylon would give enough resistance and still allow you to raise and lower the board.

 

Just a thought, and I'll shut up now.

If I remember correctly there's a spring and ball that ride in the detents of the hinge. I took mine apart and just gave them the pieces when I had mine buffed out.

Oops, didn't realize they were Marklands. Disregard previous statement.

Went to Meijers last night and picked up some toilet bowl rubber washers, works like a charm! Picked up a couple of rubber door stoppers to install on the footboard rest to raise it a little and keep it from making any noise.....

 

 

 

OK, let the 2nd genners begin...............................

What in the hell are you doing with a Metzler on that bike

If you need a pattern to build yours from, ask Rocket to send a couple of pics of his hitch. He hasnt installed it yet, and he has the bumper on his 83.

Thanks Brian, I'll PM him and see if I get some action. Gotta try to get the hitch done by Friday night, going camping this weekend, wanna try and pull the trailer to get used to it.

 

Hey Squidley, them Metz's have been on there about 2 years, got almost 8,000 miles on 'em. But I can guarentee they won't be replaced by Metzlers, probably go with Venoms. Can't afford to change right now. The front's excellent condition, the rear is showing wear down the middle. Keep the air up, don't try to do anymore dirt track riding! I thought you knew I had them on there.
