Someone ask about these on my bike...

Someone/several have ask about these. I have had these on my bike and they work great. They are more like a floorboard and are comfortable. They adjust in two directions too. They also fold up for to allow you to get in close places. There cheap compared to other foot rest. I have had them for two yrs now and they work and look great. Not covered in rust as I first thought they would be. I ride in rain and wash my bike with water and then blow it off with a $25.00 electric leaf blower from Wally World.

 

Update : I called JC Whittney and talked to customer service specialist. She looked up all the product Sku # difference in the two and they are exactly the same. So why is the price difference I said. Her answer is that the price changed with another factory order and they never changed or updated it on the Webb site.

So order this and save $10.00 ,

Mel, you can see it as soon as you click on the link I posted. But I added picture anyway, because I know we have rules around here. They look kinda cheap, not really chrome look, but kinda aluminum like. I was worried that they would just rust badly, but they did not. And here is a picture just for you too.

:thumbsup2::thumbsup2:

Thought you might have a pic of them (it) mounted on your bike.

Ok Mel. Sorry I misunderstood. I will try and get that done tomorrow evening for you. It never even crossed my little mind at all that you wanted bike pictures, my bad.

Mel has no imagination..... :rotf::rotfl:

Well, some guys' imaginations allow them to think that they are humorous.

By the way, thanks for the pics, I just wasn't able to perceive how they look when attached, probably due to lack of imagination. :think: One of the first things to go at my age.:grandpa:

Had them two years, love 'em and at 50 bucks what more can you ask?

 

BTW my leaf blower was 5 bucks at a yard sale 5 years ago works great (beats the 200+ for the Master Blaster)

 

I did that to, but no such luck here. It died after one small use.

Don't blame you a bit Mell. I would have done the same thing and I am 47 yrs old. I just did not even think of pictures with bike.

 

My imagination and assuming things has gotten me in trouble several times. If you do not believe me, then ask my wife. My wife seems to think that everyone can understand her with only bits and pieces of the puzzle. "You should be able to figure the rest out on your own", she says. :starz:

Ok Mel, got you some pictures.

Is there any issue with the boards "spinning" on the crash bar? I guess I need to know that they are "solid" and don't move around when you rest the full weight of your legs on them.

No, they only pivot up to let you through some tight places. Once set back down,there is a stopping point and they do not move past that point. They do not spin in any way after tightening them down. You may adjust them to suit your fancy. I have mine set so that my feet and heels sit flat on the boards. They have never moved once after I got them adjusted.

 

You would want to adjust them while you where wearing your riding boots. I found this out the hard way because I first adjusted mine with my work boots on. I had to readjust for my harness riding boots. These boards are made of some sort of aluminum alloy. The mounting studs are steel and chromed.

I totally agree!! I had a set of these that were used on another bike when I bought the Venture. I temporarily used them (I thought) on the Venture while the Kuryakyn Longhorns were being shipped. After adjusting the "new" longhorns a dozen times trying to fnd the comfort zone----I decided "Purty" is not always comfortable. The J C Whitney boards are back on to stay! I did change the clamp that mounts the boards to the engine guard because there was no clearance between the big clamp that came with the boards and the lower flaring.

Fuzzy,

 

What's the ROAD RAGE thingy?

 

That is part of my speaker system. It is the booster, can not remember the wattage. It works great, part of a full speaker kit that I put on my bike. This is the only place I could find room for it and also keeps it dry. It is vell-croed in place there. So far has worked well for past two yrs.

Fuzzy, The Road Rage Box, Kinda think we might need one of those.............WHAT IS IT????:think:

Part of my speaker system, the booster, not sure of the watts without looking it up on e-bay. It is a good system so far. The speakers mount on your handle bars. I have had and used for two yrs in the rain and washing and all. No problems... Not loud enough for me with just a small cheap MP3 player. But with the GPS built in MP3 and more expensive MP3 players, the system is very very loud.

Thanks Fuzzy,

I sorta thought it might be some kind of a gizmo to counter "Road Rage", which I suppose it is.

 

Playing "Bluegrass" loud and clear would calm about any irate or angry person!:banana:
