- February 24, 2014, 18:51:26 PMproblem with the boards is I saw a set and really liked them but have never seen them anyplace, and to top it off could never find the picture again, so it is a matter of just waiting the right ones to fall in my lap or at least to hunt them up......I have the time.......

Maybe GB would make me a set or handy man 49 . I'd ask Troll , but one doesn't want to shake the bear

- February 24, 2014, 14:48:44 PM Well got a call today from the seat guy, and because he is almost caught up on his work in snow machine seats he is going to start on my seat this week and said it should be a couple days and it would be done.
project #8 is off the list because of the windscreen like I said.
project #11 is on hold still because GreenBarn is not helping me......
project #13 and 14 still working on just having a really hard time finding the parts......
so we are moving along and once the snow is gone we will be ready......

- January 18, 2014, 21:30:23 PMWell, I tried my darndest to find you something you'd like from the swap meet.... Unfortunately all they had were HD floorboards...
I was going to suggest these: http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/4026/ISO-Driver-or-Passenger-Boards-for-Metric-CruisersBut I like the looks of the ones Troll found better. I don't see how they mount on an 800 Drifter, though, do you?? I don't see anything that goes where the footpeg comes off....
As far as buying them for you, well... Probably not... 
Not that I wouldn't LIKE to.
