Title: Rear Floor Boards with Crash Bars
Post by: wildfire7104 on April 16, 2011, 09:29:13 AM
Hi,  I need some help here to solve a problem.  I have a 2004 1500 Drifter with front and rear crash bars.  I want to remove the rear foot pegs and replace them with rear floor boards.  The rear crash bars lower mounting bracket attaches to the bolt from the foot peg so I will need a set of floor boards that mount as the foot peg mounts.  Can anyone help or give me any information on where I can get a set to replace my foot pegs with and retain the rear crash bars.  Thanks for any help.  Wildfire

I have kuryakyns on mine - mounts with single point adapter. They work, but I had to mess with it to keep it from turning.

Don't know if bars will impact installation.

I follwed this (http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/floorboardadapter.html (http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/floorboardadapter.html)) and it worked well.  I opted to change the shape of the mount you make to a "T" shape, and I made it from steel.  It moved the floorboards down about 1 1/2" and forward about the same.  It leaves the area around the stock peg mount wide open.  Don't know if it'll work for you, but there it is.

yeah, that's a much more secure method than the single point kury adapter IMHO.
