I'm interested to see how you make out. I've had a set of California Floorboards sitting on the shelf for about 10 years now. After buying them, I read somewhere that the heel shiftier can' be used with the Cali boards. I guess I could have checked it out for myself but I haven't got around to it yet.

Appreciate any advice.

Update...(sorry for the delay but, it's never too late!)
The floorboards are a smooth bolt-on and do not interfere at all with the heel shifter.
Here's a pic:

Not far from Gibsons and I've been to Molly's reach many times, although it's been a few years I'm sure if it's still there now.

What I was thinking, though, is I need to start buying more bikes for future grandchildren......

........because that's the wise move to make, huh?

Actually one for each of them.... someday...

So the 800 is now Connor's ride? Kody bought his own because you were not buying it for him...lol......or is the Missus going to start to ride?

I like the way you think.....

You could be like GB and say to the Missus, "but honey I already have the floor boards now just need to buy the rest of the bike"........

Or maybe, I could say to her: "I've just purchased a gift for our son's 18th birthday... I know he's only 5 now, but the bike's value just increases year after year!"

Or, it could be like someone I know finding me a tool box (...it came wrapped in Blue)

Thanx a lot, folks.
I'm gonna try to purchase those floorboards and see: if they shouldn't be the same as for the 800, well, I could ever find a 1500 Drifter and buy it...

My wife told me I could only afford one bike too

ok so you are make play that card.....I so wanted to be nice to you after your birthday prank was so much fun, now to have to show the lovely Mrs GB some of your posts and how you blame her........oh you naughty lad.

So can you take a 1500 and swap it out with a 1500 is the easy question ..........get it done young man......

Well now if I had a 800 and a 1500 out in my garage I would walk out there and measure and see if they are the same, that seems really simple to me. For the 10 mins it would to take off one from the 1500 and off the 800 especially if I was already working on one of them I would see how hard it would be to swap one for the other. Seems easy enough to me, but I only can afford to own one bike...........

My wife told me I could only afford one bike too....
SO where do you think I've been the last 10 minutes...

I looked at both and they indeed appear identical (at least the right side)...

I haven't compared them side by side, but don't remember seeing any differences. If Bike Bandit is any indication should fit right on.

Troll · April 26, 2015, 11:10:05 AM

Bike bandit lists them as the same part number for 800 and 1500

mittico68 · April 26, 2015, 08:18:32 AM

Ok,now it's my time to make a dumb question...But as I've been told once, if you don't try you won't ever know...
So, I've found a pair of california's style floorboards and I'd really like to get them for ma-deuce.
The only problem is that the seller says they'll fit only the 1500's Drifters and, as far as I know, there's a lot of difference among 1500 and 800 floorboard's attachment.
Could anybody tell me if the adaptation is doable without too much trouble?
Thanx.
