FLOOR BOARD COVERS

Post by Lucasind »

....Been looking for a set of covers for some time now ,because I did'nt like the un-finished look of the passenger floorboards, when they were in the up position.



Wanted a set from Markland,that have the Kawasaki logo on them, but I knew they were obsolete,and was looking into some aftermarkets, and was having the dealer look into some that might fit the Vulcan line.
Got a p.m. from Carl last week,saying that he came across a set of oldies ,and did I want them. YES please send them to me, was my answer :!: So I got my
"care package" in the mail couple days later.

Image

Over the weekend , before getting started on the red Goldwing project , I thought I would look into installing the covers. After removing the floorboards from the bike and drilling the holes in the bottom side, I placed the covers on the floorboards to have a look,while still on the workbench, without the fasteners in place. A big gap that was present, looked bad.Part of the casting process left a point in the front corner, that needs to be removed to get a clean look.

Image

Chuck up a cutter into the ol dremmel tool, made short work of the problem!
Took the height down a bit, and made a inward taper.Now the piece is laying flat, and has a clean look, all away around the edge.

Image

Just a tip, if anyone else is thinking of getting these covers for their bike. Not necessary to be so A.R. :lol: but this is how I waste my spare time "noodling" around out in the garage....., anyway ,here's a look at the install......tony :-D

Image

MUCH BETTER !! , Now if we can talk G.KAP into making these :woohoo:

Had the wife plug one of the part numbers into bikebandit.com's website while I lay here on the couch surfing with my phone. About $43 for the one side she checked. I think the Vulcan ones have some contour to them. No Kaw badging though.

Unlike Chris, I sat up at my desk & looked at a few dealers. lol $33-$45 each. I'd think used ones could be found for half that..

After I installed those floor board covers that I got from Carl sometime ago...I went and did something different after that (see link).

I still have the covers shown in the first thread out in the shop somewhere, would have to look around for them.

The prices posted above are about right. One side was more expensive than the other side is all I remember. They have held up well over the years.
