Don't hold it against me, but I just got in my ebay special passenger floorboards from HongKong. Sorry I don't have hundreds of dollars to drop on these right now, so I've settled for some under $100. I'll install them this weekend but wow the underside of them looks like the inside of a tin can :-( Just wondering if it would be ok to ride with them down all the time or would that be awkward.

The only problem you may have is running them into the back of your calf once in a while when rolling the bike around. The only way to find out is try it.

I get the money issue, but there are certain parts I would wait and save up for rather than skimp and pegs / floorboards are on that list for me.

Just sayin'; if the underside looks like crap.......

For about $60 more you could have a set of Kury Premiums that look very nice folded up.

Get a piece of rubber, cut it to size, and glue it to the bottom of each board. Another idea would be to paint the bottoms the same color as your bike so it's not as noticeable. How about this.....turn them upside down. Get a quart of fiberglass resin, mix in blue. Pour it into the boards bottoms. Let it dry.

I thought about the paint but figured it would wear out. Thanks for the idea to cut a piece of rubber out. That will work!! My bike came with nice front floorboards already, I just needed some for the wife when we go out from time to time. I couldn't spend too much money because lets just say I already have with other things for the bike, lol. thanks

Why not spray the underside of the boards with black - or any color you want - plastidip?

My Cobra rear floorboards are beautiful on the bottom and look great flipped up.
That's what you get for hundreds of dollars.
Overpriced, if you ask me.

But... I never flip them up.
Ever. lol

Ride with them down. No one will care.

I've got Cobra's too but I have to fold them up or I bang my legs on them. On the Aero I had I just painted the bottoms and it lasted OK and looked a lot better.

Ride with one up and one down. What should I do??? My floorboards are ugly on the bottom!!!?? Really?

 

[jjizhere]

Problem solved, kinda... I installed them today and guess what?? I can't flip them up anyway cause they hit the shock. so ... down they will be. I took a ride and my legs are now where near these things. The wifey will try them out this weekend but I'm happy with the way they look. pic

They look just fine. I hope the wife enjoys them.

You could set your beer on them when she's not riding with you.
