Posts: 9758 10/01/08 7:37 AM	Wow...these got my vote. They look good! Tell me something. When they are folded into the upright position is there some kind of detent that holds them in the upright? In other words I'm wondering if when folded upright will then stay there or could they flop down with a good bump? PS you handle this photo assignment beautifully. How about one more photo standing back so that we see the whole bike in the photo. Thanks in advance. alepel "Ride with the Spirit always, and in all ways"....hombldr

HSATF Tail Gunner Posts: 223 10/01/08 12:21 PM	I could not "see" an actual detent, but they do not flop down, nor have they while riding alone, not that I have them up very often. I'm still having good weather here in Richmond BC, so I just keep them down as my wife and I are out each evening after she gets home form work. Ride a little, and stop somewhere for a little bite or a coffee. I've posted pictures of my bike in the T photo group already, or look in my profile in the oimage photos.

There are two spring loaded nylon balls in the body of the board that will snap into the two dimples to hold it in the upright folded position. I think Stan made a post a long while back about replaceing the worn nylon balls. The button head hardware looks nicer than the standard hex bolt that came with the Cobras. These look good, the price is right, and they still make them . Good find! Tony "Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations.

HSATF Tail Gunner Posts: 223 10/10/08 5:46 PM	OK, so the detents are built into the pivot pin, thats why I can't/didn't see them. I was looking for something more along the lines of an external ball or some spring steel, to act as the detent. Internal sounds better for the elements. It's still nice and my wife is pleased with them. Makes for a more comfortable ride for her as a passenger.

HSATF 1st Officer Posts: 963 10/17/08 10:29 AM	Wow, those do look just like the Cobras. The rubber pad is different and the adapter is black. Other than that, it looks the same! (except I paid over $200 for the Cobras ) Is that adapter machined out of one piece of steel? Looks like it is, but can't tell for sure in the pics. Nice! duke loud horns save lives

HSATF Tail Gunner Posts: 223 10/18/08 10:19 AM	From what I remember when I looked it over, was that it was one piece. I was trying to see how it was put together, and it seemed so simple, the mounting block, the floorboard and the pin going through them. The ebay listings usually start at $99, and he has at least one in with a 5 day auction, so you don't need to buy the first one you see. I would buy it again.

HSATF Tail Gunner Posts: 223 10/29/08 12:40 AM	As a follow up. My wife is complaining that one rest is lower than the other, to the point she feels her foot is slidding off. I've quickly looked at it, and one side does seem lower than the other (hard with out a center stand for leveling). Seems there is more space between the mount and the back of the peg from the bike. I'm thinking of some epoxy and washer at the back of the rest so it's slipped tightly into the peg with no clearance movement of the mount. A solution would be to make the mounting pin longer and then you would need to file/grind it back to fit within the bikes peg.

HSATF Tail Gunner Posts: 223 05/14/09 8:57 AM	As a follow up on the rear floor boards. Yesterday I noticed a big shinny plate on the back of my bike. It turned out to be the "new" floor board with the rubber removed. Seems I lost one on the drive into work. Must have peeled back in the wind stream. So I reached over and with my figure nail picked the other one out of the plate so I would loose that one and would also have a template to cut out some rubber to replace them both so they match. I have not contacted the seller yet, but I will and see what he can do about getting a replacement, since something like this shouldn't have happened, in only 3000 miles. Will keep you all informed. Gordon

Does anyone know the name of the company or where to purchase them ? Thanks. P.S. I'm thinking about getting rid of my 06 1300c for a Tourer for myself.
