Each leg has two pieces; we
have a mount that attaches
directly to the bike and a leg
that mounts to this piece. This
new mounting system is
MUCH stronger that Harley’s
floorboard mounts.
Find the mount as shown at
left, and (2) 3/8X1” Allen head
screws. Put a touch of Red
Loctite on the threads of the
screws and mount the bracket
to the bike (The letter ‘L’
should be readable, not upside-down… The ‘L’ is on BOTH Pieces… The two parts are
identical… The ‘L’ does NOT stand for ‘LEFT’). We are using a long, ball-end Allen bit
through the holes in the plate, but a hand Allen wrench can work just as well. These bolts need
to be very tight, because it is difficult to get to them once the leg system is installed.
Next we want to attach the leg system. First
gather 2 5/16-18 X 7/8” button-head bolts with
Nylock nuts and (2) 5/16 X 7/8” Hex Head
bolts with Nylock nuts. Make sure you have the
correct leg, raise it up to the plate you just
mounted and insert the button-head bolts into
the top holes. This should support the heavy leg
system. Install the two Nylock nuts to these
bolts (Ben is shown tightening the top bolts at
right). Do NOT get these very tight quite yet!
Now install the two hex heads into the lower
holes. If you have trouble getting to the back
hole, get the front one in place first, with its nut
attached, then you should be able to pull the leg down
to line up the back bolt. Once all the bolts and nuts
are in place, slowly snug them all down. Two ½”
wrenches are used on the bottom bolts as shown here.
Once you heave the bolts completely tight, give the
leg a good tug; it should be one with the bike!
Let’s mount the floorboard!
