Hi Bear ,how in the dickins are ya mate. Haven't got around to floor boards yet,they can be quite expensive . Cobra's are a nice one but one of the dearer but if you are after cheapies old ebay has them there from China for around $150 i think . Qiulity is not as good as one would expect but still would work good. When i get a set i think i would go with the splined ones sso you can get the right angle for your feet. www.mototourinc.com/mototourinc_files/vt750-shadow-driver-floorboards.htm Don't mind the look of these will have to ask Simon how much he could do me a set. ;D Whoops here i go again ;D . Price please SIMON. Cheers Ray

Thanks Simon looks like a wish list item for now. I reckon some one here in Aussie should start doing this stuff,manufacturing i mean so we can get a cheaper product. Nothing against you here Simon i know the risks involved and transport cost that you guys have to meet . Just me rambling on i suppose . ;D I suppose if it could be done it would have already been done. Cheers Ray

The problem with manufacturing parts in Australia is that there isn't a large enough customer base to warrant the cost of design and manufacturer. We have some parts in the design phase at the moment and the only reason they have gone that far is that nobody else in the world offers them and we are hoping that the world wide sales will be able to justify the expense. Not to mention it has be done cheap enough so that it can be priced at a level that even with shipping to the other side of the planet it's still an attractive purchase option for people.
