Running boards

[neilsleder]

Just thought I would put a few pictures of the running boards I built for the girlfriends M7. All they need is a bit of paint or powder coat. Not sure if I like the rear bumper, it might look better when the mud flap is on.

what have you got against your girl friend? I think the spacing might be a tad excessive. could get your feet caught up in that

 

[teamgreen]

That was my first thought, might be ankle breakers

I need a pair of those!!! My m7 boards turn into a block of ice every 5 minutes even with snow eliminators.... Is it steel or aluminum?

 

[neilsleder]

Nah she got big feet! Lol. I thought that too but it's not as bad as you think. They are steel, I don't have a tig welder in my garage so I didn't make them from aluminum.

and I thought that it was just me.

looks good,as Pipes said spacing might be a bit much but if it works for her great.You just made them outta mild steel tubing?...They do need paint for sure,but think u need to add some ice studs for grip....would like wider boards on the Pro Assault,if u ever mock those up let me know.

shouldn't have problems with snow build up. Like Rudy said they will need some sore of paint job. Perhaps powder coating

 

[neilsleder]

I just got them test fitted now so I will pull them off again and paint them. Then in the summer get them powder coated. And I got ice studs for dirt bike tires that I am going to put in for traction. And if you want some let me know I could build some.

You may want to test ride them first.

u talking to me Neil?...if so shoot me a PM with how much.

 

[bj_lucky]

How much $$$ for the m7 you figure?

 

[StewartsDragon]

This is awesome entrepreneurship at its finest. Congrats buddy hope everything works out for you. The spacing does look a lil big in the pics but hey I have size 12 boots so I might be sending a PM your way to, after you test them out of course.

 

[neilsleder]

I am going to do my XP this week. Then hopefully get out to test them. And I ride hard so it should be a good test. I think that they will hold up good, I just clamped them into place and they are way stiffer than stock ones. Thanks for the input guys, and maybe I will put the spacing closer.

I like em!! The only thing that I might suggest is at the back of the board you have the plate attaching it to the side of the tunnel, for a fat guy like me I can put a bit of stress on that during the day. Maybe putting a 90 on it and using the corner of the tunnel for strength would be more solid? If your getting flex thats what I would try just my 2 cents.

I thought about that to. I was going to use the bolt hole under the rack at the back.

nice work. drill some sheet metal screws into them for traction and your good to go.

You know what they say about girls with big feet...

 

[Sprint5]

Those are sweet! Would you build those for other people?

 

[dony409]
