Yup...

Made these quite a while back.  I call 'em 'Dragon Wings'  Wink



Made many 'prototypes' out of plywood, and once I had what I wanted, took the wooden boards to a buddy that runs a metal fabricating shop.  Water jet cut from 1/2" Stainless, got the bend in 'em using a 30 ton press, then polish, polish, and more polish...  Surface area where yer feet go has that 'peel n stick' no-slip tread, used on boat surfaces.

Needed to raise the brake pedal, and have always had a 'Rattlebars Kickshifter'.  Not for folks like Smokin' Joe, that love to scrape pegs in the twisties, but they give a bit when I do scrape 'em.

Just when the highway straightened out for a mile
And I was thinkin' I'd just cruise for a while
A fork in the road brought a new episode
Don't you know...

Conform, go crazy, or ride a motorcycle...

Black Dog has a beautiful set of boards.   I've seen them in real life, I likes em.
