Lost my left rubber pad on my foot board Saturday during a 500 mile ride, anyone might have a left (and a right) pad? Not sure if they are different size but I can take a photo and measure if you need me too


I'm pretty sure they are Drag Specialist



Thanks

John

when I lost mine on my 83 I just went to Menards found some rubber matt that I liked pulled the otherside off traced it and cut it out one for each side then reglued back on the boards for about 4 $ had 2 new pads and enough left over for more

you can also look for the friction tape style pad if you want some non-slip options

By Golly Flash you found them, thanks. I just got back from Lowes and found a rubber mat that is a little thicker and a more aggressive tread.I just found out that we have a PGR mission Thursday morning so I may go ahead and use this mat first adn se how it turns out but I know where to find the replacements now, Thanks Flash



Here's a few pics of the mat

use a little gorrila glue to hold them in place, make sure to use a little because it expands

I've got a couple of types of 2 part epoxy around here somewhere, find the one for this application. I think the tread will look better good, just finding the right spot to cut out

Here is what I came up with for replacing the pads.... I could do a better job on the corners but it was late, I mean early this morning when I cut them out. I used a utility knife to cut and did not think about the EMT type scissors to rounf off the corners. .LESSONS LEARNED

But lots more pad left to redo
