I'm looking at options for floor boards & was wondering if anyone has the Kuryakyn mini boards or any input on them. I found them w/ the adapters for under $100 on ebay.

I have those on the back of my bike with the 2 inch offset adapters from kuryakyn. Made it a much better passenger experience for my wife.

I use the Mini-Boards as a replacement for my main front pegs, and I love them. So much more support then the OEM pegs, but small enough to not look stupid or get in the way.

Word to the wise... Get the splined board adapters that are for the rear passenger pegs. I've installed both models that Kuryakyn makes for the Stryker front pegs, and neither one of them allow the mini-boards to sit straight.

So when you say the other mount won't allow the boards to sit straight I assume you mean side to side since they are a spline mount & can sit roughly 360 degrees front to back. Does the rear mount have an adjustment for the tilt side to side?

I was looking at what Kuryakyn lists for the adapters & the one front mount 8826 looks like the rear one listed 8818 according to the installation instructions listed on their site. Was that one of the front mounts you tried that didn't work? It looks like it has the same set screw adjustment as the rear mount adapter.

Yeah, sorry I wasn't too clear about that. I'm using the 8818 adapters up front. They come with set screws to make the boards solid, but I just leave them out. The splined edge that allow you to rotate them 360 work fine.

For some reason, both the 8814 and 8826 adapters that use the stock spring, don't allow the board to sit correctly at 90 degrees. So basically, with your feet straight on the boards, your toes would be pointing out at approximately 10 and 2 o'clock.

I contacted Kuryakyn directly, and they recommended I use the 8818 adapters and leave out the set screws to leave them flexible if I happen to drag.

Hope that helps.

The stock peg mounts weld slag inside the mount (Fig. 1). The stock pegs are beveled to clear this mess and allow the peg to fit tight against the bracket (Fig. 2). If you bevel the Kuryakyn mount the same as the stock peg if will fit correctly.

Fig.1 and 2 got reversed.

No beveling on mine

I didnt have to modify the mounts at all for my front boards. Then again i am using the kuryakyn premium floorboards with the splined adapters that dont pivot. The adapters have set screws that you use to level the boards. On a side note the front boards i have pivot themselves. If you want pictures that are specific let me know.

Mikey76, if you look at my older post (below this one)"I installed new rear boards", you will see the board I am using and I describe mt problem using them for the front boards.

I just pulled the trigger on the mini boards. I was on the fence about them till I saw now they come in Black!

Which parts did you order for the rear boards with the offsets? You had to buy two sets of adapters, or just one?

 

[mikey76]

Off sets

Which parts did you order for the rear boards with the offsets? You had to buy two sets of adapters, or just one?

The boards attach directly to the offsets. The offsets use a standard splined adapter that is requires for your specific application. So 1 set of adapters, 1 set of boards and 1 set of offset

Kuryakyn 8837 is the offset adapter number
