I saw a bike on Ebay that had it, and I liked it. I haven't seen it on many bikes, but maybe I just have bad taste :biggrin: I looked on the net, and for a pair irt would cost me app. $70.00 to $75.00 to have them shipped to me. I decided to go to a saddlery shop, buy my leather & studs, and try to make them myself. Well, I have about $25.00 into the pair, and I think they will be keepers on my 1500. Here are a couple pics......

WOOPS, PICS WERE TO LARGE, I WILL TRY TO SHRINK THEM


1st is a before pic....

i don't see anything.

try again.. (floorboard fringe with studs) pics

I had to get rid of some attachments to make space.
1st pic is a before, and is followed by 2 finished ones. I know floorboard fringe isn't for everybody, but I think I like it and will keep it. Besides, kinda nice when you make your own :wink: Hope these worked..

Definately nice when you can make your own.

Think I will look for the sissors

:lol: Was alot of work, but the more I look at it, the more I feel I will just retire it from the floorboards. I will probally cut it off and leave the studding around the floor/b's. I like the studding alot, but just can't get into the fringe.
Oh well, gave it a try anyways :wink: Even the wife told me she loves the stud work on it, but doesn't care for the fringe. SO the fringe goes!

I think the fringe is cool...only suggestion might be to add more, as most bikes w/fringe have some around the seat, bags, etc...retro styled bikes are cool!

I agree...loose the fringe. Looks like a street sweeper. But to each his own.

 

[Dudester]

Do the studs go "through" the floor boards or are they wrapped around on a piece of leather ?
Oh and yes, lose the fringe, it truly does look like a sidewalk sweeper. I love the studs there though. If not to complicated, I'd like to stud my 4 floor boards. Also, where did you get that rear luggage bag ? I've been searching all of the Internet to find one exactly like that. Looks great back there.
I also love you're fender rails. That is something that is definitely on my wish list.
Thanks for sharing.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, my friend.

I just love to see the different mods people do. Even if you lose the fringe ya still have the pics.

 

[Ruger]

Interesting. Not my style, but it looks like you did a nice job.

+1 :biggrin:

Now Cheri's bike would look good with fringed boards, as she has fringed levers and a fringed jacket, so an overall theme carries out. I think only fringed boards are what gives you the street sweeper look.

It's funny you say that.....I asked Chaz about getting the fringed floorboard covers AND mud flaps!!!!! I was afraid to say it in here because I thought everybody would blast me.....but I have a fringed theme on my bike!!!

At first glance, I thought the thread was about a Floorboard "Fridge".

I was thinking to myself, now that's pretty handy. Just the thing to keep my seafoam cold on the road. ;-)

CheriAnn, put some fringe on that licence plate bottom, or make a leather plate frame with fringe hanging near the ground. I think that would look hot on your bike with your jacket & chaps

Great Idea, John. Easy and cheap to do, also.
