i just bought my 07 ruckus and i really like the idea of foot pegs in the front.... but is there a cheap way of doing it rather than getting the skeleton floorboard? and i was wondering if someone could post a pic of what it looks like to have the pegs in the rear area with someone actually on it.... it just didnt look like it was comfortable, i dunno enlighten me please

First off...  I have seen pics of other methods but I don't have any on hand. What some people do is take a metal bar about 2 feet long and bend about 3" on either end down at a 90 degree angle. Then you lay this on your floorboard and drill too holes so you can secure it in in place with the front 2 floorboard bolts. Then on the bend down ends you drill holes for the pegs to go. Once you've got it all sorted out. You remove the floorboard and mount this under the floorboard so you don't see it. All you see is 2 pegs poking out the sides of your scooter in line with the front 2 floorboard bolts. Make sense? |

Sorry - that picture size really screws up this thread fomat.
Others have asked too. However, it really is not be worth it for me to make them for resale - it took a while (I'm not particularly handy) - I made them myself with a hacksaw and hand drill). Someone with a power band saw and drill press could make them in a few minutes. I don't have those tools.
They are uber easy to make. All I did was buy the largest size angle iron at Home Depot (cheap). Aluminum might work too. Cut two pieces each about 2 1/2 inch in length. Place metal bracket under floorboard & over the holes that mount the the floorboard to the frame. Mark spot for hole from from top down - drill hole. Then mark hole on side for peg to be bolted on - make sure enough room to clear other bolt - drill. Prime & paint. Place bracket over mounting hole, replace floorboard, Use longer length bolt to bolt floorboard & bracket - tighten. Bolt BMX pegs to side holes. Repeat for other side.
If you remove the floorboard, you can use bolts and nuts to hold the brackets on.
Enjoy.
