Here’s the base and pedal trimmed to size after some work on the band saw
I drilled through holes that correspond with the pedal/board for bolt up.
A bunch of excess metal needed to come off on the milling machine to square the base up for the pedal/board.
I made a relief cut for easier access to the pivot. I then milled the bottom smooth so when it’s folded in the up position the original detail line is no longer evident.
After a quick surface prep with the D.A. Sander, I was ready to weld up my side plates.
I cut the 1/8-inch aluminum side plates to act like a tray for the pedal/board to sit flush in. Now it’s ready for a bit of a weld up.
The finished product was then installed and we were ready to hit the road.
You might remember when I made a set of Mooneyes drag boat gas pedal floorboards in the print version of Hot Bike. Now it’s time to make up something for the passenger. I decided the mini accelerator pedals from Mooneyes were a good size to adapt to the stock Harley brackets. They just needed a bit of shaving and welding to get the desired fitment. Follow along as I take you through the step-by-step process to make a full custom set of race-inspired floorboards.
