zr500 02-03-2003, 06:13 PM I have a 98 ZR 500 and a problem, recently I noticed the running board was bent and the place where you tuck your foot up was also bent down a bit, I have no idea how this could happen besides jumping it, but I never get more than 5 feet of air are these just really weak running boards?? thanks for the help :) drewalt 02-03-2003, 08:26 PM It happens to alot of aggressive riders. I would check out the Rox sledtreds to help strengthen the boards up. www.sled-parts.com DamageInc 02-04-2003, 02:30 AM Try to straighten the best you can, then go to the store and buy a half-inch aluminum rod. Cut it to the length of your running board, then pound it into the rolled edge with a mallet. This makes them much stronger, with a very small weight penalty. dawg 02-05-2003, 08:39 AM i guess thats why cat went to the new stule running board on the zr's, firecats etc. i love mine. but yeh, i would have to say that the style of boards on your sled r weak. they should have changes them 10 yrs ago. redstangZR 02-05-2003, 10:11 AM The running boards on my 97 ZR580 are bent too. Thanks for the ideas on making them stronger. dieseldude 02-05-2003, 10:51 AM % feet of air over a few year period = bent running boards, no biggie, they add characture to your machine! D.D. | ||
