Loopers, What parts are needed to go from footpegs to floorboards on an Ambo? |
Money. And plenty of it.
Actually, you need to change the brake pedal and linkage and the shifter
linkage. You will need the floorboard mount brackets, although if you find
someone who has a set, you should be able to copy them fairly easily. The
floor boards are just Harley ones, so that's the easy part to get. You
can run either the old half moon style boards or the later rectangle
type. You can get them from any aftermarket HD parts catalog.
The shift patter will be reverse from the standard Ambo pattern with the
floorboard shifter linkage (so it will be like a "regular" motorcycle, 1
up, 3 down.
The hard part is finding the shift and brake linkage. A resourceful
person with a machine shop could probably figure it out on his own in a
few hours.
Cheers,
Dave
