 On occasion I've seen full setups on e-bay auction selling for around
$200.

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
