fittinf the floorboards isnt to difficult,but can be pricey to find a complete set. the triple A boards are a little cheaper,but you still retain the 1 up 3 down shift pattern. the police floorboards are a little expensive to find,but you end up with the "normal" 1 down 3 up pattern. mark at moto guzzi classics has the police boards nicely recromed and powdercoated so you can call him for a price. i personally like them on my ambo :)

Thanks Gary, things are becoming clearer! It does stand to reason given the
way the bikes were shipped to the U.S. that things would be subject to
change and to a "just do what it takes to get the bikes sold/delivered"
approach.
So...how hard is it to retro fit the footboards to a 'pegged' Ambassador?
(I ain't tellin' anybody but I always kind of had a thing for footboards
even though I've never had a bike with them.)
