Consumer Description
One of the bolts holding the floorboard sheared off causing it to collapse. This happened when I placed my weight on the floorboard. If this had occurred when driving at speed (30 to 70 mph) I would have sustained serious injury or resulted in my death. I have researched this and discovered this is a common occurrence as noted on motorcycle forums. This raises the question how many cyclists have lost their lives or been injured when the foot support fails and results in the loss of control of the motorcycle. There was no indication the bolt was going to fail.
