"es" floorboards on my "s"

[mjr]

In the how to's I read were cory had installed "es" floorboards on his "s",what I would like to know is, if it was a straight r & r bolt on or did he or anyone else who has done this have to modify extensively.
please give me details, I don't want to order all the parts & find out I have to chop & weld.
I don't know anyone who has an "es" to even compare.
every one I know is a die hard yamaha fan.I do like the
cleaner look of the factory floorboards over the after market ones but I need some kind of foot protection from the stumps,stones & ice.

it is a just a bolt on. just remove the s floorboards and install the es parts.

The ES has a different mount system than the S for the factory floorboard. The frame, believe it or not, is different on the S and it will not support the factory ES floorboard. A floorboard support bracket that goes directly below the plastic floorboard bolts directly to the frame on the ES. The frame on the S does not have this frame mount. The S frame supports footpegs. Check out the images on hondapartsworld.com or go to your dealer and have him pull up the schematics for you. Believe me I tried to get it to work. I have a 04 S and installed Moose brand steel floorboards and Love them. Better than the factory ES because they ofter more foot room and greater strength than the plastic fllorboard on the ESTEXT.

I also considered putting ES boards on my S
but after comparing my S to my buddies ES
Like woodbnek said there is a lot of difference
Maybe Dirtyforman can give us more detail on this swap ?

he is right with the frames being alittle different, the floorboard supports is the problem. The footpegs take most of the pressure and will mount up, but the front of the support u will have to fab a bracket to secure them solid. Sorry I didnt add more info when I posted.
