Aqua boards or not ?

[FRR]

Got a set of them on my Monarch II. What sold me was I went to change the oil after a trip out west and found a big chunk over an inch around and over a 1/16 deep missing from the front of one of the aquashields. Whatever smacked it probably wouldve taken out the Missus leg. Right there they earned their keep in my eyes. I have an aquaintance who has a 1500 with no shields and his wife complains especially in construction zones about dust and debris blowing on her lower legs. To me its a personal choice but it really finishes off the look of the trike at least in my eyes.

Get them. Don't even think about it, just get them. Adds to looks, they are practical and they keep your feet warm. Without them your Wing just looks like you have a big fat rear end. IMHO

When riding in rain they help keep feet dryer. Basic design gives driver and passenger more protection from the elements. Personally l think they also add the finishing touch when converting to a trike.

That being said, I would not be without weight baring running boards (called different things by different companies)

I voter for the Aqua Shields.. :xszpv: :xszpv:

What he said! Mine, also, are weight bearing (Motor Trike)... dunno if I'd like them at all if I could not step on them.

I vote yes.

Ok now it's another season 2/23/18......I still very much vote for the running boards, never any problems, can't bottom out, great place to place feet, instead of the pegs all the time. Oil changes, are no problem what's so ever (just change oil/ filter yesterday) getting ready for this season riding......

Question: Well, did you get the running boards or not???

O' and my biggest fear was backing out bike with boards, "not a problem now" Easy Pessy!!!

Yes I did

I did get the running boards. And have tried to post a pic of my trike on here without success. I have to admit it does look sharp with the boards. I hope to have it out in 3 weeks to a month !!!! Still some winter going on here in Iowa.
