Shiney MCL Highway Blades

[StinkyPete]

I had a similar feeling when I first installed mine Pete....although have never come close to slipping off them.

Chris, do you find that you feet are resting on the tip ends of the blades, or squarely on the middle of the serrated section?
I do like your suggestion of longer spacer under the acorn nut on the blade tip.   I could turn up a pair from aluminium or black nylon, which may be my simplest solution.   Option 2 cold be to design and fabricate a "thingo" to fit within the hinge joint, to somehow limit how far the blades will swing out.

This may be a simple and cheap solution for you Pete 

Longer counter sunk bolt and series of washers and put the acorn nut back on......I would go to a chandler and grab it all in S/S 

 

Here's my take on this suggestion.  I've turned up some black nylon spacers and used longer SS M6 countersunk head bolts with the original cap nuts.  It remains to be tested on the road.

That looks awesome Pete
I look forward to hearing if it remedies the issues you were having

That's really neat Pete

What did you expect?

I would have had to have tried them out by now.....but that's the redneck coming out in me 

Can you notice the difference just on the centre stand ??

Considerably easier to flick in or out, and the extension seems to catch my boot and prevent further lateral sliding once my foot gets near the end of the blade.  Watch this space for a further update.
