Series 3 rear running boards?

Postby davla » Sat Feb 20, 2016 6:44 pm

Are the right hand side rear running boards the same shape on a series 3 and a GP?

GP floorboards are different to SIII as they follow the profile of the side panels. The GP has a distinct 'kick' in it compared to SIII.

GP are more angular, SIII more curved.

They'll fit, but they won't be as intended.

It depends how important the look of the scooter is to you.

They connect at the same points but GP ones have a distinct shape to the internal curve with more of an angle in the curve where as earlier ones are a smooth curve.

With panel fitted I think you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.

The nearside are different as has already been stated but I don't think that there is any noticeable difference with the offside.
I wait to be corrected by a grown up. :D

Thanks for the replies. I know the LH side is different i.e. the curve is different but I'm talking about the RH side.

Both sides have the kink rather than a smooth curve.

Oh ok, thanks for that. I've never noticed on the right hand side.
