RVTPilot Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Gang...anyone (especially with all the dealer and mech types around here) have a line on or recommendation as to where to acquire a carpet garge floor mat like the ones in a service department? I ran a site search and didn't find a thread, and have googled it, mostly to fine some rugs our of the UK from Biketek. They look nice and all, but wanted to see if there were other options around. I'd be happy with a plain black carpet rug like the ones Cintas contracts out to some businesses. Of course a black one with a big red wing on it would be titties and beer, but I would guess that's asking for a lot. I'd just like something a little nicer than a fraying carpet remnant for the 51 to sleep on. So if anyone has a lead or direction it would be very much appreciated.

shittygsxr Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 there are some grill mats that might be big enough and are made to absorb leakage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4isvt Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 i have a university of alabama rug I park mine on. Ordered it from home depot or lowes a couple years ago. Dont remember the cost but its big enough to get both bikes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Seen them on amazon or ebay before, also in the back or sport rider mags.I picked up these foam 2'x2' panels that look like black diamond plate from Odd Lots, have them on my garage floor park all the bikes on them and have had no issues. Good on the knees when changing tires and if you drop something sharp if presses into the foam instead of your tires. Ill see if i can find them online.Edit* They look like theseEdit *Been using them since 07 or 08 and they are still holding strong. they have been changed around since this pic d/t getting a lift in the middle of the garage.

YSR_Racer_99 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hit up one of the floor mat guys (Cintas??) the next time you see them swapping out mats at Taco Bell or something. They sometimes have runners that are not nice enough to put in the stores/ restaurants. Or something like this:http://tinyurl.com/484dds6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
