Looking for garage floor mat for the bike

Recommended Posts

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.:cheers:

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 these

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.

Go to the junkyard and yank a cargo mat out of a van.

They are expensive new, but dirt cheap from a junkyard.

Will look like ... well... a van cargo mat on the floor.

edit: ok, that was silly. Try this. Sears anti fatigue foam floor mat. 46"x93" $19.95 on sale

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:

Sams Club has them, too, as does Harb Frt.
