Mike T Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Does anyone know anything about LOFO bindings? (see: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7101451854) I am looking for an inexpensive but functional pair of plates for my OSin 4807... something that won't be overkill. Or, if anyone has some Burton race plates (not Carriers - I'm 200 pounds w/ my gear and backpack on) they want to unload - let me know!

Mike T Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Thanks! They did look ancient, but I didn't want to leave any stone unturned. I am cringing at the thought of paying $100+ for Burton plates, which is what they seem to be going for right about now on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derf Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 If I'm not mistaken, LOFO bindings were popular in the early nineties and were made for boards with no inserts (the ones you drilled like skis). They are all made of plastic. So those are three reasons not to buy them: -old -for boards with no inserts -all plastic One reason to buy them would be for historical purpose, and we have www.oldsnowboards.com for that!;) BTW, it was fun to see those old things again, thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Al G Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Try : http://www.emiliosskishop.com/ These are the guys that are always turning out Burton Speeds with Race Plates. I persuaded them to let me have NIB Race Plates for $50 earlier in the year. Al G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me, I don't plan on spending a hundred bucks on Burtons. I could just use the TD2's or Olympics that I have now... but I'm worried about breaking the board. The 4807 is no alpine board.
