A footboard assembly including a resilient pad having a planar portion and a lip portion extending outward from the planar portion, and a cover member position over the resilient pad. The lip portion extends laterally outward further than an outer perimeter of the cover member. The cover member includes a plurality of openings, and the resilient pad includes a plurality of raised portions extending upward from the planar portion and through the openings. Shaker mounts are formed integrally with the resilient pad to provide vibration damping between the motorcycle platform and the footboard assembly. A substantially rigid insert is molded into the planar portion of the resilient pad. A thin layer of resilient material is positioned under the insert to completely enclose the insert.
