hey, well i just got a pair of Burton Custom and I have to say, they look fantastic :D.
Well anyways, I installed my bindings on my snowboard and they look nice. Heres the problem....
I seem to have installed the baseplate upside down to each other. Like

the second image is my right binding (back)
as one can see, the base plates have is opposite of another. Because there was like 4 arrows on side on the circles, i got confused when i put them :S.
I'm wander if i should reinstall the bindings or is it okay if I leave it like this. These are burton baseplate, unidisk.
Thank you for your help :D

With every binding that I've ever mounted, the only difference between the disks should be the zero degree arrow - so as long as you have the bindings at the angles that you want them and you are able to tell what angle they are at, this shouldn't be a problem.
Good Luck

Nah, they're fine. A baseplate is a baseplate, and the only difference is that Burton uses a different screw setup. As far as I know, only Burton uses different screw placement, and it doesn't look like you're riding one from the way you just screwed them in. So as long as all four screws are locked in tightly and your baseplate and bindings aren't raised for some strange reason, you'll be fine.

Well the pics were a lil blurry so...
The idea for the pointers are so you'll know at what angle or degree your stance is set on for customization. But if you don't care about that and the bindings are at the most comfortable position for you then don't bother fixing them.

As long as the screws are tight and your toes and heels are centered on the board with neither dragging on the snow when you turn, go out and let 'er rip. The base disks are designed to give you options, especially since it is common to put the front and back at different angles anyway. Put down your screwdriver and go make turns!

mmm very good question. I ride rome 390's and LOVE THEM! they are a little bit over your budget. around 40 dollars but I'm sure you could scrape it up somehow. some other good bindings may be ride SPI's or union forces. i guess its all what you ride and what you like. if you want more flexibility there are the ride contraband but if your looking for more response then i would try ride rome 390's

nope, both plates are in the center holes, so they're basically the same.
