Well, one of the things that I've been running into the most is that my feet are killing me after a short ride. The stock foot pegs were just not enough and my ankles always seem to want to roll.

I decided to take the plunge and ordered some floorboards off of e-bay from Hong Kong. It was less then half the price for a normal set, and this was rider and passenger. Amazingly enough, 8 days after payment they were on my doorstep.

Here are some pics:

I haven't installed the passenger ones yet because I don't ride with anyone, and think they might be a little bit bulky.

The one thing I currently notice is more vibration since there isn't a lot of padding, but that's easier to change then the whole floorboard.

How do you like them compared to the old?

Put about 70 miles on the bike today and they are great.

I had my real boots on, and those soles are thicker so the vibrations were much lower then when I took it out for a test ride with my sneakers on.

My ankles is where I feel the biggest change.

I don't have a motorcycle...another hobby I don't need to get involved in, but they do look a lot more comfortable.

Man they look big. Do they stick out a bit more than the pegs?

Back in the day I rode sport bikes (even took a road racing course) and enjoyed dragging the pegs, my knee and/or the exhaust pipes sometimes while taking a turns at high speed. But the first time I touched the floorboards on the FatBoy down I almost shit myself. I was thinking of replacing them with some forward mounted pegs.


Maybe I just need to slow down a bit.

They don't really fold-up the same way the stock pegs do, so there is a little more of chance for them to drag.

Width wise they aren't really all that larger, but the extra length does make it a little harder. I haven't scraped them yet though.
