I'm 5'9" so I'm looking for more foot support. I've heard they help from your feet blowing off the pegs. I'm not against replacing the pegs for boards. Any pics or links?

I'm not near a computer and for some reason I can't copy/paste from my phone

I'll get you a link and some pictures tomorrow.

If you look back a page or two I'm the one who posted a denim black fat Bob in a garage picture. You can see the boards there

Congrats on the purchase! Personally I love the Amber Whiskey and would have jumped on it with my SB if the opportunity had existed. The FB is a beautiful bike that I'm sure you'll enjoy, and as others have said keep your wallet close by because the list of things this board will prompt you to do is insane. First bike, and your first ride, be safe but have fun on the way home!

As a different option for floorboards you may want to take a look at these heel rest kits from DK. I had them on my previous bike's forwards and really liked them (I also use a pedal style peg that they sell which rotates with my food position, and looks good). I have them stashed away for when I eventually get some highway pegs. Not knowing your style, I think these would look cool on your bike.

A few days ago I returned the ISO pegs and heel rests that I bought from Kuryakyn. They stuck out much too far for my taste as compared to the stock pegs.

I put the joker machine serrated pegs on my FatBob and couldn't recommend them enough. They feel like a floorboad but don't have the oldman bike look at all...the grip is excellent too. Don't have a great pic but they are the link below

Thanks man! I'll look at those pegs. I want more of a foot rest but not a floor board now I see how they look. And I just signed papers today and checked it out again, and the color is growing on me. It's really nice! Some powder coating and it will make the Amber really come out.

Since you're asking - a "con" for Fat Bobs is that they are clunky looking compared to the other Dynas.
