Those look great.....bike looks great. Just curious if your feet feel more vibrations without the rubber pad that comes with stock boards.

I have never had stock boards. I just went from pegs to these.

I've been thinking about getting boards like yours except a buddy of mine swapped his out on his Heritage and now his feet get numb on longer rides. Gotta say they look fantastic though.

I'm not sure how it will be any different for me. I went from solid metal mounted to solid metal mounted. I don't have any issues with my feet getting numb. Here is what I had before the boards.

No offense 24V but even though risking to be one among a thousand I must admit that I don't like those floor boards. The look reminds me of a stepladder on a construction vehicle or on a tractor...simply doesn't comply with the esthetics of the bike...but I didn't like your previous bike pedal style pegs either...just my .02!

No offense taken. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if yours is wrong.

I don't like them either...for MY breakout and the direction I'm going with it. But I think they look killer on 24v's sled and fit in perfect with the look he's got on his.

Totally agree, its makes the bike look like some off-road set up or something.

the grass is always greener i guess.

this is the first bike i've had with floorboards and i'm hoping more riding will get me used to them. so far i'd take them off given the chance. but i like the look of those bike pedals and wonder how well they'd work. they might be what i look into if i can't get along with these boards.
