floorboards
I have a 2021 Sport Glide that had footpegs and altho they are not that bad the wind would try to push the pantlegs up to the knees. I am 68 and totally new to HD so I bought a set of DK floorboards and life was better. The only problem I had was they are to tilted upward which causes ones feet to slowly slide backwards on the boards. The boards are nicely made and do not look bad other than the couple ruff edges where they drug the asphalt. To give them credit the scraping was done on cloverliefs going a little faster than I should have otherwise no problem. I got the DK boards before I knew that late model Fat Boy boards would bolt right up. I have been looking for a set of Fat Boy boards for awhile and finally found an affordable set off ebay.
Tomorrow I get to go play on them to see if I spent good money or wasted money.

Boards are awesome.
I want them on any bike I get except maybe like... A track bike lol.
One of the reasons I bought a Fat Boy was because it had the combo of 5 gallon tank and Floorboards.

I have a '21 Sport Glide and one of the first things I did was put floor boards on it. I bought it in San Diego and road it to Gilbert, AZ., so I figured out quickly that the forward pegs were not my friends. The swap is pretty easy to do. Just make sure the floor boards you acquired have the shifter mount with them. If they are take offs they should. The part number is 33600128. The brake for the forward pegs works fine with the floor boards.
