If the HD's long angled peg kit doesn't work out, I'll take alook at them.

Rene'....... I sent the seller of those floorboards an email as to whether they'll fit bikes with mid controls. I'd hate to spend that kind of money and find out it wouldn't work.

I like my Kury ISO set up with the wider peg and heel rest. It would be nice to have floorboards though. I'm wondering if my jiffy stand would work if I had those floorboards, given I also had the bike lowered. The other consideration is how far they stick out from the side.... will I be able to get my legs past them to reach the ground, given I have such a short inseam. If I were only 5'4".....life would be so much easier.

Hey bberck
Can you tell me if you had to alter your brake pedal position at all and if so how did you do it?

Thanks

I just purchased a set of the V-twin Manufacturing floorboards off a forum member. They bolted right on to my 2007 LR. Very easy to install....took me a little over an hour but I installed the right side two or three times....did not read the directions the first time. They mount at the highway peg and stock mid peg location (front and back of the floorboard). Kit includes a new shift spline, longer shift rod (like those included in forward control kits) and heel toe shifter. I installed the shifter but did not like it. I ended up putting my stock shifter back on in its place. Brake side included a longer rod which attached to the included brake arm/pad and the right side floorboard.

I could not find too many reviews on these. They seem well built and sturdy. Position moves my feet a little more forward than mid pegs but not all the way like forwards. I'm 5'9" with about a 29/30 inseam. I don't feel too cramped or too stretched out. I will miss being able to stretch way out on long trips but I think I can move my feet around enough not to get too cramped.

I believe you can purchase them from an authorized dealer for $403....$440 seems high.
