Anyone have experience with this footboard/forward control kit?

I have the wyatt boards and really like them. I got mine off ebay for about the same price that is listed there. I think there are other dealers that sell them, i have also heard bad things about debrix. The boards were easy to put on and took about an hour. I love the way i can corner with the boards (they give you control like mids). The only thing i don't care for is I can't get my toe under to shift. If they are adjusted so I can the heel part hits the board and won't shift.

I bought mine from Discount Cycle Parts (online). They were fine to deal with and the floorboards work great for me. There is no way to use the heel-toe shifter with your toe only. If that's what you want just replace it with something else. I like it personally and removed the rear shift peg and replaced it with a bolt and nuts covered with some glued together rubber grommets to make it shorter. It's still usable and now I have room for my heel back there on the board.

It sounds like it's pretty tight space between the front and back of the shifter. I test rode a HSC a while back, and I noticed that there was barely room for my #12 boot on the left side. What size shoes do yall wear?

I wear a 10. The distance between the front and rear peg is greater than that on the Harley shifter, but I don't know if your size 12 will fit. I had no problem with it, I just wanted another place to put my feet when riding so I shortened the rear peg a bit. It is a one piece shifter also unlike the Harley one which is 2. A lot of people change out the Harley heel/toe shifter for just a toe one, you could do that with the Wyatt boards but I haven't tried that. Do a search, someone earlier this year did that.
