Just in the process of fitting H-D forward controls to my 07 FXDC. At some point I reckon I will be wanting to try floorboards.
If somebody has already done this, please give some recommendations on which makes or types work best on a SG? And whether it is easy enough to do.
Thanks

 

I have ISO Floorboards from KC. Cost under $100. Very easy to install. I've had them on for couple thousand miles, no complaints.

 

Take a look at this. It's what I did with my Superglide a while back.

There are several good threads here on the Forums on that subject, just do a search. I'm one of the "OP's", and maybe the first to do this project with the '12 FLD-Switchback parts. It all depends on how much your want to spend, what you're looking for, or your ambitions as to what way you want to go.

The riders I hang with say, "Those look like they should of been there the whole time!"

Hope this helps

Best wishes....Tim

 

Thanks for your replies, I do like the look of of what you both have done.
Do these boards work with the "normal" H-D forwards (hopefully) or would I need to change again?
I suspect the Switchback ones are different (not as far forward) - or am I wrong?

 

Here's mine with newly installed forwards.....

If they're not, they're real close. The forward bracket bolts to te same spot as the "forwards" and swoops forward about 4 inches and up about an inch. They are the "happy medium" when compared to "forwards" IMO.

You get the opportunity to shift your foot position forward or back for comfort, and a lot more relaxed posture on the long rides were-as with the "forwards". I found that even when I was use to the forward controls, after a hundred or so miles, my lower legs and feet would be fatigued from being planted in one spot, even with stirrups.

These allow me to go the distance of a full tank (at any speed) and feel good getting off the bike for fuel, a smoke, and a some liquid refreshment, then 'saddle up", and go some more.
