Floorboards
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

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?

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.
Best wishes....Tim(HT)
