Yeah I've had to replace mine on my Heritage twice since I've owned it.
First the rubber gets hard then the rubber cushions break.
That is normal.

Thanks Texas, yeah I imagine after this long they're hardened up. Time to start looking for a replacement OEM set.

I got replacements from surdyke a few years ago.

The new ones made riding a lot more comfortable because the old ones were so hard they transmitted vibration to my boots which made my feet numb.

I went to local dealership, it is something they upgrade on customer bikes all the time. Mechanic reached into a box of about 100 sets and gave me a set, free. Pretty sure they are all the same for the D shape foot boards. Worth a shot.

I got some from J&P Cycles a couple of years ago. As previously stated they're not that expensive.
