Default recommendations on floorboards?
Hello, I have a 13' Road Glide and I am switching things out. What do you guys recommend, Arlen ness beveled or edge cut for floorboards?

I switched out for some fancy HD boards and had to switch them back. My foot kept shifting position on the fancy boards, as if they had less grip. Something to consider.

Why are you asking us? Do what YOU want. It's your bike and we have no investment in it.

The reason I am asking is because I have not seen the Arlen Ness Beveled boards in person, therefore I do not know if they are worth the almost $400 or just buy the edge cut which is at the Harley dealer for $150 and I know they are good quality. From the pictures of the Arlen Ness, I don't think I will care for the rubber throughout the center. But, I just thought I'd get peoples opinion from any experience with them.

On a 13' bike,I'd find the longest boards I could get.

Good luck. There is no way I'd put $400 into footboards. Dress up the current boards and still have money left over for beer and steaks.

I think Dr. Scholls would know the difference between $150 and $400 floor boards.

That is who you are trying to impress right?
