Default Floor board or foot peg suggestions

Hey guys/gals,
I'm looking for floor boards or pegs that aren't just flat, but have a small lip to keep the wind from blowing me feet outward while I ride. This gets uncomfortable on longer rides and my legs get fatigued trying to hold my feet on the floor boards. I'm somewhat short at 5'3" - 5'4" and maybe that's part of it
I have an '07 FLHRSE3 Road King CVO. The bike has a windshield, but no fairing to really block the wind on my legs/feet.

lower fairing would be an expensive solution but would fix your issue. You can try fork mounted wind deflectors. It might be your seat, I’ve ridden road kings without lower fairings cross country without having the wind blow my feet off the floor boards.

I ordered some soft deflectors from Amazon that mount to the crash bar. They definitely won't improve the looks of the bike, but for long rides who cares. Maybe I can fabricate something that will stick up slightly on the outer edge of the floor boards without looking like crap.

Be very cautious using soft lowers during the warmer months. They are not all created the same. Unlike hard lowers some do not direct the airflow correctly and may create excess heat in your engine. The directions used to say, do not use above 55 degrees, at least my Harley branded ones I have did. There is a company, I'm sure more than one, that claim to direct the air flow correctly. check out https://www.leadermotorcycle.com/pag...gs-rain-guards
Your bike, your call!
