Couldnt agree more. I stand corrected on the footboards. I just assumed given the history of the bike that it was stock. Not worth it to me to change them. Only thing I did was add a kicker because I had some extra parts in my stash and I guess Im a belt and suspenders guy.

When I bought mine, she had the isolated pads. When I did the research and realized she shouldn't I found a solid set and never looked back. I ride my Shovel a lot, highway, multi state etc, mostly two up. They can get a little buzzy at 70 MPH, but not enough for me to have the wrong part. I mean you can see the isolated pads from a mile away. I have a set of highway pegs mounted on the bar, once on the highway I usually have my toe on the peg and heal on the board, buzz is not noticeable in that position. Good luck.
PS John is one of if not the most knowledgeable guy on this Forum for antique bikes. You don't like the ribbing, don't hang out in the shop. It has been that way in shops since I was a kid going with my Father. Go watch "Gran Torino", particularly the scene in the barber shop. If you still don't get it, your loss. Good luck to all of us with these cantankerous old machines.
