I used to think that my pegs were perfect, but then I pulled the trigger on some full boards and can't believe the difference.
I am finding my feet are a lot more relaxed on the boards. It took a while to find the ones that I wanted as too many looked to be too far off the bike due to the size of the Sportster clevis.
But these I can accept
The vibration is reduced so much and I can still move my feet around in comfort. Just had to adjust the gear change to lift it a little higher to get my toe underneath
What name brand are those? Where did you purchase them?

That the footboards do cut the lean angle is a question I hadn't considered. Good of you to bring that up
This could be interesting. Do let me know how long it will take and what the cost would be. Not sure if the fact that I am working with a 2011 Superlow will change anything but let me know. Now I am curious. BTW, I did change the shocks but they are stock height so.....
No ETA or price. I am making some for myself. If they turn out well, and test out well, we may add it to our product line. If that were to happen, it would be around 2 or 3 months from now.

Those are the V-Twin MFG. floorboards that RANGER73 linked above. the pivoting arm was left out on that install, which makes it stick out less, but still about 1" further than the pegs.
I have a set of these, and they are definitely comfortable....just don't like how they stick out so far, visually, and how much they reduce the lean angle.

@DK
They were about the best I could find without sticking out too far.
Think we discussed that on your build thread, trying to find some that don't go out too far isn't easy with the stick clevis. Your smaller connector is a better solution

Yes, from all my research, what you have is the best I could find too.
We'll see if what we're fabbing up will work how we think it will.
