Check out MarineBassist on here, Look at his pics and I purchased the same kit for mine. Going to swap out the floorboards out this week.

Here's another thread with some tips I included:

It's really not a hard job. Self-install if you are minimally mechanically inclined. Is this your first bike? I'm being honest here and please don't take offense but your comment about the heel shifter coming off is slightly concerning.

yes it will be my first harley. Ive had a bike for the past 10 years (Honda), rented 5 street glides from Eagle Riders, just never paid attention to the mechanics of the shifter. I just wasnt sure how easy it would be replace it myself is all.

Ok. Really quite easy. Seriously. If you are comfortable changing your oil you should be good to swap from floorboards to pegs. You can download the instructions from the HD website. It states that you have to disassemble the rear brake line. This is not true if your right side floorboard has a cutout for the rear master cylinder. It's hard to describe online but you should be able to simply loosen the master cylinder nut and slide it upwards. You shouldn't need to crack open the brake line.
