FatBoy Lo Alternative Foot Controls?
I've searched and been reading a few of the older and somewhat recent threads that have been started. Basically the floorboards are just not working for my current riding style which is mostly in the city and in traffic. Footpegs would be great and HD does sell a kit (33909-08A) but it states it's not compatible with the Lo (other's on this forum have said they work). But my main question is: are there no other floorboard alternatives? like a thinner, less long. Essentially with like the least amount of work and cost to switch to a "footpeg-like" setup. For instance, I've researched a few "Mini" floorboard option but it appears they're only for passengers or highway/engineguard setups? Are there no mini options I can just bolt up to the existing mounts?

Was hoping there was a bolt on alternative before doing any fabricating

Ebay aftermarket kits go for about $ 200 https://www.ebay.com/b/Motorcycle-Fo...90/bn_32549988
if your ok with the basic position of the floorboards there are many styles of floorboard out there many are a lot more narrow than the stock Fatboy , so they wont stick out as much. But most are all he same length or longer.
Check the classifieds on the forum and ebay they probably come up for sale from time to time used

The HD Kit is $ 350 https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...rd-control-kit there are others out there but all at about the same price. Also they all convert to forward pegs not mid pegs, so be sure you want to be extended to forward pegs. On line HD Dealers like new castle and Surdyke have them for about $ 275.

I don't mind the position of the floorboards but the length makes splitting through traffic a bit of a pain especially if I have to back up. Just surprised there isn't a mountable or mount to bolt up the same mini passengers floorboard or pegs to.
Guess I'll eventually just get the HD FC if there are no other alternatives

I just picked up a '16 Fat Boy S that has the black Defiance footboards on them by the previous owner. This is my first time using footboards and these actually work pretty well for me. I wear a size 9 boot and I am still using both heal and toe shifters. https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...07-50500640--1

I have footpegs on mine. Have the stock floorboards in a box somewhere but really like the footpegs, I think they're a lot sportier.

Were you able to mount the footpegs up to the stock setup? or did you have to get different mounts / forward controls?

It was done by a prior owner but it's the kit XARAN mentions above.
