I dont know how tall you are but for me (6-00) I can stretch my legs out enough that my feet rest comfortably on the pegs for those long hauls, but I can also understand the need for something under your feet as well. I was thinking about the Kuryakyn sizzor pegs myself.

Floorboards can't be beat for comfort. You have "room to move" on 'em. I've even modified mine and moved them forward about 4 inches. Of course, they don't look right with every style of bike, but then all ya gotta say is, "I can't see 'em from where I sit, 'cause my feet cover 'em up."

I have passenger floorboards on my Night Train (Kuryakyn). For me, I prefer the forward controls. Very comfortable on long rides!

Do you know the part number for those passenger floorboards? I'm thinking about getting some for my Train.
Thanks.
Cheers!

I thought I wanted to add floor boards on my softail but decided on installing heel rest instead. I really like them and were easy to install.

Hello, Ive put floorboards on my Standard. I got the mounts off of ebay-. They bolted right on. No problems. You can usually find them, since some folks opt to switch out the black ones for chrome. I bought the boards themselves off ebay too. Total coversion cost about 125 bucks, but you might score them for less. The comfort cant be beat. Im trying to attach a pic of my bike. Im slowly converting it to a Heritage.

SoCalFXSTI, that looks awesome.
I recently bought a set of floorboards (ebay), brackets, heal & toe shifer and brake pedal and linkages for $135. Pretty cheap.
The stuff should be here next week. I'll put it on the motorcycle stand and drop the old hardware off. From what I gather, I'll only need the mounting bolts, rear master cylinder & jiffy stand.
Spoke with my local dealer, no problems with the installation.

Ultravista,
I used new hardware, but did have any issues with the masterbrake cylinder needing changed. Save your receipts! Let us know how it goes. Did you get an Heritage/Fatboy style brake pedal? I went with that. The difference is like going from a cracker to a big bar of soap! hahaha.
