Lightbulb FXSTB Nightrain - Floor boards?
Has anyone converted an FXSTB to floorboards? I looks like the same attachment points as the other softtails with floorboard, I would think it would take just changing the frame mounts to a floorboard type, then attach floorboards. Can anyone verify that?

Yep, you can put floorboards on a night train. Its a 10 minute bolt on operation.

I don't think a train should have a floorboard, just saying.

I would like to see the pictures.

If it fits a train, it will fit my custom.

I would spend ten minutes before a long trip installing them, and would like them in the back anyway.

I used to have floorboards on my train till I switched to the billet forward controls from HD. Floorboards do add a nice flavor. So to all asking in question, yes floorboards will BOLT UP to ANY softail HD model.
