Fatboy Question
Hey , i was wondering is is it wierd to have the floorboards, when ya Stop do they hit your legs or are they no different than pegs..Thinking about buying a Fatboy here this month,i rode one along time back didnt seem to be a problem, and also is any 2007 owners having trouble with forks offset or is it no biggie.and what do you guys think of the 6 speed, and the 1584cc motor see alot of difference from the 06... Thanks Voodoo

i have an 07, my 1st harley, so cant compare to the older motor and tranny, but never had trouble with the floorboards. just decided to swap for forwards. the front end isnt a problem till you wanna put a different front end on it, at leat thats the only troble ive had out of the offset

I also have an 06 and would like the 6 spd even more than I would prefer the bigger motor.
But the floorboards are great. I didn't know whether I'd like them or not when I first started
considering the Fatboy but now I wouldn't want a bike without them.

Rode a FatBob for awhile, then a V-Rod, neither have floorboards. My 09 FatBoy however has them, it took me all of a 1 day ride and I was convinced that I like them. Great comfort. You will get used to them pretty quick. Hope this helps.

My floorboards are extended and they don't get in the way, I guess if I were vertically challenged they might. I rode a friends Dyna recently, I couldn't deal with pegs on a daily basis.

I love my Fattie. I have ordered the Harley Fwd Controls kit for mine this week. I think it will be more comfortable for me. We are all different. I like to have my legs kicked out further and the floorboards just don't feel right to me.
