Help with Hardware
Ok so I installed the floorboard brackets on my fxst and now have the boards to mount to the brackets. I need to know what hardware to use.
Are the boards supposed to pivot up out of the way whereas I would need somekind of shoulder bolt or are they just bolted in place and then I could just use a good stainless bolt with washers and nuts ?

Pivot YES, Rigid NO
The boards on my 2001 Fatboy pivot up, which is a good thing when you lay it into a tight corner. I have scraped the boards a few times without even trying. I would hate for them to be rigid and dig into the asphalt. It could throw you for a loop. Not a good idea!
If they pivot up a little, you just push them back down and keep riding.
