Default Goodies installed!!!!

I got my floorboard extensions AND my riders backrest today. The install took about 10 minutes total. It really feels like I'm riding down the road in a recliner now...sooooooo comfy.

I'm seriously considering those floorboard extensions... can you give us a little road review?

Plus one for extensions. I love them. They put your feet out further and you don't feel like your cramped around the tank anymore.

I've been considering those too. I keep getting the feeling like my feet are gonna blow off the side of the boards when I'm on the highway.

Stock position just didn't feel natural to me. Kept feeling like my foot was going to slip off the board.

Put the Harleygoodies on and problem gone. Moved the boards out about an inch but it makes a big difference in the feel.

May be a personal thing or something particular to the Heritage as the wife doesn't have a problem with her Deluxe.

she probably has smaller feet than you... first thing I thought to myself when I got on the bike was "wow, this would be way better if I didn't have size 10's"

this is my first bike with the heel-toe shifter, I think the extensions are going to be perfect
