rear floorboards on fatboy
i know alot of fatboy riders would never put rear floorboards on their girl, but as a cool, but practical bike, i want to put them on for long rides with my wife. my question is, i purchaced harley davidsons floorboard support kits part # 50399-05 because their supposed to fit my flstfi fatboy. i wanted them in chrome, but is only available in black for my bike. i have lower vance and hines longshots h&s exhaust on my bike, and because of this, these support kits will not work on the right side. they are made for fatboys staggered higher original exhaust system, so because of this, i wonder if the "chrome" support kit part number 50460-06 that was supposed to work on all 00 and later softails(except flstf) now work on my bike?

RE: rear floorboards on fatboy
Hey JWIZ and HD4ME
I'm looking into installing the HD passenger D-shape floorboards as well. I have a 04 Fat Boy with V&H Big Shot Staggered pipes. The top of the upper pipe is about .25 inches below the stock passenger footpeg, and the top of the rear pivot bolt.
I was at the dealer and looked at 50602-00 softtail passenger floorboard kit. It was questionable if the kit would fit my set-up without a little grinding for clearance. I was told by one of the wrenches that the 'fatboy' floorboard mounting kit 50399-05 (mounting brackets only / black, not chrome), should fit with these pipes...he also said he installed the Heritage Floorboard mounts on a FB with the same V&H pipes, but the customer thought they looked too wide for the FB. The dealer didn't have the 50399-05 in stock so they need to be ordered. These mounts will accept several HD floorboards (check the HD website)
HD4ME...How do you like the Heritage passenger floorboard mounts?? Are they wide like I was told??
I would like to know if anyone tried 50399-05 mounts with V&H Big Shot Staggered pipes. Do the mounts clear the top pipe??
JWIZ...Good luck. I will probaby order the 50399-05 mount kit along with D-Shape floorboards. I'm thinking a little grinding on the mount if necessary. I will probably also grind/taper the chrome pivot bolt covers a little so they can be reinstalled over the floorboard mount tabs at the pivot bolt. Please post your solution when you have one.

I don't think they look that wide. I actually like the fact that the floorboard is not as close to the pipes vs the pegs with stock exhaust ( I still would like to know who thought that was a good design-footpeg between two exhaust pipes). The brackets go about 2" past the exhaust and when folded up are just about even with the rider footboards.
If I didn't have such a POS digital camera I would take pics.
Hope this helps.
