Default Question re: Floorboards
Being as I am not a fan of the stock floorboards on my 05 Deluxe, I took advantage of installing the swept wing floorboards my husband removed from his Streetglide. I think they look hot. He thinks the stock floorboards look better because they enhance the "old school" look.

Soooo... I was just curious as to what the general consensus was: stock or change those babies out?

I prefer the half moon style, but like the swept wing on your bike much better.

I've got a new (to me) '06 and I like the stock. But seeing those Swept Wings, I think I like those better. And they go with your brake pedal. Just my $.02.

I like the stock pans myself, but the Swepts do look good! They have the same feel on the bike?

The half-moon board would look the best, IMHO.
