I think you have to go with forward controls. Not just swapping boards for pegs. Could be wrong... Hopefully so cause that would be great to try.

YEAH, leave it alone!!! Many guys have converted, only to go back to the floorboards. Try checking out the KURYAKYN MARK 3 CRUISE ARMS, this way you have the best of both worlds. Rest your feet flat when you want, or stretch them out on the pegs. Just like forward controls, I LOVE IT! Bought the MARK 3s on e-bay, for a great deal. GOOD LUCK!

I was looking at swapping the footboards out for forward controls when I still had my deluxe. Basically, I decided that when the time came (which never did since I traded for a street glide) that I would do this....

1. Purchase and install an engine guard
2. Mount highway pegs on said engine guard
3. Purchase and install the Harley Goodies footboard extensions

Now, like I said, I did none of that, but as you are seeing as well as I did...removing the footboards seems to be something that people have done and then undone.

Still, I need to get the extensions for my street glide.
