Default How to remove floorboards and add pegs?

I'm not quite sure where this rates on the dumb question scale; but here it goes. I want to remove the floor boards on my 09' xbones and install pegs. What all does this entail? Products needed? What all gets removed? Pictures?

You will need to put forward controls. I like floorboards better, but it is a personal choice.

The Harley ones are the shortest fwd ctrls in the market. In some other brands you can find +1,2,3 inches extended. Answering your question, go seat on a bike which has factory forward controls, if you reach 'em ok (which I think you will) then, there you go.

Mimo.

Yea i think you will be fine. Mine are a little close being so tall. I could use the extensions, but too lazy to get and install them.
