I kept my train and 3" extensions, just converted to floorboards... A lot cheaper than getting a new bike.
Thanks.
I bought it new in 07.
Now has 27,000 miles on it.
Time to start over on something else.

Guy offered me asking price within 3 days of saying it was for sale.
I should have the money in a day or so.

It took me a couple of days to get used to putting
my feet down (when stopping) a little further out than with pegs. The heel shifter is a matter of taste. If you
don't like it you can remove it or leave it and just not use it. Overall I find the boards super comfortable.

The sale of my Train is final so time for shopping.

Thanks to a very good friend, I was able to put about 150 miles on his 2008 Fatboy. Floorboards and heel/toe shifter was easy to get used to. I'm sold on the set up. I would have to replace that stock seat, but I really liked the way the bike handled.

Thanks again for all the input.

I have the floor boards on my heritage classic and love them. I have just added a new crash bar and am going to put the highway pegs on it but I have not decided which peg to go with just yet. I would not go back to pegs after riding with the boards.
