Default Floorboard Opinions

I am looking for a new set of floorboards. Below is a picture of my bike. Give me some ideas! I like the carl brouhard floorboards, but not looking to spend more than $350 for a set.

May be hard to do for $350,. cause IMO U need to follow through with the flow of Ur bike, not just change out the fronts.
.
I mean U need the on Ur front boards, rears boards, brake and shifters.. Very few will let U get by for the money Ur talking...

I like what on my bike when they are clean. buttttt there a BiT(H to clean and keep clean.

I'm talking $350 just for the fronts. I'll have to get matching rears too.

With the black theme you have going I think the Banana Boards would look killer. They have a 14" ($219) and 19" ($299), the 19" would be killa! I was going to go with them but I'm dripping in chrome.

Search around you may even find them for a little less.

Those are the nostalgia inserts (D Shape) but you would have to pick up a pair of the foorboards...there are always some on Ebay. If you are going that route check out the half moons as well. Harder to find the nostalgia inserts for those but not impossible.

Me personally I don't think you are locked into the nostalgia/retro theme. You could do allot of different stuff with what you got going.
