Sorry to high jack the OPs thread just a question for Lortsie and Lightafatty just wondered if you ever checked the lower part of your frame bags followed a guy the other day with one every time he went round a sharp bend it dragged on the ground, wouldn't take long to wear a hole in it at the rate he was going.
I have my swing arm bag mounted higher than the primary cover so it doesn't rub at all. Only thing on my bike that has rubbed on the ground is my kickstand on a super sharp turn.

Yeah I looked at this yesterday because I was changing the leather strap mounting a bit and there are no marks on it at all. As Light said my primary/kickstand would rub first also.

Not that it matters but I much prefer running boards over pegs. It just seems it gives me more room to position my feet and to be able to move them around more than I can on or with peg's. I thought about going to forward controls a while back but after I rode a buddies bike with the forward controls I didn't much like them. Just food for thought. Also x1ridr, thats one of the nicer Fatboy's that I have seen, what kind of front end is that on your bike?

It just felt like I was limited in how I wanted to place my feet. Just food for thought.

I have 3" extended forwards on my Lo.
Trouble is, HD doesn't make a direct kit to go from boards to extended forwards so I had to buy 2 kits and use the pieces I needed.
I think I still have the std forward brackets somewhere (already sold the floorboards, sorry wiseguy2day)
