Footboards Full vs mini
Here's a vid on them.
For the last few years, what I have found is the most comfortable are some adjustable trap style pegs with a heel rest. That give adjustability and full foot support.

Out "mini floorboards" are super comfortable. You can see them all at this LINK.

On my other sporty, because it is getting a foot clutch, I've been looking at full size floorboard. I've searched a lot and have not found any I am happy with. The Led Sled ones look nice, but they do not fold up...for me that is not a good thing safety wise.
Since I have not been able to find a satisfactory full size floorboard for the Sporty, I am fabbing some up for the SBS Chop...we'll see how they turn out.

Yeah, I've been running some variation of that set-up with a heel rest since 12 or 13, it is super comfortable.

I tried the pegs with heel rests, mini's, mid's and now full size.
Direct peg replacement, fully adjustable.

Yes, I looked at both of those. I really liked that they're adjustable & they do fold up, so I bought a pair. But the brackets push the floorboards out almost two inches further than pegs...way too far for my tastes and the huge reduction in lean angle just doesn't work for me either.
But they did get my wheels turning on how to fab up something similar, but tucked in close to the bike.

If you want full floorboards, that is a possibility. I normally would not want full floorboards on a Sporty, my desire on this particular one is because I think it will be better when using a foot clutch.

That the footboards do cut the lean angle is a question I hadn't considered. Good of you to bring that up
This could be interesting. Do let me know how long it will take and what the cost would be. Not sure if the fact that I am working with a 2011 Superlow will change anything but let me know. Now I am curious. BTW, I did change the shocks but they are stock height so.....
