I'm looking to buy new foot pegs for my Sportster, but I don't think floorboards would look right I would like to have somewhat the comfort they provide. Any suggestions or direction to a website?
Take a look at DK Customs BMX style pegs, I think those will be my next set. I like the fact that you can adjust the angle, I'm thinking they would be every bit as comfortable as floorboards, but look a whole lot better on a Sportster.

I have both the Boot Dr mini floor boards and the HD Heel Raisers. Both work great. The mini floor boards are better for long hauls and the Heel Raisers are better for urban settings. I switch them around often.

I use those Heel Risers on my forward controls. I love them a lot. When in the city I swing them in and out of the way but on the freeway or long, not too twisty roads, I swing them out for a really supportive ride.
Rode down to Fink's HD in Zanesville today and found some that will work for the price and fit. My bike has an aftermarket forward controls that take only female peg mounts which is opposite of stock. My options are somewhat limited.

Once they're adjusted they work well. On long runs I prefer the mini boards in the mid position. the Heel Raisers were comfortable in the highway peg position while on my trip. Right now though, I have them on the mid position for daily riding.

You have to read the fine print on some of these pegs/boards. I bought the H-D Heel Raisers and got them home only to find out they do not fit on a 2012 Custom with forward controls. I do not understand why H-D makes different mounts and why they don't make the pegs to fit all. I was really disappointed. Now I really am hesitant to buy any pegs online for fear of having to return them because they won't fit my bike.
