Default Long floorboards

Do the long aftermarket floorboards extend to the rear far enough so you can stand up ?

Maybe I am not awake enough but have no clue what your question clearly is. I have the longest (21 3/4") Cyclesmiths banana boards on one of my bikes and standing on them is ill advised. The mounting bracket is a weak link and will bend. This I know from first hand experience.

Thanks for your reply. I was looking at those banana boards. I just like to stand up a bit while riding to air out or stretch a little once in a while. I can use my passenger boards but there a little to high. It does look like those long boards would need another bracket farther back.

I have the Harley extended floorboards.

I don't believe standing on them would be a problem due to weight, but unlike my old rice burner they are simply too far forwards to make standing practical.


I have found the best I can do is push off to unweight sufficiently to shift in the seat or lessen the impact of expansion joints or other road imperfections.
