I felt they were the only parts that werent chromed from the factory that should have been. They dont look right being black. They were the first and to date only chrome I have added.

Can't stand the sight of black floorboards on a Hog. Chrome floorboards are one of the most reasonably priced bolt-on visual upgrades available from HD. Definitely worth the $ IMO.

Default Covers - Yes

I prefer the covers over the dull black stock floor board. But that's just me.

I've had the chrome covers on all of my bikes since the early 90's. Can't stand the black.

I like them a lot! They are on mine, but the HD covers.

When I got my first FLHT in '99, a friend of mine would point at his chrome floor board covers every time we came to a stop--so I gave in and got some.
