I've seen a few that look ok but I hate to have to spend $65.00 a piece for them. Any suggestions. I have to clean boot gunk off my pipes daily.

 

I tried Dr. Boot and they didn't work for me. Got these and they work very well. Yes, they cost but they work and save me the hassle of burned boots.

You may want to give floorboard extenders a try. They are a heck of a lot cheaper.

 

deltasnook has the right answer. they really do bring your feet out away from the pipes.

 

+1 on the Carl Miles heel guard.

 

I used them on my Fat Boy but I don't seem to have a problem with the Street Glide. But I do have the SOOS 1" extentions.

I'll sell you a used "Turned Down" model for $50 shipped.

email me if you want one.

Turn Down:

 

I thought about a boot guard but after putting a set of 1" Soos extenders on there really hasn't been a need for the guard. Can't remember the last time I left a boot mark on the pipes since the extender install.

 

+1 on the 1" Soos extenders, put them on front and back over a year ago, haven't had a boot touch the pipes since, front or back ............

 

Thanks for all the great information. I had considered the extenders.
Do they cause you to scrape the boards more frequently?
Is is weird that the brake and shift pedals remain inward while the boards move out?

 

The extensions are the answer. I only have to clean boot crap off the pipes if I get lazy with my foot placement. Yes, you can scrape the boards more frequently once the extensions are in place. But so long as you expect it in a large lean, you're okay. I did not have any problems with the shifter placement after installing the board extension on that side. In fact, I would still like to extend the length of my heel shifter so I can fit my size 12 motorboat on the board more comfortably.
