passenger floorboards
OK here's the situation. I've got an 08 streetglide and the wife and I put a lot of miles on together. After 2 years we finally upgraded the seat to a Sundowner and we're looking at what other comfort upgrades would be worth the money.
I just bought a set of hiway pegs and it was a huge improvement for me.
What I need input on though is how much difference do floorboards make over the stock SG pegs for the passenger. I would like to buy streamliner FBs and move the pegs to the front on the hiway pegs. Is it worth the $315.00 (M&M cycles) I can get the FB's for?
I would appreciate feedback from anyone that's done it. What do your wives say about the upgrade?
Thanks

The streamliner passenger boards look great. I wanted them but couldn't see paying that much. I bought some HD old school boards on ebay for about a third of that price. The wife is happy. I can't imagine making her ride on back for any distance with the stock pegs.

I replaced my passenger footpegs I had on to the H-D rear streamliner floorboards. I'd watch the classifieds here on the forum, I bought my set here for way less from a member. I also added the floorboard extensions from Harleygoodies for both the front and rear. The wifey loves'em.

I AM the Wife, and I have floorboards on our Ultra, plus he gave me highway pegs. Gives me alternate sitting positions and we can ride for many hours before stopping. I made sure I am off the pegs, and down on the boards when we are in the city. Invest in your wife's comfort, you will reap the rewards!

I realize this isn't quite the same.... I recently changed from a Fatboy (with passenger pegs) to a Road King (with stock passenger floorboards). the GF was very appreciative.

Check out ebay or amazon, sometimes they are cheaper - we had those and other accessories put on in our bike deal.
Good luck!

My g/f likes the boards better. She said she can move her feet around vs them feeling like they are locked in with pegs. Being a short guy, at stops they hit me in the back of the legs. I ride solo most of the timne since she has her own bike. I have some Stealth boards for sale in the ads.
