Hey Buck...
the bike looks pretty damn good like it is in the photo...
99% of the people lookin wont even put that together.. (no back seat with floor boards) So if you are not driven crazy with it that way ...who cares what the rest think?

yeah... guess I'll leave them on, only takes two minutes to swap seats when the OL feels like going for a ride..which is rare, be more of a hassle on/off on/off with them than just leaving them on.

was just throwing it out there ...

bike looks real nice. another option is pegs, smaller than the floorboards. How are you liking the pipes?

That looks fine on your bike

I have street glide pegs on my EG Classic- rarely have the OL on, she rides if she wants.

Got 'em used from a forum member about $50.

Nice not to hit my right calf when paddling the bike around the driveway.

1 bolt on each side and they're off, that's what I'd do. Never liked hitting my shins/ankles on them when moving the bike around anyways.

When I ride my bike in a solo-seat configuration, I remove the passenger floorboards and fill the two ugly screw holes one each side with a couple of polished stainless steel hex bolts.

It takes maybe five minutes to add the floorboards back on.
