Help!!! Right foot slides off floor board
Is it just me, or does this bother someone else? At 65 mph & up, my right foot slips rearward on the floor board. My boot heel rests against the heel shifter on the left side, which keeps my left foot from moving aft at higher speeds. Sure wish I could come up with an easy add-on to the right floor board to act as a back stop for my heel. Anybody make such a thing, or has anyone come up with a home made gizmo to fit the bill?

I've seen heel stops, they are out there. I think mostly meant to keep your heel from burning on the pipes
current bikes don't really vibrate enough to shake your feet off, got slippy soles or armor all polish on your rubber?

The boards are the Streamliner, which is standard on the RGC. No armor all has been applied. I wear Cruiserworks motorcycle boots, which have a good rubber sole with plenty of grip. The wind at speed just makes my foot want to move aft.

Streamliners have no bite from what I have seen. That's the only reason I haven't changed my Ultra to them. I have the same issue when wearing my boots with large lug treads. The wind catches them. Believe it or not I have no problem with my smooth soled work shoes, well except that I have no traction when I put my feet down at red lights.

It's funny you mention this.. I've had a similar problem. The heel rest may be a good option, but do you also feel like your foot slides off the side to front of the floor board as well sometimes?
