Floor board opinion
Im up in the air about what floor boards to mount on my bike. Banana boards or Battistini boards

They both look good. Just want to figure out which look better on my set up and which I wont get tired of looking at.

Only you can decide that. I've been looking at those bananas too, but have heard some complaints on the chrome peeling. Also do these boards transfer vibrations more than the stock type?
It would seem like it to me. Haven't heard any complaints about this yet, is it an issue?

If I was getting Harley Footboards I guess they wouldnt look stupid on a bike

However I still think I would rather get floorboards

Besides money, the vibration has been my main thought as well. I bought the Battistini grips and think the footboards look great too. I worry about spending that much for something that may make my ride a lot less comfortable. Another thought I wonder about is if the Battistini footboards may become slick in the rain.
As far as your question, I still say Battistini. I like the looks more, I personally wouldn't be able to make use of the extra size of the bananas, and it looks like those black dots are raised rubber that may help with the vibration I previously addressed.

I currently have the Paul Yaffe Wedgy floorboards also. I have had the 18" banana boards before that. I really like both of them. They both give multiple locations for the feet, which is nice since I have no engine guard with highway pegs.
