Default time to change the floorboards

went to dealer today to buy new floorboard inserts. my whole bike is done in edge cut. i got them and started looking and realized that the inserts would not work on my bike. i had to argue w/ dealer about it and finally convinced him. so now i have to buy new floorboards that will accept the edge cut style inserts. they want $160 for them luckily i found a guy at the dealer that was some new take offs that he is selling me for $75. i dont understand why they make everything for my bike in edge cut except that. damn HD always gets more money from me lol

Floorboards on a motorcycle? Interesting concept.
I must be getting old because I can remember when people bought motorcycles to ride them, not decorate and admire them.
