Default Arlen Ness Contrast Floorboard Feedback wanted

Looking for riders that have the contrast cut boards on their bikes. Pictures welcome.
I'm interested to know how they are holding up to riding wear, scratching, scuffing from your boots. Someone raised the concern to me that they may start to wear off due to boot chaffing.

Who's got them, how long they been on for and how do they look after miles?

I was hoping you were going to get some replies to this also. I've had my eye on a set of these myself & was wondering the same thing.

Love the look, could just see them being a mess if you had sand on the bottom of your boot or something.

exactly! I have no shortage of sand & gravel in my neck of the words either. Don't want to lay out close to five Benji's to run around with boards that look like a mess later on.

Can't speak on the boards but in general Ness components are overpriced and designed for looks more than function.
