Heres the deal.

Already changed out my grips to the Chrome and Rubber Horizontal Hand Grips


Also did the Heel/Toe Shifter Pegs, and brake with Chrome and Rubber Shifter Peg, and Chrome and Rubber FL Brake Pedal Pad


Now heres the delema.........

I had the Chrome and Rubber Rider Footboard Inserts in my hands today at the dealers but didn't really like them.


So I bought and installed Nostalgic Rider Footboard Insert Kit instead.


Good or bad Idea???
I did't like all the horizontal lines I would be getting going with the matching floorboard, andI "think" the Logo Board fits in ok.

I think they look fine. I would, of course, would have gone with the Kuryakyn ISO grips instead.

I like the decison. The nostalgic isn't as busy looking, the other gives me a headache. Post a pic with both mounted so we can see them together. BUT, in the end, it is your scooter. On my rk custom it has the streamliner set, whichI love. Nice that I like it and don't have to switch them out. Buying parts is never ending.

Mine are like the chrome and rubber ones you had at first except I have the horizonal rubber on everything. I like everything matching and the 1/2 horizonal and 1/2 vertical would drive me nuts. But then again, I'm a littly nutty anyway.

Looks like it should work pretty well. Looks cool together, IMHO.

All looks very nice , but i had those grips on my Sporty and after a while , the rubber ends up peeling off , and ends up all over your hands . I guess its too late to change your mind , but i just thought i would let you know.
