Having never been real happy with the homemade forward controls I built for my Softail after being left turned by a lil ol' lady years ago (another story for another time...lol) I figured I'd give a set of floorboards a try. As Mailman said in his thread on his spiffy new ride, the ability to adjust your feet around on longer rides sounded rather appealing.

Found a set of stock boards on FB for next to nothing so away we went...

...added a few rubber buttons for the grip factor...20220417_172320.jpg

...Fabed up some mounting brackets and got 'em mounted...

Still got a few odds and ends to button up but think they'll work out decent.
Not sure if I'm gonna go with the heel/toe set up yet but that's easy enough to try both ways.

You do realize that you're gonna have to watch out for athletes foot and toenail fungus now ,right?
