I hurt my back a few weeks ago and haven't been able to ride until a couple days ago. I went for about a 50 mile ride and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to scrap the floorboards now and put forward controls on. With this pinched nerve I just can't take riding with my legs bent--I need to stretch out. I was in agony by the time I got back to the house.

So, if anyone is interested, my complete floorboard set up will be listed in the for sale forum in the near future.

 

PM sent..

 

What did you do Gary? Damage a disk somehow? My wife had surgery on hers a few years ago and it's buggin her again. Hope you heal up.

 

Arrrrggg I missed it...

Ok, I may not be able to do it anyway, but put me 2nd on the list in case the first guy doesn't want the floorboards....

 

Why not install highway pegs?

 

I don't think that will help except on long Interstate jaunts, which I rarely do. All during the ride the other day I tried putting my feet on the crash bar to stretch my legs. It gave me some momentary relief but every time I had to pull back to the floorboards the pain would come back.

 

Ordered the forward controls yesterday and they should be here by UPS on Friday. Weather permitting, I'll put 'em on Saturday and then my floorboards will be for sale.

 

go to a chiropractor and get yourself adjusted i just threw out my back about 4 weeks ago and went to the chiro about 4 times and i feel great now no pinched nerve or neck pain anymore...

 

My boards are on the Dyna sale forum.

 

How are the forwards working out?
