Default Anybody installed floorboards on the New Wide Glide yet?

I have about 2,000 miles on my new Wide Glide and shortly after I purchased it I installed Harley Davidson pegs with heel rests. While they are an improvement over the stock pegs I am still not completely satisfied.I spoke with someone that has the 2 Orange Harley floorboards on his Wide Glide that is several years old.He seems to be pretty pleased but I was hoping to find someone with the new style Wide Glide that had installed boards so I could see a picture. I might add that this is my first bike with forward controls and I did have floorboards on my last bike. I am 5'7 with 30 inch inseam and the forward controls do seem pretty comfortable. My only complaint is when I ride on the highway my right foot seems to want to move. The 2 Orange Harley adjustable floorboards look like they might be the solution but I wanted to see if maybe somebody is using something else they would recommend. Thanks for your comments.

I have the same issue with both this being my first bike with forward controls and a 30" inseam. I dont think I would put floor boards on the wide glide because I like the look of the forward controls. I have the Wide Glide for solo rides, mostly short distance and my 05 Road King for 2 up or long rides.
I think if my right leg didnt hit the air cleaner, the pegs would not be a issue.

try adjusting the angle of the heel rests first. Move em up or down to relocate the angle your feet meet the pegs. Also with your shorter inseam, the air cleaner cover could be coming into play if you still have the stock one.

C908,
Which pegs did you go with? If you do go with the boards send me a PM and I will buy your old ones. R/
