Driver Floorboards for 02 FXDWG???
I have always wanted to upgrade to floorboards on my Wide GLide. I have only seen two sets in the J&P catalog. One looks worthless and the other looks pretty decent. The ad talks about having plenty of "fore" and "aft" movement. whatever the hell that is? Anyway, I just wanted to see if any of you Wide Gliders have floorboards, and which ones do you prefer? Thanks and ride safe!

Jake88,
I searched for a long time for boards for my 01 WG. I ended up getting HD heel rests instead and am very pleased. As far as boards go, the ones you are looking at represent the best option I found. For me, it ended up being an aesthetics decision. I don't think the boards would look right with my setup. They look great on Lolife's Bob. I'm still a little curious how they would feel. I hope you will post your experience with them when/if you purchase.

What do you think about your heel rest? I was looking at doing those as well but I am on the fence. I installed the Kuryakyn forward control extention kit, and now when I am out for a long ride my legs get tired. I thought if I put the heel rest on I could cut down on the fatique a little bit.

I have the exact same boards that Lolife has and I must agree that they are very comfy. I really do not mind the look. It is kinda different and that may be why I like them, not just anyone has boards on a "Bob" or in your case a w glide. Good luck in whatever you do.

RE: Driver Floorboards for 02 FXDWG???
Thanks guys!Good advice and info all the way around. I have kicked around getting the heel rests vs. the floor boards for a couple of years. I am embarrassed to say that I still have the stock pegs. They are almost completely bald. ANyways, I will be making a decision in the next month and I will post the results. Thanks!
