Looks like a Mustang Seat with built in rider back rest. Possibly their super touring seat. I have one of super touring and they are awesome.

And you still clicked on it and replied twice, just saying.

Well, yes, because I scratch my head. I personally try to put stuff where it belongs *as a courtesy to others*, but like I said, the forums have become an amorphous blob of disorganized posts, with 2018 softail owners asking about bags in the M8 forum, when it really belongs in the softail forum, people posting about dyna low riders in the touring forums, etc etc. Yes, I'm a freak, but I just think it would be nice to have it be a bit more organized.

Plus, in a post about floorboards, posting in the touring forum would get you a wider audience anyway. Whatever, I guess I'm just weird about this stuff.

Passenger boards especially. Also wondering about comfort for them. They look thinner in the back and look like maybe your feet would come off, or maybe affect the heel-toe shift.

Definitely a sweet looking collection, but holy hell are they expensive. Anything similar I should look at that may be a little less expensive??

I have the Defiance floor boards on my Anniversary Fatty and love them. Yes, they are a little narrower in the rear, but also offer more front to back room for shifting your feet. Kinda pricey but the look matches well with my other Defiance accessories. I saved a little money by using Defiance passenger pegs rather than floor boards for the rear. One thing that might account for the extra expense is the fact that the Defiance boards are machined billet aluminum as opposed to the stamped steel used on the stockers.
