Default Question on Defiance Floorboards

Hey guys. Really like the Defiance series from HD. The floorboards especially. I think they would look great on the RKS. Does anyone have a picture of what they look like folded up?? 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 them for rider on my RK, love them, no picture of folded up but with the extended shifter and my long legs and boot size I rarely use my highway pegs..they are very tight on clearance from exhaust tho..might not work well with some aftermarket pipes..sorry no passenger ones so this might not help much

Nice bike bud. Boards look great too. Thanks for the info on the clearances. I'll have to keep that in mind. You gotta get those passenger boards now! Gotta complete the look!!

Floorboards? We're talking about floorboards in an M8 forum? SMH.

You for real?? This is a Harley Davidson forum. There is about 60 sub forums on here. I have a Harley Davidson. Said Harley Davidson has an M8. I didn’t see a floorboards sub forum. Sorry I didn’t pick the right one for your liking. What other things ruffle your jimmies in here so I can be sure not to set you off again??

I have them on my 2015 RGS. I am using a Lindby bar on the bike and I had to modify the front foot board mounts and shave the boards a little to get them to clear the bar. They clear the stock crash bar just fine.




Here is a picture with the passenger boards folded up.

Its an engine forum. Those boards fit every bike since several centuries ago Belongs in the touring forum. But the admin don't care, it's become an amorphous blob of posts.

Awesome. That’s exactly what I was looking for. Thanks man. And that is a sweet looking ride. Love that color combo.

Sub forum you mean. I know they fit every bike. That wasn’t the question, Keith. And I see now that maybe I should’ve put this in the Touring SUB forum. But I wound up getting the answers I was looking for, thanks to MJ and Stonecold. Ill be sure to only post engine questions here. You keep Mall Copping tho.

as far as I'm concerned this this forum is for all things Milwaukee 8 including dressing up with accessories, performance, whatever and tons of people interpret it the same as evidenced by everything from handlebars, to infotainment to tires to even the most sacred topic of all..fluids! seen so many cool mods done to this new generation of Harleys with new products released specifically for them, etc., been very helpful to so many folks in so many ways
