floor boards
Am I the only person to find boards less comfortable then pegs? I had a 2012 Slim and the position with the boards made my legs to want to spread all the time and was causing a discomfort in my legs like if I was always forcing to keep my legs in. Then I tried a breakout with the regular softail forwards and it felt so comfy.

i had pegs for years, but i always felt like my feet were dancing around looking for a good position. plus they stated to hurt the arch in my foot. i know i could of gotten floor boards for any of my bike, but for a long time it was all about the look of the bike as well. well floor boards look great on my fatboy, but also feel fantastic. plus there are more positions i can have my feet in on them. it's all about preference.

I had trouble with the boards on my Slim at first. My upper leg muscles and hip joints would hurt if I rode any length of time. Got 2.5" extended rear brake lever, eliminated heel shifter and got 2.5" extended front shifter. Can ride all day now, move my feet around wherever I want...although my heels usually end up at the outside front of the boards.

I like having an engine guard and highway pegs to mix it up. I have the HD adjustable highway pegs and most of the time I rest my heel on my boards and put the ball of my foot on the pegs, similar to how your feet are in a car.
And an engine guard is great for saving paint and bars if you ever drop the bike by mistake in sand or at slow speeds.

I won't ride a bike with floorboards for any length of time without them...feels to cramped up.
