Floorboard Extensions or Forwards???
I have a '10 Fatboy Lo and the boards just arent forward enough for me. I need a little more stretch. I want to either move the boards forward 2" or get forwards. Not really sure which way to go yet. Iv looked around some and it seems like forwards are pretty expensive, but i think i would really like the look and feel. I really dont wanna spend more than i need to though.
Any input? What do you recommend and how much will it cost?

I've tried both. I outfitted my previous bike ('01 FXSTI) with extended forward controls and heel rests. I thought that was very comfortable.
Then I got my '10 Xbones. I put Kuryakin extenders forward and out 1". This is by far more comfortable than my FXST. I also removed the heel shifter because my foot always landed on it when I put my foot back on the boards.
The bottom line is that boards are more comfortable. They spread the weight over your entire foot instead of the surface of the peg.

I had the CC bolt on Floorboard kit on my FXST, it felt amazing, later and after a small mis-hap, they get bent badly, I had to remove them and put pegs back.. and BOY OH BOY, was I ever pissed, I really miss the Boards so much I went and bought a set of boards kit from a member here who converted his fatboy as well.
Point is, Boards are AMAZING and even for the new bobber look, they fit great, so I would go with extending them.
After the install is finished in the winter time , my forward controls will be up for sale
