"Harleygoodies" is now Vtwin Goodies. Some A**hat at the MOCO was not happy with their past name and made them change it.

The vtwingoodies extensions first; minivibe sole on your boots(get them resoled if they're comfee, I did); and put a tab on your floorboards to keep your boots off the pipes. It's what I have done and it works for me. Also about two bikes ago I had an Electra Glide that had plenty of wear and tear on it. The floorboards had a downward tilt I assume from wear. I took them off and built Up where they rested with weld which gave me a little tilt inward which worked out well.

Kinda thought a chopper with pegs forward would be fun for an experiment to see if it could be a do-all kind of Road Bike.

Mine is a dream come true. If you like boards and have them set to where you are in heaven then kudos to YOU. I love riding with guys that can keep up with me, pass me, and teach my old sorry a** a thing or two.

But so far I gotta say my forward pegs actually offer the most comfortable ten hour stretched out ride I ever had. A dream come true.

Same, but I also haven't worn boots in years. I prefer a good running type athletic shoe. Yes I understand the lack of ankle protection.... you may now start the flaming posts!
