FWIW 2 different HD Dealers told me that to put floorboards on my 07 FXSTC I would need to change to an FL front end, becuse the FX front end allows to much lean into turns to be safe for floorboards (and yes I know they're hinged)
Not my thoughts, just adding what I was told.
I went with the HD mini floor boards and love them, they are splined so that I can set any angle I prefer for them. And I find they suit me perfectly.

As stated previously, a Crossbones uses floorboards with the narrow style springer front end.

My argument is not with you, it is with the idiots that are telling you information that is flat out wrong. Independent shops usually are better about knowing what works and what doesn't.

So I was riding home yesterday and a big rig decided to cut into me while he merged into my lane and his front wheel literally cut my front peg right off! I felt my foot get bumped and I immediately pulled it up and when I looked down my peg was gone. I was so happy that I didn't get hurt that I started laughing and for some reason my mood turned into a great feeling of wellness lol.
Anyways I'm looking to replace my peg but then thought maybe a set of floorboards would be nice. I've not seen anyone with a FXSTC and floorboards and I'm not sure if it would look good on my bike or not.
If anyone here has a FXST or FXSTC with front boards please post up some pictures. Having a hell of a time finding any on google.
Here is a shot of my front peg!!
