Here at work with not enough to do and I was doing a little internet shopping and was wondering. Can you replace the floorboards on a streetglide with pegs instead? Not sure I want to do it but was curious if it would work. I would like to remove my engine guard and still wanted highway pegs. That led me to the Rivco website where they make a set of frame mounted clamps to mount highway pegs to. That got me to exploring the idea of replacing the boards with pegs as well. For some reason I have never felt totally comfortable with boards as much as pegs on my other bikes. Maybe it is having your heel firmly planted on a peg but thought I would see if anyone had tried it.

 

yes you can, should you,....... no...... just an opinion, its soooo much better with floor boards.

 

Interesting idea....

Personally, about 98% of the time only my heel is on the floor board with my toes resting on the HWY Pegs.

I find feet on floorboards awkward but that is just me...

Post up if you ever do it.

 

Personally, I prefer the floorboards over pegs and have had them on my last three Harley's.

 

I switched out the boards for Streamliner pegs.Much more room for me when their down and my wife likes the pegs better.

 

Most of the forward controls for touring bikes require the removal of the engine guard. I think Jaybrake has forward controls that let you keep the crashbar.

 

I’ve only owned bikes with floorboards. I think if I had a bike without them it would feel weird to me. I would never consider removing the floorboards from a touring bike (hence the name touring) you want comfort don’t you? Of course I also have pegs so it allows me to try several positions.

 

I've had both pegs and floorboards, no way I would want to go back to pegs, but to each his own.

 

Yeah, to each his own............. I would never want to give my foot boards up for pegs.

I move around on the floor boards.... I had to remove the heel shifter to toe only... it

got in my way of boot movement..........hdman

 

Here are a couple of sites the have foward controls for touring bikes. I was going to put the Jaybrake on my Street Glide, thinking of doing it to the RG.
