I wonder what the failure rate is for the guys with floorboard extensions? I had them on my 07 and had no issue. Just bought some for my new to me 09.
I can't see how anyone can ride without them. Matter of fact, when I was just sitting in the garage and wondered why it felt funny, looked own and it hit me..extensions!!
That could have broken off when your OL stood up on it to adjust her drawers, or something. That's why the MoCo now uses grade 8 bolts on floorboards and a few other places. Don't go cheap on the fasteners if you replace them.

My OL only got to ride on it 1 time before this happened. And I 100% agree with you and always do replace any that are placed under torque with new G8's, no matter what. Just not worth the aftermath headache.
I just bought an 09 SE Ultra in the beginning of Oct. and was getting it out of the garage today for a short ride before work and it felt funny on the right side. Started bike up and was looking it over and noticed the whole damn passenger floorboard was gone!!!!!!! The only thing left was the bracket where it bolts to the bike. The bolt that holds it to the bracket broke off even with the bracket and gone it is!!!!!!!! It is a full matching set, driver and passenger. Called the dealer and am awaiting the reply.
Sorry to hear that.....always check the fasteners during the periodic maintenance interval....this will help to avoid an issue like this in the future.
