floor boards on Wide Glide

[wanna ride]

Anyone ever put floor boards on a WG that has forward controls , I'd like to see a pic of how it would look for mine and where I can get some.

No one yet, I think if it was possible

they would make the long rides that much more enjoyable.

HD # 50601-01 floorboard kit for Dyna is an obsolete part number. Do a search on this part number and you will learn lots. I understand you can get the parts separate that comprise the kit but will take some research and $700 or so. Good luck!!

I use Kury wide pegs w/stirrups along with highway pegs gives me a great range of motion for those 300mi rides.

I have floorboards on my 02 WG - both rider and passenger. The passenger boards are HD. The rider boards are these: (about half way down the page - Adjustable Floorboard Kit - part number is CS190505)

Easy install - remove the footpeg, bolt the floorboards in place.

I'll see if I can find some good pics of my bike with the floorboards installed.

OK... I managed to find some pics & upload them to the forum.

Here's a close-up of the right side so you can better see how they mount.

Hmmm... I can't see the pics in my post. Can you? ... I'll see if I can just add the links as well.

links work great, thanks for the pics

Surprising how the floor boards don't take away from the great looking ride, thanks for sharing.

Yeah.... when I was looking at the bike to buy it, I was thinking I'd probably go back to pegs, but, once I started riding it, I really like the boards, so they're staying. Gives you a lot of options on moving your feet around.

I noticed the frame has the mounting locations for mids (for the other Dyna models). I was thinking of buying the brackets and some pegs, just to give me another place for me feet on long trips. I found someone on another forum who had done that - keeps the mid pegs folded up most times.

midnitevil do you have the standard forward controls? I was thinking of adding Kuryakyns 3" extenstion to mine.....any idea if it will or will not work with the aftermarket ones you showed?

I got the mid control brackets off ebay for 40.00 Chrome- and put some mini pilots on them.

Yeah - standard forward controls. The board bolt in place of the peg, so, if you add an extension kit, I can't imagine why they wouldn't work as well.

I'm not sure who made them but I just bought a pair of full size floor boards that bolt right on (in) to where the front foot peg bolts in. I wasn't quite sure myself how well they'd work or how they would look but for the price I couldn't pass them up. I bolted them on last night and rode 25 Hi-way miles today and so far they are far exceeding my expectations. I thought I'd end up taking them back off but so far so good. Pics to come later tonight when I get home from work.

How bout some pics and if you can digup where you got them, I really can;t afford over 400.
