I recently switched the OEM footpegs on my Harley Davidson Sport Glide for the Mini Hex Floorboards by Kuryakyn. I was a bit sceptical about the decision but after a month of riding with them I ready to share my thoughts with you. What do you prefer to ride with, pegs or floorboards?

Been doing this motorcycling thing for 40 years . 10 years on Harleys . If you are under 6' I would say always replace feet forward pegs with footboards . If Over 6' , I would suggest trying footboards . If you have a Dyna (now a softail family) and find out how well they take the bends , then replacing feet forward pegs with boards is highly advised. The range of foot position on boards is well explained in the video . The toe on back edge of board can help with better control in bends , a little used -if ever technique is to weight the footpeg/board , next time you are out , put toe on back of board and push down -don't put any input into the bars -you should find the bike will lean . To be honest , you hardly ever need to to do it in normal road riding but something to have in your riding toolkit.

Thanks for this video. I'd never before considered floor boards, but this video convinced my that I should try them out. I add the Mini Hex floorboards to my Sport Glide and I love them for all the reasons you mentioned. I've got bad knees and being able to move my feet around on a long ride has made riding so much more comfortable. And while my knees don't like being kept tightly bent for long periods, making me a fan of the Sport Glide's forward controls, it's sometimes really nice to be able to get your feet underneath you.

Floorboards. Have to comment on the Indian Springfield. I purchased a 2018 Springfield Darkhorse in Sept 2017. In 1 year of ownership I put 9000 miles on the clock. Damn fine machine. I traded it for the Street Glide Special in August 2018. Another fine machine. Between the 2 the Springfield was more comfortable. Much better suspension and balance. I tell folks that and they are curious why I went back to Harley. Hard to put into words. I suppose in the end I'm a Harley guy. The Street Glide went for the Sport Glide in Sept 2019. Sport Glide is much better for my riding style and comfort. Take care.

Hi Micheal. I scrape the „hero blobs” on my Sport Glide footpegs all the time as we have a lot of winding roads in Europe. I don’t have a problem with repositioning my foot when I lean. I am however looking for more comfort on longer journeys/ touring and I have considered footboards as my feet are always looking for a more comfortable position especially going into the wind. I have no experience with floorboards, but talking to my local dealer about Kuryakyn they told me that the quality had significantly fallen since the company switched production from the USA to China. They have seen a lot of issues with Kuryakyn products, so it would be interesting to see a mid term review of your floorboards and how they are wearing.

What I did not like about the pegs was that my right foot always felt like it was under the rear brake lever so if you had to hit the brake it could add a couple of seconds. The boards are the way to go , more comfort on a long ride. Cheers and safe riding. Your spring is now our winter ☹️.

How tall are you? I’m 5ft 8 and am not sure I would be able to use floor boards with my hight.

Aldo Lopez I am 6ft. You will be fine with floorboards- actually you will probably be better with them! They give you more space to place your feet - closer or further away.

Thanks for a great review! I’m 6.1 and ride a Triumph Speedmaster 2007, nearly the same model as the America. I feel a bit cramped and legs are locked in same position. Would floorboards give me better opportunity to move my feet for different positions? And one last question, you mentioned the name and model of your floorboards, can you write me they name and model in your answer? Once again thanks! 😊

Do you feel more stretched out on pegs or floorboards?

@TheMotoBarista 2 жыл бұрын

Pegs is more stretched. Floorboards you have a lot more movement though so you can have lots of different positions.

I have floorboards on my fatboy and HATE them. They scrape and I think I'm going to crash. Can you please speak to this?

bro, I don't speak English well. what is your tall?

@AdamPundsack 3 жыл бұрын

For tall riders this is terrible as u demonstrated the pegs looked a lot more comfortable. I havent bought a harley for just this reason. They all bring my knees into the handlebar swing zone. Or feel like sitting on a low toilet. I'm only 185.5cm tall.

Hipster? Hipsters ride on weekends. I ride everyday rain or shine. I then use my holidays to ride more, live off the bike and camp. Plus, no beard. I'm just a guy that loves to ride motorcycles with every spare moment. Safe riding dude ✌️⚡
