I'm attempting to find a longer front floorboard replacement for my Cobra's that are shoot after 82,000 miles.  Don't need to get under the front shifter as I have Rattlebar's heel toe.  I thought Cobra had longer board (12 inch) but am told no.  Anyone using long boards?  Thanks.

The reason they are short is the valve covers and space available.  The valk cobra driver boards are actually smaller passenger boards made to fit the front mounts.

The largest bolt-up driver boards I know of for valk are the MC Enterprises boards, but they always/often come in a kit with their own heel/toe shifter, and are expensive. (each board is about 9-1/2" long and 4" wide.)  It may be that you can get the boards w/o the shifter, esp used.

The biggest boards I know of for valk are Darryl's FX6 Customs.  Looks like the boards are in front of the pegs.  And you might have to remove the engine guards, which I would not do.  Really, more of a highway peg/board, than control boards.

Cobra does make longer floor boards for the Valkyrie.
They are the Cobra "Swept Back" units and they are far better looking than what you have now.

I have a set of the XF6 floor boards: they don't work with the shifter or brake pedal, however they are comfortable (for me) and they serve as engine gaurds too (OEM gaurds are removed).

XF6 pruducts are all custom made "one offs" of the highest quality.
