Floorboard questions , Driver & Passenger

[Wewaman]

Hey everyone I am considering getting some floorbards and I have a some questions.
Your thoughts and advice are welcome, please give me some. 

First off I am waiting for a response from a member on a Rattlebars heel-toe shifter, with that being said can I use floorboards and will they work without extra stuff, IE; brackets, lowering kit, etc ?

 Also what are your thoughts on a Heel - Toe shifter,  I have only used one about 10 years ago on my Buddies Ultra Classic. 

Thanks for your replys,

One hesitation I had about a Valkyrie was the pegs. I got mine used with rattlebars heel-toe shifter already on it.
I finally got a set of Cobra floorboards and they fit perfectly with the Rattlebars shifter.
I don't have any other mods to the boards or the shifter.

I just recently joined the floorboard set this year.  I installed cobras and a heal toe shifter of some brand, not Rattlebars.  I like the set up.

The only change I made was to turn the adjuster nut, on the rear brake master cylinder, to lower the rear brake pedal down some.

I like heel-toe shifters, have Kuryakyn on my 1800 Wing, Rattlebars on '97 valk, and just installed a heel toe on the '99 purchased 5 months ago. Personally, I'm not comfortable with floorboards on our type bikes and prefer the pegs. That said, I do like boards on the forward foot position style of bike.

thanks for the responses.

Ken I just saw your post about the add on heel - toe shifter.  I like that set up and I already have the pegs like yours,   Sooo... I ordered one today and will follow your pic's and instructions.  Thanks for posting the results and the time you put into it 

Thanks,

I loved the floorboards and heel/toe on my street glide.( when I had it)

Plain and simple!  You want quality, buy Cobra floorboards,(Billet aluminum) you want cheap made crap, buy MC Enterprises Floorboards.(Die cast Aluminum) I owned both, in face, on the MC E's the holes were drilled off, and one board had a slant to the outside. Had to shim the board. MC's look cute, but minimal quality.

Also  Kuryakyn  makes some nice looking products and I own many of them, when I buy their products, I choose wisely.  They deal allot in die cast also, I bought a set of highway pegs from them, I chose to modify them, and on the band saw it was like cutting "lead" which if you have ever messed with it is soft. So I assumed if I would have put allot of pressure on them, I may have had an issue. I realize they are not made to do so on them, but sometime on a motorcycle things happen very fast. So safety is important as looks.

Bought a set of kuryakyn wings for the passenger, that should be enough and will also match my highway pegs.
I will wait and see how I like the heel - toe shifter with the kuryakyn pegs I have on already. 
If I decide to try the boards then I will heed your advice and look for quality over price, thanks for your input.
