I have really been giving my floorboards a good try to see if I can get used to them. I started riding with pegs and previous to my America, my only experience with florboards was on a Heritage Softtail. With that bike the balance wasn't quite as good for me as my America, and floorboards gave me a further fear of not being able to get my feet under me to control the bike. I am past that fear with my bike, because the floor boards are far enough forward. My problem now is how to catch that darned kickstand comfortably. I have really small feet, and sometimes the floorboard is just in the way. I try to kick it up a little because folded up it is easier to catch the kickstand with my toe, but I still bang my ankle trying to get to it. Anyone with floorboards find a way around this? I'm kind of liking my floorboards, but have been seriously considering going back to pegs. There's been a couple times when stuggling with my kickstand made me feel like I did with the Harley, like there is just too much bulk there.
I can't think of any way of extending the reach for the kickstand without doing some frankenstein sort of invention. Any options out there to give me ideas?
