Well stated response there, George.
And, while I fully understand the "comfort and quiet" thing there (personally, I can't stand obnoxiously loud pipes myself, as I think that that issue touches upon that whole "profilin'" or "hey, look at me" sorta crap that is definitely for "the young" and/or the inconsiderate "I don't give a crap about anyone else but me" older types...but I digress and THAT is a whole other issue), however I still have never found floor boards anymore comfortable than foot pegs, IF those pegs are positioned in a good location on the bike. And, I say this after 45 continual years of motorcycle ownership, and after some very long rides in the saddle myself over the years.
(...and so in closing, I apologize for any sidetracking of your thread which I've caused with my initial "old guy" remark and my follow-up response...carry on, kind sir!)
