    • @Gen_X_Rider
      @Gen_X_Rider  Рік тому +1

      The only thing I'd say I miss about the pegs is grinding the boards when I lean in hard. You lose around 2° lean angle (from 28° to about 26°) but it's a small quibble given the comfort factor. I wouldn't even consider switching back. And no, I haven't done the brake yet, but I plan on it eventually.

    Which floor board is best for low rider st 2023? Those of slim or fat boy?

    • @Gen_X_Rider
      @Gen_X_Rider  Рік тому +1

      It's personal preference honestly. The Heritage Classic/Slim models run half moon boards, whereas the Fat Boy boards are teardrop shaped. I prefer the teardrop as it seems to fit the shape of my sport glide better, and they look more aggressive. Plus the main resting surface is further forward, showing me to comfortably rest my heels and turn my feet outboard of my pedals.

      They do, but you have to move the mounting points. They're the opposite two holes of the two that your mid mounted pegs are currently at. You will have to switch to a forward shift position as well.
