    Thanks for the video Mike. Used as a reference for installing the offset pegs as I finally got off the floor boards, just wanted to make sure I got the pieces in the right place. Putting these on my 12 TriGlide as there is plenty of heat! Thanks!

      Hey Pam, glad i could be of help. I wondered what the heat would be like on a TriGlide since you've got those rear fenders kind of disrupting the air flow (my guess creates a pocket). Interested to hear your experience once you've had them on for a few. Take care and thanks for watching.

    Mike, great video. I meant to do mine tonight, but since I just rode home, I figured I would get after it when the bike cools off. Question...is the bolt the only with a nut, or is it that way for both?

      Whats up Mad-H! Thanks for watching. Its been a bit since i threw these on. I dont recall a nut on these but if there was it wasnt for both. Hope you get the same results I did with mine. I want to do something to my 07 but gotta do a bit of searching because they mount those totally different.

    Great video, Mike! Question: After a year or so now, do you think the extenders helped with the heat felt on the right side? What about the mid air deflector? Recently installed fork fangs on my heritage twin cam (to reduce buffeting) and they have been successful, though, I am experiencing a lot of felt heat on the right side and am looking for some ideas on how to alleviate this. Thanks!

      These definitely helped especially in combo with the mid frame deflectors. I had heard that adding fangs or the other fork air deflectors would make the heat a little worse so avoided those. I did add lowers and when the vents are closed I do feel the heat a lot more too. Hope that help's. Bottom line for the cost of the extenders and mid frame, it's worth it.

    I am also "Duck-footed" and have been contemplating the spacers also. Do you have an evaluation for this now that it's been a year?

    • @Mikeityourself
      @Mikeityourself  10 місяців тому +1

      Hi Serafin, they have been great. I think because they are so simple it makes it less likely they have issues. My feet feel comfortable and now having an older bagger, I wish they made them for it. So well worth the money. Thanks for watching.

    Thank you for sharing, did you find out if the floor boards scrape when leaning into turns?

    • @Mikeityourself
      @Mikeityourself  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for watching. Have yet to scrape them at all. My guardian bell hangs from one and ive hit that a few times but never the boards. Im sure if your used to hitting the corners tight you will but I think for the average rider, no concerns. Hope that helps.

    I have an aftermarket set of floorboards,will these fit the passenger,too ?

    • @Mikeityourself
      @Mikeityourself  6 місяців тому

      I dont believe you can add these to passenger boards. They are shaped and pegged for the rider boards.
