Looking for some advice and experience with a little bit of opinion tossed in for good measure. I'm trying to decide between going with the Kuryakyn full-size floor boards with heel toe shifter, or with the mini-boards with heel toe. I'll list my concerns and hopefully some of you can back them (or disprove them):
* heel/toe shifter: I would like to be able to up-shift without drooping my 11 1/2 boot down low and scraping it on tight corners. I think that the heel toe setup would solve that problem UNLESS my boot would not fit comfortably between the shifter ends.
* Full-size floorboards: http://www.wingstuff.com/pgroup_detail/2624
I'd love the extra room to move around on, BUT are they positioned too far aft so that I wouldn't be able to comfortably use their full length? The other concern is the width. Are they so wide that they become an issue in moderately high leaning turns?
* Mini-floorboards: http://www.wingstuff.com/pgroup_det.../232_goldwing_Footpeg_Floorboards/des/?page=2
Do they provide enough support, and can I still use a heel toe shifter with them installed?
I like the look of the mini's a bit more, but am not sure they would be large enough to make a difference.
Any thoughts?
