On my old 1986 GL1200A, it came with floorboards and heel toe shifter. I liked it on that bike and after purchasing my 96 GL1500I, almost bought some to put on it but decided not to. My feet do not hurt nearly as bad when the floorboards where on the old bike. If you have large feet, you might want to stay away from them. While a person can put more of their feet on the floorboard, it is so flat it may hurt your shins and well as feet. Harley makes their bikes with floorboards and heel toe shifter much better than any Goldwing. It comes from the design of their engine.
Fatalattraction stated that if he could find the original shifter he would go back to it. From what is remembered, all you have to do is remove your floorboards and heel toe shifter and put regular pegs back on your bike. You might have to get shorter bolts to replace the ones holding your floorboards on now. At least the kind that was on mine just had a fork in it that slipped over the original shifter. Like the rest of the replies state, no one is down the middle on this.
