You've got a knack for choosing the parts I want! Looking forward to catching up with your channel. Floorboards have become a little underrated I think and these low profile ones sure look good on there to me. Thrashin nailed it. To me all the the others I've seen are either too big (for a softail) or are the "mini" type that don't do the job quite as well. Thanks for the install demo.
Thanks Andrew, I appreciate that for sure. I do love the thrashin parts, I run many on my bikes. They do a great job with adding quality parts that are better designs than most for me so far.
Keep at it and look forward to seeing what yours comes to be.
Ride safe.
I purchased those same mini floorboards from my dealer and got the same instructions. I bought them for passenger floorboards on my road glide and it was a way different set up than your RG. I thought they were old, guess they're are two different styles and my HD dealer didnt know. They still work fine but I liked the ones you put on yours.
Thanks for the comments. Yea, on the site there are two options I found out. One has the male flat mounted pin attachment and the other has the female like mine for the spring. I had to exchange them for the correct attachment, lol. I was hoping to show that. Funny on the instructions, I guess they just figure it connects the same way but I think for the price it should be the exact instructions.
Appreciate the feedback, ride safe.
I put these on my bike soon after I got it. Actually temecula Harley Davidson did it for me. So whenever I had to put the kick stand down, I was hitting my lower shin and at the end of one day was pretty badly bruised. And on the brake side, the rear brake was basically flush with the board. I thought they sucked. Temecula HD said it couldn’t be adjusted. Thrashin said had to adjust at the master cylinder. I sure as hell don’t know. Took em off and sold on FB. Still have no boards 😵💫
Thanks for the comments. Yes, the black version of the HD forward controls level the pad and are a pain. Now, if you watch my video on the heritage boards install, you can have full boards on your low rider st. I love them, so much better.
Ride safe and keep clockin those miles 👍
One unsolicited recommendation I have for your fxlrst is to swap out that forward control rear brake lever and replace it with an HD one with an independent brake pad. It will increase the ergonomic angle to a better position for controlling the input when applying the rear brake imo. I forget the part # on mine but it should be in my video comments. I feel it was Definitely one of the best things I customized on the bike besides installing an aftermarket suspension.
Thanks for the feedback and recommendation. I was going to get the chrome one and powder coat it like others but just couldn’t justify the price. I am waiting for thrashin to finish their demo softail lever and see if that is better, then may go with that. If not, totally agree on your suggestion for sure.
I really appreciate the comments and ride safe 👍
@@justkillnbugz nice. If the thrashin was around when I needed it i definitely would have gone with them for sure !
Great video thanks, I have done the job you shown on mine, but cant seem to get the brake side as I would like.... any hint?
Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. The adjustment is a bit odd due to the fact it’s on a peg mount. I eventually went to full fwd controls with heritage boards. You can see that video on my channel as well. Good luck and ride safe.
Also, where on earth can I find that nifty little clevis tool?
LOL, it is a cool tool, it's in the description but here is the link: Neiko E-Clip Remover & Installer Tool: amzn.to/40bFkrb
What’s up man, bikes lookin great! Not sure if your running into the issues of the brake arm sitting too low after putting the mini floors on BUT if you are.. Green Brothers Designs makes an adjustable brake linkage so you can lift that lever 🤘
Thanks, not too bad for now, but I am waiting on Thrashin to finish their lever to see how it turns out, may go with it, or another solution once it is released.
Where you get this clevis pin tool? I searched the internet and no luck.
Thanks for the question. The eclip tool is the first item listed in my description under tools I use regularly.
Ride safe.
What is the tool you used for removing and putting back on those goofy C clips? You do so a great job in your videos! Thx!
Thank you! Much appreciated and I am glad they are helpful. Here is the tool, it’s in the description of the fwd controls video as well.

Please forget I even asked that stupid question 🤦🏼♀️😂
hey my friend do you have links to these parts?thanks
Hi, the links are in the description 😉
Any idea about the bolt sizes which connect the clevis to the floorboard (self washer bolt) ?. I lost them before assembling ,Im living out of the US and trying to find them from our local suppliers but not sure about the sizes pf the bolts.Thanks for the install demo.
Thanks for the comments. I do not have the sizes of those bolts but you can contact Thrashin and they may be able to tell you or send you additional hardware.

What are the little mini screws called that go under the boards? I think one of mine are stripped. 🤦🏼♀️ Probably need a replacement. 😭
If I am understanding you properly, you mean the small indented screw (1 per side) that helps to stop the board from shifting? If so, that is called a set screw. You can contact Thrashin and see if they may have some spares or maybe a set to sell you that fit it. Just be sure to loc-tie them to help stop them from backing out.
If not, take one to your local hardware store to see if they can match it maybe.
did you notice a difference with more vibration being all metal on metal now ?
Hey Matt, thanks for the question. There is a little more vibration that I feel in the boards, but to be honest, it does not bother me. The stock pegs were not much less due to it only having a rubber cover, I still felt vibration on those as well, but the boards are a more direct connection for sure.
Well worth it in my opinion, but you do feel that your feet are a touch higher than the pegs because of it being a board.

Did you adjust your brake at all? Mine was about even with the floorboards and back brake was useless.
Hey Stan, thanks for the question, much appreciated. I adjusted the initial setting by tipping the floorboards until it felt right. I wanted to try it without adjusting the brake arm to see how it worked, but realized I will need to adjust the brake arm. Initially, as you stated it was very low and almost even to the board, and a bit far inside. The air cleaner change helped, but not enough. I am looking at a different more stock like brake arm to fix that issue, the chromed kit has a different arm, but it's chrome.. Unless you want to powder coat it all which did not make sense. Thrashin is currently working on a new brake arm for this bike (cause Lance has one now, lol) that I hope they release soon. I may try that one and see if it makes it more functional when they do.
Thanks again and ride safe.
@@justkillnbugz LOL, as of March 21st, 2023, Lance Jr has TWO LR ST's. HD wants him to build a 120 anniversary custom version.
@@feloniousmonk3049 Thanks for the feedback! I saw the covered bike in his premier notification, good for them. Now, hopefully they will start paying the softails some additional love with their line of upgrades. I think I just need to ride out there one day and meet with them, his mom already told me I should. She is an awesome person, works in support, may just take them up on it and film it all the way ;-)
Of course when all this rain out here stops...
Appreciate the comments as always and ride safe!
What brake lever did you go with on forwards as thrashin don’t make one for forward controls
The initial fwd control kit for LRST from Harley has a brake lever included. As indicated, you can get chrome or black. The black has a small and unfunctional brake arm so I went with full heritage controls and a Heritage brake pedal as called out in my other video.
@@justkillnbugz yeah I got the chrome one but have swapped out them parts for thrashin parts only part they don’t make yet Is the brake lever I was hoping you’d changed yours
@@shanestaff6307 Gotcha, when I talked with them at the 2LaneLife grand opening a while back, they had indicated they make design some additional items in the future. There may be hope.
@@justkillnbugz yeah the quality of there gear is top shelf hopefully 🙏
@@shanestaff6307 They do have great quality parts, a lil pricey but I have had no issues with any part I purchased and installed. Worth it in my mind.

Omg, last question 🙋🏼♀️ lol I swear. I know everyone says to check your manual for the torque amount of everything. I didn’t really torque anything…😬 because I didn’t want to risk over tightening I guess or damage I don’t know? But is just regular hand tightening sufficient for these boards would you say? 🤔
Lol. No problem. Yes, I snugged mine good, just be sure to use loc-tite on everything. Enjoy.
Great video. Where did you get that Clevis pin remover from?
Thank you, I appreciate that. I purchased it from Amazon. I include the link and part numbers in the Low Rider ST fwd controls video description if you wanna get one. Great purchase for sure!
Ride Safe
Male or female attachment is needed for the lowrider st? Thank you
Thanks for the question. If you look at the links in the description, Thrashin has the parts on the site for the mini boards insert for the 2018 and up M8 softail. You can also see in the video which one I used for the install for comparison.
Ride Safe
Do you think this could work on a low rider S if I converted the mids to forwards? Thanks!
Great question. I would look on thrashing’s site to see what options are there for the boards, two I think, then you would just have to match the fwd mount like I did for the boards. If it’s a newer model, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, but do your research on sites or call them. They are very helpful. Let me know what you find out. Ride safe.
Where do i find that cool clevis tool?
Thanks for the comments. The links are in my descriptions of my videos. It’s awesome. Enjoy!
@@justkillnbugz ill look again thanks!
@@markgarcia6759 I went back and looked. The link is in my LRST forward controls description. Neiko e-clip remover and installer tool. The link will take you right there.
@@justkillnbugz that was good of you. Thanks so much
great vid😘
how is the riding experience with the floorboards in case of vibrations?
i like 2 put on these boards on my st.
greetings from munich 🍺🥨🇩🇪
@achim9145 Thanks for the comments and question! Hello back at you from Southern California!
In reference to your question, yes, you will feel additional vibration with any direct mounted accessories by nature. However, it does not bother me at all since I enjoy having a closer connection to the "feels" of my bikes. I have
@THRASHIN products on 3 of my 4 bikes and would put them on my rocket if ever the designs came about.
The biggest benefit for me on the LRST was putting fwd controls and these boards, I am a lil over 5' 11", and on my RGST was putting the adjustable boards, bars, gauge relo and various foot controls. Well worth it in my opinion, but as always, will be a individual preference per rider.
Hope that helps, thanks again and ride safe!
@@justkillnbugz thx a lot 4 your quick response!
i will install the floorboards and the 6.5 pullback risers ☹️
@@achim9145 LOL, don't be sad, it's a good thing! Enjoy!
@@justkillnbugz thx 4 your response 🤜🏻🤛🏻
May I ask how tall are you.. I have THRASHIN floor boards on my Lowrider s 2022 and I’ve been curious on forward controls if it would be more comfortable, I’m 5’8
Hi Johnny, thanks for the question and comments. I am 5’ 11” and a little bit. I also have a 31 inch inseam and fwd controls are much better for me. I would suggest going to a dealer and sitting on/test riding a bike with fwd controls and see how it feels. A heritage would be a good similar bike to try.
Hope that helps, ride safe.
@@justkillnbugz You can also, if your dealership has one in stock, sit on a used 2018-2021 Sport Glide, which also has the forward pegs. At 6'5", the whole reason I skipped a New Low Rider ST and bought a used Sport Glide, even if the motor still is a M8 107 CI... it's still got gobs of torque, and I cruise, not a canyon racer any more at 64 yrs old.
Is it sae or metric socket?
Thanks for the question, at the beginning of putting the mini board on, I call out that it is a 3/8 12-point socket (SAE).
Hope that helps, ride safe
Thanks for that. Which particular size socket is it🤔
@@letiziapassanisi9967 It’s a 3/8 sized 12 point socket.
Does this bike have the stock mid controls?
Thanks for the question. It does not, I did another video where I changed out the mids to fwd controls to give me more leg room. You can find that in my Low Ruder playlist or off of the main video page.
Thanks for the comments and ride safe.
@@justkillnbugz thanks I thought it looked like you had upgrade to forward controls
@@richardlucero3429 you bet, good eye 👍
