Hi Clayton, are they worth the money? to be honest probably not, ($1100 here in Oz but probably cheaper in the US), but after my wife had a ride on the back of a friends Boulevard a while back with foot boards I had to promise any new bike would have them, she loves them. I think they cost so much because they are adjustable to 4 positions but really it's more of a gimmick than useful I think. They have a range of about 2.5 inches from full forward to full back, but at full forward they are too close to the back off my legs when I put my feet down so we only use them pushed full back. A friend was looking at putting them on his Cali but in the full back position they are level with the join between muffler and pipe and with hard cases and guard rails this puts them well under the guard rail so you'll loose about 1/3 of them, that's why I have the soft panniers on the Eldorado. They only fold up in the full forward position which isn't a problem in itself and they have a cover plate that covers most of the mechanism when folded up but the cover plates foul the mufflers when folded down and I haven't found a way round it yet so I have left them off. Even with the cover plate I think they look ugly folded up even worse without it, so I leave them down all the time. But after all that a happy wife is a happy life so hopefully that helps mate.
