PBYMT Front Footboard Rubber Insert for Harley Touring and Softail

In this review the PBYMT front footboard rubber insert is evaluated as a budget-friendly replacement for riders who want a quick refresh of worn rider floorboard pads. It is aimed at owners of Harley Touring, Softail and Trike models from 1986 and later who have the traditional-shaped rider footboards and need a non-slip surface that restores legroom and comfort. The single biggest reason to consider this insert is that it delivers improved grip and more space for shifting foot position with a low-cost, easy-to-install solution.

Key Features

• Fitment: Designed to be compatible with Harley '12-'16 FLD, '86-'17 FL Softail and '86-later Touring and Trike models that have traditional-shaped rider footboards, helping buyers identify likely fit before purchase.
• Comfort: The larger pad area provides more room for legs and foot movement, which can reduce fatigue on longer rides and allow for small adjustments in position.
• Material: Molded from non-slip rubber to improve traction under wet or sweaty conditions, adding a safer contact surface between boot and board.
• Installation: Simple to fit without extra accessories so most users can install a pair in about 5-10 minutes with basic care and alignment.
• Size: At 4.1 in by 11.8 in the insert matches standard rider board dimensions for the listed models, making it a direct replacement where sizes agree.

Who It's For

This product is best for Harley riders with traditional-style rider floorboards who need an affordable, functional replacement that increases legroom and restores a non-slip surface. It appeals to DIY owners who prefer a fast install without buying additional hardware.

Riders who require exact OEM styling, full factory-fit guarantees, or who have nonstandard floorboard profiles should verify the pictured dimensions carefully and consider an OEM part or a model-specific aftermarket pad if precise contour matching is critical.
