Default Too Many Mods?

So, in an effort to avoid any real work, I have been doing a lot of shopping online for parts for my M50. I bought a set of floorboards from OneidaSuzuki in order to make the ride a little more comfortable.
Now here is the issue, I realized a couple of days late that I had purchased a forward control kit from John's Kits and have no idea how well they will work together.
Has anyone else put both on there bikes?

it may work if your ordered floorboards made just for the m50, on the other hand you may need to get the FC kit for the c50 to work with the floorboards. one good thing is johnskits come fast in the mail so you wil know shortly either way. sorry i can't be more help .

you will be fine with the floorboards and the F/C kit just may not be able to put certain engine guards on in the future because the controls will get in the way of some guards.there is someone on here that has that setup and he told me this info.when you get these installed post some pics and let us know how you like this setup cause i'm looking to do the same thing.By the way are these the boards yo got Oneida Suzuki Inc :: Cruisers :: Boulevard M50 :: DRIVER FLOORBOARDS M50 because there the one's im looking at getting plus the heel and toe shifter to go with them.

I put the forward controls on and absolutely love the new riding position. More relaxed and comfortable. The only thing to watch for is adjusting the brake so the pedal is up higher.

Hey mrvanh with the floorboards and F/C is it comfortable enough to skip installing highway pegs do you think.Especially for the really long rides.

I like the new riding position and I don't think highway pegs are needed anymore for me at least. I'm 6'0" with a 30-32 inseam.
