I always thought that Indian and Harley were missing a bet with the footboards [rather than pegs] being a dandy place for a nice adjustable heater to keep boots warm in wintertime. That, plus a little shielding in the toe area, could have really cut down on the wind chill problems for wintertime riders.
Of course, on my old BMW R-60/2, the offset cylinders happily kept one's feet qyuite warm in the winter. And summer....
