I had the stock passenger floorboards with Kuryakyn extended brackets and their adjustable pegs, but after the right side falling off for the 2nd time, I'm done with them!
The 1st time there wasn't even a passenger and the bolt sheared off. Drilled it out and installed with a grade 8 again. Same thing happened (year apart or so), except not as lucky this time with the assembly just sliding down the highway... instead it was ran over from traffic behind me. Adjustable arm, peg, and stock floorboard demolished.
So I'm looking for something that has adjustability and is built to last and safer!
If all else fails I will just put a right side stock floorboard back on for now, but would really like the adjustability for her on the long trips.
I bought my '03 in 2011. I put the Kurys on that year, and the left one never worked correctly, and the right one made my stock grade 8 shear off, and I lost my floorboard. I did extensive searches then, and found at least 10 other posters, that this happened to.
On the pre '09s, there is only one bolt holding the floorboards, and the extra weight amplifies the vibration, leading to shearing. Everybody gives you a blank stare when you try to explain this, and doesn't believe me when I tell them to buy the Rivcos. I have recommended them many times on here, and very few buy them.
They are awesome. Well built, billet aluminium, triple chrome plated, rotate 360°. Made in USA.The last thread I recommended them on, the OP didn't buy them, because you can't adjust them on the fly. My wife usually keeps them in the lowest position because she has long legs. On a long ride I might change position at a gas stop.
Mine have been on for about 30k, still mounted solidly to the base, which absorbs the vibration, preventing shearing. Get them. You will love them.

This video is out of date. They have a nicer knurled ****, than the ugly pins in the video.

I watched that video before posting and the pins are what made me wonder how durable or rugged the Rivco's were.
I picked up a set of Streetglide pegs, so at least she has something for now.
I'm just thinking out loud here, but you would think the left board would be the weaker one since it gets used more getting on and off, but I've only heard it's the right side that the bolt shears off!?
I put the Rivco's with the pin on my "10RK right after I bought the bike. A small pin hole spot of chrome is missing but that is the only problen to date with them. My girl likes to ride with the boards back and up like riding on a chopper and they are out of my way completly . Highly recommended !

Good deal! That's sweet if mine rides the same and boards out of my way!
I run a pair of Kuryakyn Transformer II passenger board and the OL digs them. One of my first mods and about 2 1/2 years on them with no issues. They are wide, with a forward pivoting arm that allows for alternate foot placement. I can't seem to find them on line now, they might be out of production. Pretty spendy at about $250 IIRC. You can see them in my sig pic folded into the up position.

Thanks again!
I don't think getting on and off has anything to do with it. I mostly ride solo, and mine sheared off after only a couple of months, so my wife hardly used the Kurys. My pipes are on the right side, so maybe the right vibrates more.

My Kuryakyn's adjustable passenger pegs model number is 7926.
