What u think: the board to peg conversation kit and then a pre owned normal one from FXBS give me more “leg space” then the boards? A 2.5 inch extension for the boards I can get for 350.

Thats coming along quite nicely. Are you gonna get the peg stand that lets you park the bike without a kickstand, and do the front end too?
2nd question for anyone here, Can anyone find the thread that was posted I think here of the huge big wheel fat boy wheels. Same scalopped lakerster style but they were i think 23inch diameter.

I appreciate the advice the other day. Thanks for mentioning the options for lowering the bike. With 2 other items I am scheduling to have done the air shocks put me out of my price range without being castrated in the middle of the night. Easy decision.
I ended up going with the Kodlin Lowering kit which took it down 1 1/2". With the height I had on my 2013 Fatboy Lo compared to the new Fatboy S it was 2.35" higher. I am a really tall guy measuring 5' 7" high. Waist up is really tall. However someone took my legs. With the 1 1/2" lowering kit it brings me to 3/4" higher than the Fatboy Lo which is fine.
I am going to post 2 pictures but because of the lowering I ordered the Board to Peg Kit from Harley. I had already installed an extension kit from (I believe) DKCustoms to get the right floor board further from my S&S Superstreet exhaust. So I will mount the new Peg frames on top of the extensions. I have had a Sportster and a Wide Glide in the past and liked the pegs over the floor boards so that won't be a problem. The kit is due in the end of this week so I'll post a pictures once it is installed.
From the pictures you can tell there is definitely a difference in it being lowered.
Thanks again for taking the time to help. The next two upgrades will be exciting.
