That’s totally new for me. Where is this conversion kit available?

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.

New front fender by „Ricks“. Happy with that. It shows the mighty wheel better.

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.
DGD CUSTOMS AUSTRALIA do the 23 inch replica but its about $3000 AUD

Here it is. Lowering is next step (after new risers). Still looking for a breakout fender. But happy now with the front.

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.
