Default 2up comfort leg position

Hello all, This is my first post so please bear with me.
I am trying to make the wife happy on the back of my 2010 FatBob. She is good for about 15-30min then has to get off. Back rest and sundowner seat has allowed her little more seat time before she taps. Her main complaint is her leg position. The pegs are too far back and that makes a too severe knee bend and her knees and legs start to hurt. She is a leggy girl and needs her space. Is there a way or product that changes the rear peg position? I have considered rear mini boards.

Let her put them on your thighs when she needs a stretch or rest. Floorboards might help some.

Same issue, I have done everything that I could think of to make it more comfortable, but the leg position is the main issue. I put wider ISO Wings on the back, but they need to be forward and lower.

Watching with interest!

I believe HD sells adjustable passenger peg supports so you can move them to get a more comfortable position. My buddy has an ultra classic and his lady complains on that even. Some people just don't enjoy riding passenger regardless of the comfort features you add I guess, or they have to tough it out. Other option is get her a bike to ride with you.

Put a set of mid mount pegs on and let her stretch her legs out to them.

As an EX passenger, if her knees are bent too much it will never be comfortable. Try lowered boards and or a more padded seat (to raise her up some more).

THAT is the best way to get her comfy and 'off your back'.

Good suggestions. I have the sundowner seat for 2up and that has a really tall seat for the passenger.
