Default Fatboy Exhaust Problem

Hi All:
Thought I ride a Sporty I have a Fatboy question for a buddy. Does anyone have a solution to the passenger burned boot issue. The rear foot pegs are mounted between the mufflers and the passenger is constantly burning her boots on the top muffler. I know that some other Softtails have the pegs on top of both mufflers. Does anyone know of a fix short of changing the exhaust system? Thanks

Yeah, the rider needs to less lazy and be aware of where she is putting her foot.

But yes, you are right, the peg does mount between the exhaust and the best way to correct it, IMO, is change the exhaust.

In order to install passenger floorboards, which would alleviate the problem, he would still have to change the exhaust.

I just ordered the passenger peg mounts for the Crossbones. The right side has a bracket that moves the peg over the exhaust I believe. I don't think I will need the bracket because I am not running stock exhaust. If someone else can chime in as to wether or not that would work for your buddy and it will, let me know. For cost of shipping he can have it, as long as I don't need it. I am still waiting for the pegs to show up so I won't know for sure until they get here
