Using Solo Seat
I'm using a solo seat which is pushing me back about 2 inches, so it helps. I'm not having any problems with the controls or floorboards - I'm actually pretty comfortable with them - just need some leg stretching options.

Awesome!
So, do your Mark IV's allow an extension out from the actual floorboard? In the picture on Kuryakyn website, it looks like they are a little forward from the floorboard, so do they stick out far enough (left and right) to clear the floorboards?

I read a post somewhere where a guy said he was able to get three different positions With these. Heel on floor board and toes on pegs. Feet on pegs. Feet over pegs. I think that would be great. I saw the threes on a used Fatboy at the dealer and they were great. I am 6-3 so I know where you are coming from.

Hoping someone can give some advice on this - just sold my Dyna Fat Bob and bought a 2012 Fat Boy Lo. I love this bike, and love the position of the controls and having the floorboards. My problem is, I am 6'-4", so I like to spread my legs out sometimes when riding. I'm looking at several options, but, it seems much more confusing then I think it needs to be.
Option 1 - Kuryakyn Mark III floorboard mounts look good, but, they say I need to get rid of the stock half moon floorboards and get a traditional floorboard.
Option 2 - Either the HD Whiskers frame mount highway pegs or Kuryakyn makes a similar frame mount kit, only it seems like this sits the pegs too close to the bike and I am still stuck with my legs folded and not stretched out, only higher up.
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Also, I am not looking to go with the forward control switch yet, and also not looking to get an engine guard. Also, I am sure there are lot's of people who will say a guy 6'-4" should have gone with another bike, so, if you can keep those comments on a constructive level, or at least make them humerous, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

Perfect -
I think that's exactly what I'm looking for - they mount directly on the bike frame, right? I don't need much room, just an inch or two sideways out from the floorboard where I can my feet. I just caught a post over on the cruiser forum with an excellent picture as well, so looks like I've found what I needed - thanks everyone!
