I've had passenger boards on my Fatboy with BSS, but it's an 09... the mounting bracket is different. That would be an expensive fix, but it would fix it... buy the newer brackets. Otherwise you're going to have to fix up some sort of spacer concoction.

Not sure if you can make out the bracket, but mine came with a serious black bracket that would hook around the pivot bolt and bolt in the same hole as your passenger peg hole.

I'm pretty sure I saw a recent thread on here that mentioned that Heritage Passenger foot boards would fit. I did a search but couldn't find the thread. I don't want to put out false info but it might be something to look into.
i actually called vance and hines....they were just rude...acted like i was bothering them and was no help at all

i'll look into the heritage passenger floorboard brackets....there might be something to that, thanks for the advice, i'll search also and see what i can find

2004 fatboy with Vance&Hines longshots HD mini-floor boards like bike peddles but bigger. I had aftermarket floorboards that had a whamo bracket. My wife was always burning her shoes on the stock exhaust. The new
setup the pass floorboards is above the pipe works great! I bought several stock mounting bolts and it looks good works great.I will post some pics in my profile Tuesday.

I bought some floor boards from J/P cycle and just screwed them on to the stud that the passenger foot peg was on, they fit great. I do however have a problem, every once in awhile those floorboards spin the stud and I have to spin them clockwise to a tighter position.

in this pic you can see with the stock passenger floorboard bracket, it clearly sits right on the vance and hines big shots pipe



On the solution I used, I have the same pipes, you only use the rear most hole on the next to last picture. This gives you plenty of room above the pipe and out.The floorboards goes straight out and folds up when not in use measures 4x4.
