i'm looking for some input for moving the floorboards on my ElectraGlide Classic. i'm 5'9" and i feel cramped with the stock location. i've looked at Bubba's kit and tried e-mailing them but haven't heard back from them, and i have to wonder since the kit cost $340... i've seen the HD kit online.... much better price at $80.

for those that have moved their floorboards, what did you use?

 

I wouldn't mind moving mine out "a little", but $340 is crazy[:@]

 

I put highway pegs on the crash bar. I can put my heel on the board and toe on the peg, or stretch out with my feet on the pegs. What’s nice is being able to move around, and not be stuck in one position.

 

I agree with that...I am 6'2" and just being able to put my feet in a couple of different positions while riding makes it a lot more comfortable with a lot less fatigue. I couldn't ride very far without my pegs on my crash bar.

 

I know that this sounds like a step in the wrong direction but, in an effort to gain ground clearence for cornering I raised my boards and found them to be MUCH more comfortable. I am 5'9" also. I removed the rear shifter peg to gain more room on the left board also.

The options available to you depend on exactly what you mean by "moving" your floorboards. Do you want to move them forward or outward? If outward, check out the link below. Only costs $40. I've got them on my bike and they made a huge difference. The stock floorboards are positioned much to close in to the bike - it takes constant pressure to keep your legs in on the boards.

I did something really funky on my 05 Ultra shifter too - to get that extra floorboard space on the left side.

Flipped the rear one to the front and changed the heads - underside is extended round peg - on topside is a flat peg. Works great.

Shifting is much easier and ALWAYS perfect due to the extra momentum of a "dual shaft shifter".

Anyone else try this???
