A 5'11" blonde should solve the problem and you don't even have to break out a wrench.

I agree with moving the floorboard up.&nbsp\\; My daughter is 4'9" and no problems reaching anything with the boards up.

My wife had the same problem. I put a piece of pipe insulation on the guard. A piece 1 inch thick by 3/4" in I.D. Hope this helps. It doesnt look pretty but works.

The tour pack and floor boards are both adjustable. My wife is just 5’ tall and had the same complaint, I moved the tour pack forward and raised the pass floor boards and it fits prefect for her now and it didn’t cost me a dime.

If it's your wife bitching about it, don't worry about it. They all do that. If it's your girlfriend you are going to buying some new parts.

Are the Kuryakyns solid enough for 100 lb. kids to use as a primary footrest assuming they use the floorboards to actually get on the bike?

The adjustables from Harley are nice...that's what I'm probably going with on My SG. Just make sure you buy the at a discount from Zanottis or M & M. Good luck on whatever you decide to purchase! Mike
