Mostly if I need to walk the bike into a parking spot, and yes two up, not all the time, but no wish to bolt and unbolt just to ride.
What do you have to bolt and unbolt? I'm not sure I'm following. I know you've said you're short, I get it. I'm not as short but I do have 30" inseam so I understand a portion. Even with the pass boards folded up you hit your legs on them? Is that the concern?
Yes, not bad, but I was wondering/asking because it wouldn't help a lot for me to get the narrow primary dover, only to keep hitting the same floorboard. By bolting and unbolting, I meant the floor board itself, from the frame.
I did not have this issue on a street glide I tested, but their rear pegs are a lot smaller. I can feel the floorboard at the back of my left calf when I stand up. Not necessarily when stopping at a light, but when trying to back the bike in somewhere. To get out of my garage, I have to back the bike about 20 ft, in order to get to a point where I can swing it around to head out. Cannot back in because its slightly uphill. Getting out is pretty easy, its just controlling the downhill run, and its on loose, DG, decomposed granite, which is common material used around here for roads and driveways. Even asphalt would cost prob 15K and concrete nearly double. So the DG can be tricky if you don't have both feet firmly planted. My bike is sitting on DG in the sig pic.
Changed Engine oil, Primary and Trans. Went over it good getting ready for TN/NC
And once again not one drop more or less in the primary than was put in it.
Checked the sump about 1 1/2 OZ
Speaking of derby covers. I have been wondering about swapping my 2014 primary cover for the newer narrow one. But one thing I have noticed, is the rear floor boards get in my way as much or more than the primary. Are the mount brackets for the rear floorboards, on the narrow primary models (2015 and up I think) narrower also?
Hope thats not too confusing?
I can tell you that I absolutely HATE having the rear floorboards folded down on my 16, I'm always hitting my calves on them....almost like being hobbled with the amount of leg movement provided while backing the bike out of or into places.

This why I'm glad the ole lady didn't ask me to put passenger foot boards on this bike. Have a couple more inches with pegs.
Picked it up on Saturday in VA. Spent 5 hours with simichrome and butter wax. Did FM slips ons and SE hi flow A/C. Got my tune form Jamie at FM yesterday and it's going to stay this way for at least 30 days!
Technically nothing. But I sold Baby Blu (dyna) and I ordered a bunch of new parts. Hahahaha... Change is coming for Big Red. We all like Flaming Red heads. She's gunna be one smoking red. Lol....might be the vodka talking.
