Default HELP!!!! Wife's feet are going to sleep!!

My wife's feet are going to sleep on long trips. She says that it only takes about 10 minutes and they are numb. She is only 4'10" and has the kury passanger pegs. She cannot reach the floorboards. She had the exact setup on the 07 and this never happened. Can anyone HELP with any suggestions. We have tries New boots and New Pegs. Nothing helps

How about putting the floorboards back on and bolt some kind of platform to them to build them up to fit her.

She's probably getting her circulation cut off from the edge of the seat on her legs.

The back of her legs are probably resting on top of the saddlebag guards causing lack of circulation.

HD makes a set of comfort saddlebag guards that are shaped different that will allow her to get her legs down lower.

Just a thought, it might work. She may be able to reach the floorboards with the shorter guards installed.

Weld on an extenstion of whatever you need, spray paint gloss black. She also might have a pinched nerve in her lower back, her posture could have changed too. Try a Chriopractor as. Everybody can use a tune up now and again.

Kuryakyn has many options.

I have used the Adjustable Passenger pegs on my Softtail and now on the Ultra.

Don't Harley make something that will let you adjust the height of the rear boards/pegs? You can also remove the front bag guards, that will clean up the look some too.

Get the 2011 accessories catalog. You will find what she needs there. Or just call your local shop and if they are worth half a flip they will tell you what the passenger adjustable pegs cost. Hope they give a HOG discount as they ere pretty pricey!!!! 4' 10", no wonder she is uncomfortable.... Ya might consider a sidecar!!!! JK...

So, you have these and they still aren't helpful?
