adjustable passenger foorboards?
anyone have them? If so which ones are you using?
My wife, has a ton of back problems and was told by her docs that lower passenger floor boards would help her back and allow her to ride longer than the short time we are able to ride now... any help would be great!
Ride safe!

on my 05 road glide the stock passenger floorboards can be installed in a few different locations. not a big difference in height but it may be enough to help her out. and it dosent cost you any money. less than 5 min. with an allen wrench to put them in the lowest position. it is worth a try. if it dosent help spend some money

I have Kuryakin adjustable pegs, that go on in addition to the stock floorboards for the passenger. It gives the passenger three different positions--the floorboard, the pegs in the "up" position, and the pegs in the "forward" position. Plus, they fold back out of the way when necessary.

In the forward position, can the passenger really rest their legs out forward kind of like highway pegs when the rider is on his highway pegs?

If you are just wanting to lower the footboards, I use "Baron Passenger Floorboard Comfort Mounts" which are shown on the Kuryakyn website. My wife has hip problems and even with the stock boards adjusted all the way down, she is still not comfortable. These lowering blocks allow me to drop the boards another inch and a half or so, but you do need to saw off the bottom half inch of the factory floorboard mount (the slotted part where the bottom mounting bolt goes) so it doesn't hit the exhaust (at least on my 2011 model year). Wife is happy, especially when I raise her up a little more with an extra pad on her pillion seat.

thanks for the info... I will look into those Cme2c. That is exactly what she needs! She has a spinal fusion and also had a minor hip injury, so that would probably be the best route for us. May I ask you, if you had to eliminate the bottom screw hole then are you only using one bolt in that floor board now?
Thanks all for your replys!

I'm still waiting on other parts and the bikes on the lift, so I haven't been able to see for myself...

Haven't used them yet. First 2 positions appear useless because saddlebag guards on FLHTCU make them unusable. I also wonder if passengers rest their calves on peg in forward position. Is that comfortable?
