I got the HD brackets that raise her boards about 1.5" and that solved the problem.

I used a set of HD adjustable highway pegs. They flip up for mamma and back so they're out of the way when solo.

I don't know if it will help, and I'm not sure you will want to since I don't know the size of the people riding, but anyway, it may be possible to move the tour pak up to the forward setting, as it may be in the rear position. This would move her forwar an inch and may solve the problem, again I'm not sure this is the solution for you, but it might be.

That will be another thing to look into. Not sure how the dealer set up the tour pack.

They make a new gaurd that is called contour, it slants down to avoid contact to leg

+1 on the Sreet Glide under bar. Much leaner look too.

I told my ol'lady to get used to them, or if the bike got turned over and broke a fiberglass bag, its a $1000 to replace them.
She hushed up.

I dont have the part number, but Harley makes gaurds that are shaped better for this concern. you can look on line if you dont have catolog.
