Default Passenger footboard options for an Ultra

Wife would like me to find a solution for the passenger footboards on our 08 Ultra. She's short, and finds the stock footboards aren't comfortable at all for her since she has to "toe" her boots to make contact with them.

What's everybody using to raise/adjust the passenger footboards for your rider? Seems to me that there were some adjustable aftermarket solutions, but I'm only finding pegs like the Kuryakyn 7926, and she wants the entire footboard to be available for comfort. Looking for something that may adjust upwards another inch or two at least.

I bought my GF the floor board riser mounts from harley. I forgot how much but she loves them and she never complains shes soar now. Flat footed makes a big difference

found it! 125 is kinda steep but you can't put a price on comfort, besides i got them for 20% off at my dealers weekend sale. ChicagoHD sells them for 20% off all the time.

Have you moved them up to the highest stock position?

always a good idea to try but if he's looking for one to two inches it won't be enough.

There are also adjustable ones but I didn't care for the look of em. Besides once you adjust them to the right position your never going to move em again so why no buy fixed ones.

Yeah, it's all the way up right now. Guess I should have married a taller woman

Thanks for the link, Bradley. Like to see if I can find something in chrome if possible, but these look like a good backup plan.

I hear you on the chrome, I wasn't too happy taking my stock chrome mounts off to install black ones but after doing it, it seems to blend better.... black mounts blend into the black frame in which it bolts too unlike the stock chrome ones. to each their own haha. I'll look for the adjustable ones right now they come in chrome

Yep, just found those too. $350 is too salty for me for this part. I'd just do the Reach ones you previously mentioned if I can't find a good aftermarket part. Thanks for your help!

Anybody else using a different solution?
