Default kit to change angles on 09+ footboards?

I have searched and searched and come up empty. ON the 08 and older you had the 3 position adjustment on the footboards, on the 09+ frame they did away with it. Well the stock angle on the footboards, for me at least, are awful. its too flat!

Does anyone out there make a spacer kit/replacement mount/etc that would bring up the angle? (toe higher than heel)

I see a lot of people mentioning enjoying the upwards position on the 08-, I can't believe nobody has made a kit to achieve this on the 09+!

the only items i've seen are floorboard extenders, positioning the boards out further. i haven't seen any that change the angle.......others may know. i'll bet somebody makes them.

Tall Boys Cycles have some brackets that you might be able to use. Search the forum for more info.

It appears theirs only lowers & extends them, the angle stays the same......I also would buy a set of mounts that give the boards an upward angle.....

Sounds like this is what you are looking for OP.

This kit moves the boards forward 2 inches, and lowers the heel 2.5 inches so the board isn't flat. It is designed to give the feel of forward controls.

Thanks, that is what I am looking for.

Pricey but worth it if I can get more comfortable. Sick of my feet sliding forward up the boards and not feeling like my feet are planted at all.

Just watch your cornering with the boards 2 1/2 lower in the back...
