Default Extended reach passenger footboard supports

After 4 years, I figure it's time to help my height challenged wife. I found extended reach passenger footboard supports on the Harley parts site, but it says they don't fit Trikes. Unfortunately I couldn't find these on the Trike site.

Attached picture is from the Harley site.

Has anyone found passenger footboard supports that can reduce the length my wife has to extend her legs?

Just put a set of these on my 2015 TG, bolted right up and fit fine.

I had them on the 10 I used to have, bolted on with no problems.

we put the LA Choppers ones on - they didn't leave any room on the right side to remove the side cover.
Replaced them with Rivco adjustable footboard supports. Allows a huge range of changes. You can set the footboard angle too, for more comfortable foot position. You just don't want to go too far back, because of the fender. Wife loves them. She is 5'2"

I just looked at the Rivco ones online. They look good, but ouch!! $350...

Based upon the other recommendations, I'm gonna try the Harley ones. If they don't work out, they'll probably take them back.

You'll have no trouble getting the side covers off, I had my side covers off many times with the board extensions installed.

Thanks everyone for the input. I bought them (attached picture), and just installed them. They fit fine, and there is no issue with side cover clearance. Best yet , My wife loves them, and wants to know why I didn't do that earlier. I don't know why Harley info says they don't fit trikes.

My wife is 5'3" and the stock boards work ok for her but I did add the Kuryakyn passenger highway pegs. They lay flat to the rear of the floor board out of the way. They will stand up almost vertical and forward at about a 45 degree angle from the floor board. She uses them in the forward position and this gives her two options for her feet.
