Default Short legged wife

I know this has been discussed before, but I have a specific question. My wife can reach her floorboards which are in the uppermost position, but it is a stretch and she would like them higher. The two best options seem to be the reduced reach mounting kit from HD or the Adjustable Footpeg Mounts from Kuryakyn used in conjunction with the stock floor boards. The problem with option two is that the boards are still too low. Has anyone used both? Will the adjustable footpeg mounts bolt to the angled bracket on the reduced reach mounting kit from HD?

Get Rivco pegs. Way better quality, rotate 360°. Way higher high position.

The Kuryakyn pegs won't work with the HD extended board mounts because the mount is shaped different and has a rib the stock mount doesn't.
