Default Reduced Reach Passenger Floorboard

I have to do something for the wifey so her 4' 10" self can reach her floorboards better.

Found my Barons Customs comfort kit I had for my Ultra and it fits. BUT, you cannot take off the side cover without removing the floorboards. That would be a pain if I needed to change shock pressure or get to the can-bus connector.

Has anyone tried the Harley 50789-99B Reduced Reach Passenger Floorboard Mounts on a Tri-Glide?

According to the parts site they will NOT work on a TG but for the life of me, I can't figure out why. I have a pair of original floorboard mounts for a '10 Ultra and they are exactly like the ones on my TG. No difference whatsoever.

Custom Chrome makes a set, 605721 that looks just like the Harley version. Their specs say they will work on a '14 TG, but I can't seem to find them in stock anywhere.

Ideas?

She doesn't like the Rivco adjustable combo or the Kuryakyn adjustable pegs. Tried both on our UC and she hated both.

Open to all suggestions!

TIA

I installed a set of the H-D 50789-99B on my '14 Tri-Glide. They work great for me 5'2" wife.

Thanks, I didn't see any reason why they wouldn't work.

My 4'11" wife wouldn't ride with me until I changed them out. She loves them.

The Harley 50789-99B WILL work on the Tri Glide. I put them on my 2011 three years ago.
