Protecting Side Covers from Rider's Boots
On my 2025 Street Glide the passenger foot pegs are incredibly close to the side covers. Does anyone know of a peg or a floorboard that offers some kind of an inside protector that would prevent passengers from accidentally scraping their boots up against the side covers?
I have seen guards that were able to be mounted to driver's floorboards but nothing for a passenger.
Thank you in advance.

An interim solution might be to use PPF paint protection film. It would protect the paint. It is designed to be removed without damaging the paint.
You can buy it in sheets and cut it to size. I believe some companies make templated panels for some boxes.

I bought the HD Passenger Floorboard Mounts (and the Thrashin Bagger Passenger Floorboards) and they put the passenger mounts out WAY further than I expected. I never had a bike with passenger floorboards so I guess I just wasn’t used to it. I ran my own leg over a couple times leaving a red light and decided that I’m over it. I NEVER carry a passenger anyway. Mine were to just match my rider floorboards. They made it harder for me to push the bike around my garage too. Im sure that I could’ve gotten used to them if I gave them a chance.
My whole setup is for sale, if anyone is interested. HD mounts, Thrashin passenger bagger floorboards. New condition - one ride

Make sure your passenger owns boots that do not have a zipper or buckle, on the inside ( side of foot that sits against the bike). Why any respectable company who makes motorcycle boots ,would do this is beyond me. But it is thing.
