Default Adapter for foot controls
Does anybody where or if I can get an adapter to move these controls closer to the rider? I believe they use a softail style bolt pattern.

Default same problem
I have the same trouble as you, as my forwards are 2"-3" to far up (aftermarket on a Heritage with 7" adjustable floorboards) and I think its an extention bracket on them(p.o. put these on). Still a little too far up for long-distance comfort with the short boards adjusted all the way rearward, and I thought maybe a narrower bracket would help, and maybe for you too? Did that pm solve anything? Mine need to come back a bit for sure.

I actually changed my seat and went with some adjustable floorboards. I am not sure I like the floorboards though. The guy who PM'ed me asked for some specs or if I had a CAD drawing. I don't, so decided to figure it out on my own.

Usually people want to extend them. Never saw anyone want them closer. Wonder if you could mount a set of adapters designed to extend them either backwards or upside down to bring them closer?
