+1 on the HD floorboard kit. No, it won't work with the lame stock exhaust on the Fat Bob or Wide Glide. I went with the stock Street Bob exhaust, and the kit is a super easy DIY project. So much better with the floorboards!

Below is a link to a set of headers on Fleabay, you will still need the brackets for the mufflers, so try to by a full kit off classifieds or fleabay.

And complete set here, just missing one bracket as I see.

smog, If I choose to go that route now or down the line, I will refer back here so I appreciate your help.
perki, thanks for the offer I will keep that in mind.
It is so frustrating to think nobody has made a bracket that can swing around the pipes. At this point i am closer to buying the HD floorboard kit and simply fabricated whatever adapter piece necessary to make them fit around the pipe. I need to get rid of my pegs now because I hate them so much and dont have the cash at the moment to throw at new pipes.
sparkalot, its nice to hear a different review on the mini's. My main goal is to relieve the tension on my legs while riding. When I start getting up to highway speeds I either have to flex my legs to stay on the pegs, or contort my feet to wedge them in place. Both are SUPER uncomfortable and make riding miserable. With the mini's, are you able to fully relax your legs and simply just ride?

Just had a last minute thought, you could also try and find a reduced seat for the Fatbob, that would bring you 2 inches closer to the forwards and help a lot.

The handlebars can make a difference in riding comfort too as you probably know. Mine came with the bars it has and they work for me.

the pipes are basically covering the rear mounting location and would require the bracket to swing under the pipe more than usual.

Do whatever you need to do to mount the FLD footboard kit. Either space the right side 'board out to clear your exhaust or score a stock header & heat shield for cheap, used.
Trust me, it will be worth every penny. Hands down, the best thing I've done to my Super Glide.
