Default Passenger peg mount help?

I was wondering if anyone knows of any different mounts other than the stock mounts for passenger pegs. For a 08 Street Bob.

My wifes legs start to cramp on longer rides. About anything longer than 80 -100 miles. She is 5' 6" and thinks that her feet need to be further forward or lower or a little of both. I have forward controls so almost any foot position for her is ok with me.

Any help would be great. I just had to listen to her complain for a week after a 2 day 700 mile ride.

Harley makes adjustable passenger footpeg mount kits (part # 50763-09) for $149.95.

She has my sympathies! Can you be more specific on what she is complaining about? Better still get her to write on here for herself, so we can help her, not you!

If she has suffered discomfort for that long there is something seriously wrong and as alkay191 suggests there could be something other than footrests that is wrong.

Ya, that was a pretty good ride.

But she does get uncomfortable with about 100 mile ride. She just says her feet need to be lower or further forward, that it feels like her knees are to high. Her thighs start to get cramped.

We solved the problem by getting her a matching Street Bob. Probably a little pricier than different pegs.
