This is in response to several P.M.'s and requests for 'more details and photos on this mod'. And for those who are tired of 'yet another floorboard thread'
I promise this will the last thread I start on this subject.

This was my first attempt in my quest for long leg comfort (four years ago). This set-up was simply Kuryakyn's passenger boards, (Part #7906).
I left the mid control peg on for an alternative foot position. This was very comfortable, however I kept wishing it was one piece between the forward mount point and the mid mount point.



I had seen Kuryakyn's Road King driver boards (part #7905), and feeling that they would fill that area from forwards to mid,
however the list price of $300 made me reluctant to buy, knowing I would probably have to cannibalize to the point as to make it hard to resale if I wasn't successful.
I went on a campaign to search e-Bay once a week, hoping for a deal. Well a few months ago I found a set that were takeoffs and got them for $75.00, Had to go for it.



I contemplated several mounting scenarios, but in the end, sometimes simple is best.
For the front I just needed to tap the board so as to allow the extended Iso peg mount bolt to fit thru.



After removing the 7905's mounting bolts, next were the 4 smaller bolts used to hold the rubber pads in place.



Then removing rubber pads, revealing that the 7905, like the smaller 7906, is a one piece aluminum block, very solid.



Then using the original mounting hole as guides, drill press thru the edge.



Then beveled for the bolt head.



After reinstalling rubber pads, inserted bolt, which will be tightened into Kuryakyns 2" adjustable peg extenders (part #8838)



Lucked out on the rear as the board is already tapped, just had to fab a plate, drill a hole, and bend 45º. This was to be tightened into Kuryakyns 4"
adjustable peg extenders. (part #8839).



Then simply tighten things up..



And there ya are...........



As a final note I redid the rear mount, There were 2 things about it that bothered me.
First with this set-up the boards were too rigid, no play or upswing break away. Even tho in my case the crash bars will scrap long before the boards do.

Second , with the 4" adjustable extension, it raised the back of the boards just slightly and felt like my feet were sloping down a touch. I could have
raised the front, but liked it where it was..
I got another set of the 2" extensions, and put a rubber cap on them, letting the boards just rest on top of the extensions. This brought the rear down,
still very solid but now allows for a breakaway. I'm very pleased.......

 

Thanks a lot and kudos to you for taking the time to make this perfect write-up for us, Ronn!

 

Thanks for the write up Ronn, its great. And thanks for the link FXDRider.

 

Great write-up and pics! I like what you have done. It's hard to beat ingenuity, patience and good work.

 

Nice work and great looking, and probably very comfortable result!

Great writeup Ronn. Very interesting UpGrade.

looking above, from the early boards........................
...........the RonnBoards look way more comfortable.

combination midpegs/forwardControl.

have you had a chance to road test much yet??
..............Houston to the Heart of the Country??

Yea Mud, they worked out great.
And I promise, We'll hook up in the 'Heart of the Country' this year.
Been wanting to make that run for a long time.
Just found out today that business might take me to the new 'Austin City Limits' set.
If that happens I'll take the scooter, and then head back to Houston via 'The Heart Land'.
You might have to feed me..

 

Great work. I really like that look.

 

Those are beautiful! I would love to do that on my Wide Glide! I'm gonna have to start searching for some touring boards. I think that would solve my issue of wanting to have mid-mount pegs to compliment my forward pegs. Plenty of extra places to rest my tired old dogs.

Excellent work!

 

This is a great piece of work! I am jumping on to this just so I will have it as a reference in the future when and if I decide to do this project.
