If I had the measurements I am asking for, I would be able to tell. I didn't think it would be so difficult. I hope my dealer has a switchback in stock because I may have to go there and get it myself.

Default Measurements

Measurements are 6" overall length, measured from end of support mount to the end where the board mounts. and the width from where the support mounts to the frame outward to the hole for the footboard to mount to is 4.75-5". these are in the ball park....I didnt have time to dismantle the footboard. I will note that this rear support does not have enough bend in it where it look like it would clear your exhaust. I hope this give you an idea, if you need more info let me know.

I don't think making a rear support is a big deal.
You could use some cold roll round stock to make the bend under and back up for the Floorboard. Then just weld 2 pieces of flat metal, 0ne for the frame and one for the floorboard. just notch the flat metal so the round stock can fit into the notch and weld both sides.
this is only a idea, it's your project.

Thanks a bunch to both of you guys. I'm gonna look at my pipes and make some more measurements of my own and decide if I want to try this. Thanks again!

How about going forward with the rear support instead of going under the pipe? You would have to manufacture a piece that attaches to the holes where the rear support goes. Then extend that forward to clear the pipe

Well, I just ordered the kit. Hopefully it should be here sooner than the 7-10 business days that I was quoted. If the project is beyond my ability/budget, I figure I can probably sell it on here anyway. Thanks for your input everyone!

Did this work for you.
I'm thinking of getting the same for my 2013 FXDb Street Bob. I have the Big radius 2 into 1 as well.
Cheers
