I believe they attached to the back of the half moon footboards with the dome facing out from the bike.

I thought they were for the earlier rectangle foot boards.

Crap! I have the half moon boards.

I guess I’ll be selling them off.

I've not given up yet! Has anyone put on longer floorboard mounting bolts to get the floorboards out away from the frame?

I had longer front mounts made to move the boards out so they dont point in at the front.

I’m thinking along those lines, Hellonewman. The bolts on the left side are longer. I see 45 Restorations carries a “variety pack” of repop bolts. Maybe I can mix and match.

Just an extra .05-1” would give me the room for the extensions on that side.

I am pretty sure those foot board extension will also fit half moon boards. Clamp on to the back of the board.

Do you have the rubber pads on the rocker clutch and brake pedal? I took all of them off, gave me a lot more room for my size 11 boots. Took the rubber pad off the Shovel brake pedal for the same reason. The metal castings have nibs on them, a little slippery in the rain but fine the rest of the time.
