Default Moving Passenger Pegs forward

I know this has probably been covered before but I have a question anyway. My wife has very long thighs and when she rides on the new bike her legs are pitched back a little bit causing her knees to hurt. I know I can get a tour pack to help with this but it is expensive. My question is does any know about anything that would move the peg about 1 to 2 inches forward. It is low enough just to far back for her. The bike is a 2013 Road Glide. Thanks

Unless you can find some sort of offset mount, which I have never seen (which means nothing), have you thought about going to a passenger floorboard instead of a peg?

I have found that Kuryakyn makes a 2 in offset peg adapter. I think I am going to use these and make sure the wife doesnt stand on them when she gets on the bike. They say with the added length that they will twist when excessive weight is put on them. As for my wifes thighs if I took a picture than that means I get to see them again. I will have to think about. LOL
