Lowering Passenger Floorboards
has anyone stumbled on a manufacturer that make a bracket that lowers passenger floorboards, i have a 2014 Street Glide Special with black FLHX boards on it , i already have them lowered to the lowest mounting hole . My wifes legs cramp up on longer rides and short of having something customer made was hoping to find something to lower another couple inches.
thanks in advance.

Here's a great option -

A little spendy, but I've heard good things. Unlike the Harley pieces that will only move the floorboard forward or up, these will move them down - and without tools I believe.
A somewhat cheaper option (which is what I did) is to use Baron relocators -
They say they are for short legs, but you can reverse them for long legs too. I gained about 1.5 inches.
I retained the peg mounts and added these -
The end result (for about $150) was a much lower and wider platform for Cheryl. She is much more comfortable. The one drawback when using the miniboards is that, due to the way they mount like a peg, once folded up they are at an angle instead of parallel to the bike.
Here they are down -

I am looking for this solution myself. I recently replaced my SGS rear pegs for floorboards and as the OP states my wife thinks they are too high and is not comfortable. I like the looks of the H-D adjustable ones but they do not go down only up fwd. I need to find a way to get the boards to the original peg height or possibly an inch lower. I like the Rivco idea but they look too low. I think my wife's legs would rest on the bags and that wouldn't be any good. I tried the ones Nevada72 has and also did not like the folded position. I do not want the boards moved farther from the bike either. I make go back to the factory pegs or find a wife with shorter legs (just KIDDING)!

Do the RIVCO's fold up in all of the 360° and all H-D floorboards will attach to them correct? If so I may have to look into these despite their hefty price tag.
