Default Heritage rear floorboard install

Got the left side on. Can anyone tell me if this looks right? Seems kind of far away from the bike. Thx

It's really hard to see there, but there's a "line" cut down the middle of the mount's round part on the end. The floorboard IIRC is designed to have the tightening bolt basically on the center of that. If that's where yours is sitting, it should be good.

...or did I? The right side seems like it isn't parallel to the frame. Looks tilted up in front. Is this how it's suppose to be? I don't see how it can be adjusted.

I wonder why they are like that....the left side doesn't look that way. Kind of bums me out.

on our 07 Heritage, the rear set up Totally SUCKED big time.....

After I got the wife the oversized Pillion seat,, Touring Sissy Pad that mounted to the Quck Detachable Sissy bar and new Floorboards she could NOW ride all day VS's the 1/2 hr of the stock set up..\

Now... Som of you are thinking,, She's a Fat ***.. NOT... she 5'3" and 120 lbs, but,, she had a bad tailbone injury as a teenager....and was needing some major Relief from the Poor stock set up..


I feel that $1K of $$ I spent on Mods making her comfortable back there was WELL worth every penny I spent on them...
