Default Offset Clevis?

So what is up with Harley using a Offset Clevis on the foot pegs? I found you can purchase these for $74 Drag Specialties Offset Clevis Footpeg Conversion Kit For Harley Sportster C/V/X 2011-2017. Is anyone making a mini floor board that will fit a Offset Clevis ?

I was looking at the Kuryakyn ISO Wing Mini Floorboard. RevZilla notes the following: FITMENT NOTES & EXCEPTIONS
This is a universal fit part; it may or may not fit without modification.

Male mount pegs fit most late-model Harley female peg mounts
May not fit models with offset clevis, including all Sportster Seventy-Two (XL1200V), Sportster Forty Eight (XL1200V), and some Sportster Customs (XL1200C)

Yeah I was already thinking about that.

Here is a guide for anyone wanting to know how:

That is there to help you. It helps people from accidentally voiding their warranty. Did you know 32% of people void their HD warranty by installing aftermarket foot pegs? The more you know. Dont forget to only use HD brand oil and grip glue.

But I'm glad you found the guide. It serves absolutely no purpose other than forcing the unsure to only buy Harley brand foot pegs. Actually kind of disgusting.

Had those ugly things on my SuperLow and soon dumped them for the racey straight ones from an XR1200.
