My Heritage has the pass floor boards and was wondering what you guys did if in my same situation. The wife is 5'2 and is always sliding forward coming to a stop. I asked her today if she is flat-footed on the boards and she said just barely, but is still agravated be pushing herself back up on the bike seat at a . I thought the about changing out the pillion for her to a smaller one, maybe. Looking at the adjustable board mounts too, but crap they are expensive. The pillion would be cheaper. It came with the Harley aftermarket studded pillion. I thought obout going back to the stock if they are smaller, they look it on the pictures anways.

Can ya point me in the right direction?

 

Or add a rider backrest for you to keep her back further.

The adjustable board mounts are really the only option other than a smaller P-pad. One note here, if she can see over you now, a thinner P Pad will have her staring at the back of your head/helmet.

 

Apply some velcro to the pillion and have her ride commando.

 

A smaller pillion is not going to be very comfortable for her to sit on. I'd go with the adjustable board mounts.

 

I think your best option is adjustable board mounts. The expense would be well worth the price regarding her comfort. Swapping out seats to lower her down could only cause new problems, like the seat has less padding and less comfy. As allready mentioned, if she cant see over your head, she wont be happy looking at the back of your skid lid all the time. Ajustable board mounts should get her feet planted firmly, and having the adjustability should put her legs in the sweet spot she is looking for.

 

My wife is 5' even. Couldn't find any adjustable passenger boards I cared for so I modified the mounts for her. Just cut off the attachment point, used some angle Iron and tig welded it all back together.

 

Uncle Chester, I only need half that height but that's a dam good idea.

 

Yup...thanks Uncle Chester!!

 

lmfao

 

I'm betting you have the touring pillion that slopes at the front.
My Wife liked the comfort but she also had a tendency to slide forward when stopping.
We kinda addressed the issue by added a driver's backrest.

I ended up going back to the stop pillion with a gel insert.
I now have a signature series seat and it sets like the stock pillion.

I have the touring pillion in my signature pic.
