Raise floor boards
My Son has a new Slim and he loves it. Only problem is scraping the floor boards a lot. Is there a kit available that would raise them just a little like 1/2", even 1/4" would help. If not we will need to grind down the edge of them.

Looking cool is subjective. Throwing off the trail/rake and completely changing the way they bike handles from stock, that could be a negative or a positive.
Your son needs to change his riding style or buy a motorcycle that fits the way he rides. Anything less and it's an accident waiting to happen.

He loves the boards. If we could just pull them in 1/4" that would help. I can see now that grinding them down would put his foot to close to the ground

Honestly on doubt a 1/4" would be enough. I got to the point where I was scraping the bottom of the back mount. I have V&H exhaust and the mount wouldn't make it 1/4" before it hit the pipes. Moving them forward may help a little. Like other said you have to adjust your riding style, the key for me was cornering late and keeping the bike upright for as long as possible.
