Default I need to move my passenger footrests fwd........

I installed the saddlebags on my 2016 Breakout. Now the issue is that my Wife no longer has much foot room and she now has to press her calves up against the bags making it uncomfortable.. I have the Mini Footboards with the anti rotation brackets installed.

What is available to move the boards fwd and out a couple of inches.

I am looking at a set of these, but sez they won't fit Softail. The male and female mounts look to be standard H-D so I don't see why they won't fit.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated..

Yes they are correct for the bike and no they cannot be moved back. any further back and the will interfere with the lights.

Kuryakyn makes mounts that attach to the strut bolts. Worked our well for my wife who was always struggling to reach the stock pegs comfortably.

Stupid question, can’t just loosen the nut and rotate the bracket forward?
