Yeah see mine sits at least 2" foward of the swing arm pivot. I just checked the JP catalog and they do not sell a bracket for my bike that isn't bundled with the tool box . Looks like i'll stick with what I've got until I figure out a way to fab one up.

Will this toolbox mount on an FLSTC with passenger floorboards?

I took a look at the bracket, and it looks like if I'm going to move the box, i'll need to drill new holes in the box itself...there really isn't any room for movement on the bracket itself...only on the box, and maybe just an inch or so.

I'm going to dig into it tomorrow if I have time after work tomorrow and get a better idea of whats needed to get the box moved back.

Mike:

I have (1) on the left side. Yes, you do need to get a peg extender. Easy to install
I got my toolbox and tools from J&P and the peg extender from HD. Attached to this is a pic of the '08 Softail Custom.

You wouldn't happen to have a part number or manufacturer for that, would you? I'm having no luck finding it.


Edit- Nevermind, I'm a dumba$$.

Yeah, I found it. Does it come with the mounting hardware, or did you have to order that separately?

Just gotta figure out if it'll fit with the footboards.
