Lightbulb Need advice/help

OK, need some creative advice. I have a 2009 Fatboy. I bought the Vance & Hines True Dual exhaust, cause I really like the look of true duals. Started installing them today, pretty much done, and started putting everything I had to take off back on. That's when I discovered the problem.

I had put passenger floorboards on a few months ago. The right side floorboard, has 2 mount points, it used the stock exhaust bracket as a mounting point. It has a little peg that sat in a hole, and then you screwed the floorboard bracket in to the old peg hole. Well, with the stock bracket gone, there is not a place for that little peg, and I can't simply mount to the peg hole, as it makes the floorboard tilt forward due to interference from the frame.

I think all I need, is to maybe take a 1/2 inch spacer behind the mounting bolt, and let the rest of the bracket rest against the frame for support.

Thought, ideas?

Thanks in advance.

My thought is that you got it figgered out with your spacer plan.

Share Pics when done. Love me some true duals as well!

I haven't, but that's a good idea.

I sure hope it will work. I really don't want to go back to passenger pegs. The little lady won't be to happy about that.

I will definitely post some pics when done. I have the pipes on, just need to finish tightening some things up. They look real good.
