Default I need more leg room!!!

Now that I have the idea of how much leg room I have on my '07 FatBoy (which isn't much for my 6'5" frame) what are my options? I really want to keep the floorboards and DO NOT want highway pegs. Just want to move everything forward about 3-4 inches, without taking a cutting torch to it. What's your thoughts?

Without using an engine guard and highway pegs with offsets, you are pretty well limited in your options. Have you checked on seats that might move you back in the bike some? Sorry, not much help.

Go to www.bubbasbrakes.com , they have a forward mounting kit for floorboards. it will move them forward at least 2 inches. Great quaility products.

I have the quick detach sideplates for my sissy bar and rack, much better that the MOCO stuff.

ah ha! another tall man. i stand 6' 6". im used to squeezing into tight places cause it seems everything is built for "short" people! LOL! i have been mulling over the same question....but i think i'll go with a highway/crash bar with footpegs. i realize that city driving will be the same, but once i hit the open road....it will be, lay back and cruise time. let me know what you decide on and if your happy with it or not.
check out what this dude did with his for more leg room
later tall dude.
ride safe!
