Default Floorboards a little forward?

Hey all,

Are there any mods that can push the floorboards on my Fatboy a little forward? I see there is one to move them out a bit, but I would love to have them a little more forward.

Thanks
John

There are options to do whatever you want. I recommend the HARLEY GOODIES extensions first, and if taht does not do it, then get either the Ness brackets that move you forward, Bubbas Brakes setup, or the extended floorboard pans from Harley. they will all fit your needs.

I have been reading about Bubbas setup just now in some forums, but can't find the website. Any ideas?

Thanks mate,

I am in Australia though, so not the best option. I think I found the site but it does not seem to work.

Moved my Half Moons forward ~1 1/4" by mounting them of center with galv bolts, loctite, and using a piece of metal and double sided tape to make them level. Much better fit for me at 6'1". And, cheap

btw - Rarely scrape now because the half moons are shorter and now forward compared to stock. The stock ones would scrape often in the back part of the floorboards.

HD has a kit that moves them forward about an inch. It is a whole replacement pan for the boards. The mounting points are basically just shifted back. Runs about $70. I had them on my Road King along with theSoos kit to move them outward and it was cozy.....

Thats what I put on my bike. I like them. Sit on your bike and keep moving around till you like where your feet are. Then mark them and see where you want to have the center of the board and then get the boards or brackets that put your feet in the comfort zone.
