ok, my wife is a 5'10, long legged blonde. So far so good. But the floorboard placement using Harley floorboard brackets and floorboards don't put the floorboards where her long legs want to put her foot.
Has anyone found a way, USING THE STOCK HARLEY FLOORBOARD AND FLOORBOARD BRACKET to move the passenger floorboards forward about 2 inches?
The folks at every Harley parts counter I have been to has looked at me and scratched their heads.
Thanks for any help!

You need to get with the right parts guy. I just moved mine for my wife and made her happier. You have to replace everything from the frame out but it's splined and alows quite a bit of adjustment forward and down. I'm short legged and her foot and board hit me in the back of the calf now so know its moved ahead quite a bit.

I've been told that if I want to start over on the floorboards it can be done...but not using the floorboards, and the flame inserts, that I already have...
the first thing you need to do is show us pictures of the long legged blonde in question, so we can better judge what needs to be done....j/k, just fogured I'd say it before someone else did.

Just so happens I have a picture showing her foot postion!
I see what you are looking for. She wants the foot boards under the oil bag. Personally, I would either consider making custom mounts yourself out of flat and round stock.
