Welcome

Floor board extension will move the boards outward by 1.25 inches.
It worked for me.

Just kidding with the duct tape.

Other than changing out the type of air filter your pretty much stuck with what you have. You could go with a Screamin' Eagle Screamin’ Eagle ® Heavy Breather Performance Air Cleaner Kit. Not sure if that would solve your problem or not.



Floorboard extensions are definitely the ticket for your feet.
