Default Higher Floorboards on Fatboy Lo

Has anyone found any aftermarket floorboards that sit higher then stock? Last year I scraped the **** out of them and now that I am riding a bit lower with the Shot guns it is just a fireworks display

I am use to it but if there are any after markets that might sit a bit higher I like to hear about it.

Last year at Sturgis there was a company that sold these kits that actually electronically moved the floorboards and controls electronically from the stock position to a foot up forward control position. It was a push button setup and you could actually place the controls in any position in the movement range you wanted. You could do this on the fly as you were riding. Very Cool setup. I googled the setup, but can not find it now to give you the link. But such a thing is out there. Just keep looking.

Installing half moons and moving them forward reduces scraping a lot.

Moving them up will just change what you scrape. If you are low enough to scrape the boards it means you are low enough to scrape, pipes, jiffystand, frame etc.... The boards grinding is what I call "my early warning" that I am about to do something stupid.
