Mini Floorboards with forward controls?

Just bought this pair of the chrome works universal mini floorboards:

http://www.jpcycles.com/product/5500000

They offer two positions - 0 degree or 15 degrees. I have an '06 1200 XL and it appears neither angle will work properly. They cycle's peg mounts are already at an angle that doesn't work with the 0 or 15 degree choices... The boards are either slanted forward or nearly upright...

Anyone had success? Do I need a different model?

Thanks!

What if you put them on the opposite sides?

The fitment specs don't list Custom Sporty so they may only work for mid controls.

I know on the pre '04 Sportsters, the part that the peg mounts into can be rotated to any angle you need, aren't the '04+ Sportsters like that? Did I misread something here?

Floor boards

Hi, Not really sure about fitment of the floorboards You posted, but I use this set up with My 06 1200C . The stirrup adds support to My heel the same way floorboards do. They are Kury pegs. Just a thought . WVleo

Thanks for all the quick replies. Zimbob, I'll have to check into the peg rotation. That would solve it. It didn't appear to me to rotate, but there is a screw securing the the peg mount, so maybe it does rotate. Anyone else know?

I was thinking about the pegs with a stirrup as an alternative. I may also just break down and buy the HD mini floorboard kit, which offers full rotation at 10 degree intervals. Pricey ($109) and they are very small boards.

Trmac - I did try to switch sides, but it didn't help. You either end up with a 30 degree forward slant or about 60 degree up/down.

Thanks again.

Didn't know if the side switch would work or not - guess not.

I put the HD mini boards on the passenger mounts to keep shoes off the muffler - so far they're doing the job. The full rotation is nice. They are pricy but you should be able to order from one of the places that give discounts.

I have used a set of the Kury mini wings which are small triangle shaped boards about the sizre of your hand.

They came made to mount on the rear footpeg stems so the indentation for the set screw was in the wrong place to use on the foward controld so I just took them apart and added another indentation with a 1/4" drill bit and they worked great.
