Kuryakyn makes a multi-position passenger footrest that is popular on baggers.

&nbsp\\;Harley makes a Passenger Crash bar that is shaped a little different for that very same problem. Part #46565-04

You have two choices.

1- Get the HD adjustable floorboard mounts, about $325.00
mounts
or
2- Kurys adjustable passenger pegs, about $150.00
pegs

I have a set of the Kury adjustable pegs from my 06 if anybody is interested

Oh yeah 3 choices....The profile bag guards.

If it's your wife bitching about it, don't worry about it. They all do that. If it's your girlfriend you are going to buying some new parts.

Passenger floorboards are too low.

Hey gents thanks... any part numbers on the harley adjustables?&nbsp\\;Also I don't think the profiles will work. Am I wrong? Can you attach the double (ultra style) bars to them?

Try&nbsp\\;putting the passenger floor boards in the highest hole on the frame.&nbsp\\;They are probably in the middle hole from the factory.&nbsp\\;If still no good try Harley's Reduced Reach Passenger Footboard Mounting Kit Part #50789-99A for $124.95 list price.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Zannottis will be cheaper.&nbsp\\; I put them on Dad's 07 Ultra because Mom had the same problem.&nbsp\\; Worked for her since she isn't very tall.
