passenger floorboard height

my wife has rather short legs and says that it is somewhat of a strain on her to straddle me and put her feet on the floorboards, my question is will raising them up help relieve this problem?

My wife is 5'0" and I had to move the passenger floorboards all the way to the top.

I'm also thinking about the Kury adaptors being that my wife is also a "small". The Kury's look like they also have a few degrees tilt option that might make mama a little more happy. Cause, when mama's happy, everybody's happy!

MY GF is 5'1"....I had moved the rear boards on my Standard to the top mount.....she said it was better...but would still like more.....so I put a 1X4 on the board...then had her sit on the bike....saying that was MUCH more comfortable. I ordered the "REDUCED REACH" floorboard mounts from Lakeshore HD.....$99.96....took about 20 min to swap the floorboards and install...now on the 'middle' position.

Now she's HAPPY!!!! (again)
