Default Need lower floor boards?

I'm pushin' 6'4" and need to have my floor boards relocated to keep my knees out of my chest...I have Hi-Way bars when I'm movin' down the highway and away from traffic but would like to be as comfortable while planted on the boards as well.

any ideas?

Have you thought about getting a different seat? HD seats are notorious for pushing you too close to the bars. If you change your seat to something like a Mustang or Corbin, you'll get more leg room on the floorboards. Just a thought to ponder.

Thanks Kahuna; but I really like the seat that came with the bike...I called my dealer here in JAX and they said that they have a floor board kit that will move the boards down and forward, I'll check it out in the A.M.

If you find something that will actually lower the floorboards and move them forward please post it for all of us. As far as I know there hasn't been any kit available that will make those changes.
