09 Street Glide here, for you 09 guys, do ya prefer the 3/4 or 1" soos spacer kit? The 3/4 is out of stock, is that because they are more comfortable? Is the 1" kit mostly for tall riders? Thoughts or opinions please! I know they are good, just trying to decide which one is right for me. 5'9" tall here with corbin dual touring seat.

Thanks

 

Subscribed like to know also.

 

Man nobody know what soos kit they bought? Sure see lots of replies on how good they are.

 

The 3/4" kit is less likely to make the floorboards scrape on the ground when leaning into turns. That would be why they are out of stock. I don't have a bagger so I can't really say.

 

I have used both and I like the 1" myself. The kit moves the boards out not up so I can see where heigth has anything to do with it.

 

I had the 1" on my FLHT (sold the bike...need to get some for my new/old bike) and I am 6'1". Never scraped the floorboards...never had a reason to scrape the boards.

 

I would prefer an 1 1/2" one, but he doesn't make it.

I'm 6' and have the 1" one and it works great.......I have never scraped the boards either.

 

Were talking about 1/4 inch on a floorboard here folks. So unless you are a very aggressive floorboard scraper, it seems to make the most sense to get the 1 in.

 

On a similar thread, someone posted a pic with them on. Does it make it harder to find the shifter since your foot is out farther? Considering you can't adjust the shifter out...........

Thanks

 

I had the 3/4" spacers on my 06 EG Standard.
Always wondered if the 1" might be better.
I figured with the larger 6 Gallon tank , the wider ones would be more comfy.
I only dragged one board once in 13,000 miles with the 06.
Quite happy with the wider set on the 09.
I posted the pictures on the other thread to show what they look like from the top-down to show how big a difference they make.
