+1 My wife loves them too!
Tried the HD Adjustable Footboard Mount Kit first. Way too hard to adjust and when in the lowest most forward position they dug in to my calves when stopping.

A word of caution on the Kury. adj. pass. pegs...While installed on my '07 Ultra, I have had the right side Pass. Footboard mounting bolt fracture and shear off, twice! And this happened only while riding solo. Now I remove them for everyday riding and install them for long trips (overnighters or longer). I suppose it has something to do with the vibes. My dealer has seen others do it as well. But, they do make the wife a happy passenger.

Anyone else have this problem? I wonder if the bolt can be upgraded.

The bolts that come with them are grade 8....is there something better than that? I haven't had problems with the HD adjustable mounts, but I only put them on because the wife's legs are too short for the standard mount, so we don't adjust them now that they are in a position she likes.
