I have a '10 Ultra Classic and I checked to see how the passenger floorboards adjust and I just do not see how they do. My kids need the floorboards higher as their legs just dangle and the wife needs them where they are position. Is there a quick adjustable passenger floorboard available
On the '10 models the passenger bracket has 2 bolts holding it on. The bottom bolt is fitted into a slot in the bracket. This bolt is loosened and the top bolt is removed. The bracket is then able to be repositioned up or down. When the bracket is in position, re-install the top bolt and retighten the bottom bolt.

83-08's are adjustable. 2 positons on the front brackets and 2 positions on the rear brackets (drivers).
The 2009 and up are not adjustable in any way.
Good luck.

adjusting the rider footboard on an 11 FLHRC
Hey guys, newbie here. Sorry for reviving an old post, but this seems like the only thread I can find relevant to my question.
The HD web site shows a video on the fit shop where they adjust the rider footboard forward and angled. The stock bracket doesn't look adjustable from first glance - and I can't seem to find a different part in the HD catalogs. Any ideas?

answered my own question
Looks like there's an "Extended Reach Rider Footboard" part: http://accessories.harley-davidson.c...footboard-pans
not exactly "adjustable" but probably an improvement for me.

As posted earlier, there is no adjustment to the position of the footboard via the brackets for '09 and later models because they are fixed. There is the forward adjustment of 1" that you would get from the offset pan kit that you have listed. Fixed footboards, another great and innovative idea from the MoCo.

I'm going to keep looking/asking around for options. Maybe swap the seat out for a tall boy... but I think I'd rather move the footboard & controls.

I have an 02 RKC and there are 2 holes for each bracket. I didn't know this until I bought and installed the floorboard extensions. Which, BTW, I would highly recommend. On my floorboards, I placed the rear bolt in the lower hole and bolt on the front in the upper hole. That way my feet are sitting an angle (up) rather than just flat. Very comfortable now.
