Default RE: Next Question

Yeah, I think there's 3 positions. Should be in the middle from the factory. Take out the huge allen bolt, that's all that holds them on. I believe there's a plug in the top hole. Pop it out, mount them. I think it will raise them about 1/2". May or may not be enough for your wife. FWIW: I mounted the Kuryakyn adjustable passenger pegs for my girlfriend. She loves them. They have 4 positions, but only the front two are usable. She didn't have a problem with her legs hitting the crash bars, but her legs/knees got stiff or cramped. Now she can move them around and it has helped a lot.

Easy solution - trade in the wife for one that complains less! (hope my wife doesn't come on this forum and see that!)
Oh but that might wind up costing be more in the long run!

I raised the passenger floorboards up and took my wife to dinner and a ride and that seems to have helped a whole lot. If that hadn't been mentioned here I may not have realized that for months. Thank you gentlemen, I think I will try the pipe insulation idea too.
