Default Reduced Reach Passenger Floorboard Accessory

I purchased and installed the HD Reduced Reach Floorboard Accessory and the wife is much happier. The saddlebag guard no longer bites into her leg, and the heat on the right side is much more bearable. With my HD Wildfire 20% discount they cost $104 out the door.

And for those defending the MOCO, implying there is "no" issue...read the MOCO's description, carefully:

Kit raises the height of your passenger footboards by approximately 2-1/4" for increased passenger comfort. Especially desirable on '97-later Touring models due to the frame and saddlebag guard change. Includes mounting hardware.

Only issue is they don't come with the pins, springs & ***** needed for the install. Good for you Ultra guys but bad for us SG guys.......If you but the regular mounting brackets, they come with that stuff, go figure...

You are right, they do not come with the detent ball, spring, nor the pins. They use the parts from the original support-foot board setup.

Great mod, especially for the smaller woman in your life.
