Short Passenger
I have the chrome saddlebag guards on my Road Glide, but when my wife rides on the bike, the guards dig into her legs. She's only 4' 10", so her legs are pretty short. I looked at replacing the saddlebag guards with the Comfort Profile versions, but not sure I like the way they'll look on the bike. Is there a way to move her footpegs up to maybe relieve some of the pressure she's feeling? Any other suggestions?

You should have 3 holes for the passenger floorboards. From the factory, the floorboards are in the middle hole...so you can move it up one hole...
however, I am not sure how much will help.

The catalogue says,
Reduced Reach Passenger Footboard Mounting Kit
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.
50789-99B
Fits '93-later Touring models (except Trike). Does not fit with saddlebag guard bags.
MSRP US $124.95
Kuryakyn also has adjustable footpegs (won't work with Reinhardt TDs, but will with HD's TDs): http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/159...Passenger-Pegs
Kuryakyn also has adjustable mounts for floorboards: http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/181...ger-Peg-Mounts
Good luck
