I was hoping you may have experience with and can recommend some adjustable foot pegs (not floor boards) for the wife. She if vertically challenged and I seen some adjustable foot pegs that mount behind the floor boards that adjust up or down. Has anyone installed and used these? Where can I get some?
I have the Kuryakyns Adjustable Passenger Footpegs to. Here's a link. It's item #7926. I paid $199.95 for mine. I think HD may have them in their catalog too.
I just put a set of the Kuryakyn on. The weather has been bad and my wife hasn't been on the bike since, so I can't tell you how she likes them.
I had the passenger floorboards in the highest position. The Kuryakyn instructions said to put them in the middle position so I did. This puts the floorboard directly in the way of one of the screws in the derby cover. That's why I had the floorboards in the highest position. Once my wife tries them, I'm going to try raising them again to see if they work OK for her there.
+4 on the Kuryakyns .... I put them on right after I got my 2009 and the ol' gal really likes having the ability to adjust them for a change while on the road ..... I'd but them again!
I put the Kuryakyns on and used them for 2 yrs. Good, no complaint. I reworked some stuff on the bike last year and I bought a set of HD adjustable passenger pegs. I like really them. The fit is better and looks super.
As I said before I have them installed. I myself an vertically challenged and when we are riding around town requiring me to stop the bike often, the nice thing for me is the little women puts her feet on the adjustable foot peg in their highest position and folds up the floorboards. This way when I put me feet down rather than the floorboard hitting me in the calf and thus pushing my foot forward, her footpeg hits me in the back of my knee which has enough flex so as to not push my foot forward as I coming to a stop. Make a huge difference in stability.

Don't wanna hijack the thread but how do you like the Ohlins 2-2 shocks? I'm vertically challenged also but hate getting beat to death sometimes by the stock shocks....considering the 2-2a shocks
