I have a 2010 Ultra classic with a quick disconnect for the tour pack. We usually ride with the tour pack for longer rides and I have the stock ultra classic seat on. Her passenger floor boards are mounted in the lowest hole on the frame. With the stock seat she is fine. However, I also own a street glide seat that I like to use around town with a sissy bar. We usually just ride this setup for local town trips. However, today I tried to make an hour and a half trip with the street glide seat. This caused my wife problems with her hips and cut off circulation to her feet causing them to go numb. I think if there was some kind of highway peg that would allow her to extend her legs, then she would be able to ride more comfortable with this set up. The stock seat sits up higher for my wife and does not cut of circulation.

Any advice you guys have would be great. Thanks.

 

The Kuryakyn adjustable passenger pegs? http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/159...Passenger-Pegs

 

Jeff,

I have seen these. However, from the photos it appears it only raises up higher. This would put my wife's hips at a sharper angle. i would like something that would go lower/wider to allow her to stretch out. Correct me if I am wrong on my interpretation of the photos. Thanks.

 

No, you are correct, they don't go lower than factory, but just the ability to change angle from stock may help her.

 

It's hard to say what will work. I'll need to see a picture of her long legs to be sure.

 

I have spent a few bucks on various passenger foot options and found the Adjustable Passenger Pegs P/N 50768-07 to be the most adjustable.

They rotate at the end of the first knuckle off the frame 180 degrees.

I also saw some someone make a bar that attached under the seat behind the engine that really extended the passenger foot position but that was a hand made job.

 

of said 'long legs'!

 

My wife had the same problem on my 03 Ultra. I put the Kuryakyn's on. If she doesn't mind resting her calf on it, that is the only position that let's her stretch out. On pre 09 Ultra's the added weight amplifies the vibration and can cause the factory bolt to shear off. That is what happened to my floorboards a month after I bought the Kuryakyn's.

I was told that the 09 frame has 2 bolts holding the floorboards on and should prevent this. I plan on buying the Rivco adjustable pegs as they can be quickly adjusted, although you have to stop.

Skumm,
Maybe i think youre right??

 

That was the first thing that came to mind, I would not want to mis-advise. We may also want to look into the seat, bu again will need pics.
