Default Can You Adjust Angle of Front Left Footboard

Can You Adjust Angle of Front Left Footboard? The front bracket mount has an adjustable slot that looks like you can; but I cannot find a way to loosen the rear bracket so I can tilt the front of the floorboard up a bit to match right side. Can anyone help? I've looked in service manual and tried loosening a bunch of bolts, no luck.

I think it's just up a notch or down. Not on angle. It's only two bolts. A nut is on the other side of the front bolt and the rear mount bolt screws right into the tapped frame.
Go experiment and let us know.

Yes there are two holes so to speak on the front. Put the front bolt in the top slot.

On a 2006 the left rear bracket has 2 bolts accessible from underneath. I believe it is a 1/2" hex head bolt. The bolt goes thru one side of the jiffy stand flange.

I loosened the front bolt and the footboard would tilt if I could get the back bracket loose
I loosened one back bolt. If I loosen everything will it tilt?

My god, what a mess - especially when it is 108 degrees outside at 6PM. You cannot adjust the tilt; i.e., have front higher than than the back. You could if the side stand was not there, and you can adjust the tilt on the right side of the bike. Because of the way the sidestand mounts you can only raise or lower the foot board a couple of holes, but not tilt it.
