Trying to adjust floorboard angle...
I've got a 2005 Road King and I noticed the front bolt of the floorboards goes through a bracket that has either a top or bottom hole to secure to. By default it's in the lower position and I was hoping to adjust it to the top position in order to have more of an angle to the floorboards.
However once I got the bolt loose, and adjusted the floorboard to where the bolt would go through the top hole, the bracket for the floorboard would come in contact with the brace that is around the bottom of the rear brake fluid box. This made it impossible to get the bolt through.
Why would they make a top hole that wouldn't allow clearance? Is this for some kind of aftermarket attachment or the kit that moves the boards forward or something?
Just seems odd they'd have two holes for the bolt for adjustment but then make it so the bracket bumps into something else...

I've got mine on the bottom hole and never tried to raise them so I cant say for sure if this will work, but you may be able to use floor board spacers to set them out about an inch to clear the bracket.

Might be an option. Have been considering going the route of moving them forward as well and I've seen some kits for that. Might help...
Anyways, wasnt sure if anyone else has had this issue too.
Thanks.
