ok, so I have this great new bike, HD Ultra classic and its got like the most comfortable couch-like seat for the passenger with nice backrest and beautiful soft seat.

However, she is short. So the saddlebag guards that wrap around the saddlebags dig into the back of her calf too much since the floorboards aren't quite high enough. I have passenger highway pegs but that could get old for her and I have to rotate them up for her every time she gets on.

I am pretty sure that they are already in the highest position on the frame as there are no more holes above the mount plate. Is there a mod out there that will raise the boards a little more?

Thanks for the assist

I swear you know better. Just ask

And I'm sure if you search around (EBay or other) you can find it for less than retail.

Dude, I don't think that there is anything there that will do what I need.

I need to lift the boards just about an inch or so

You mean this won't do what you want? It may be worth a call to see if it will also go higher not just lower...

Ok... hold the phone...

I'm runnin a bit slow without my PC favs...being at work and all.

Here's what you need. No doubt

HEIGHT: This kit provides two additional floorboard positions approximately 1.25" to 2" higher than the highest setting the stock floorboards currently provides.


TILTING: Places the floorboards on an ergonomic plane relieving stress in the legs and calves. This tilted position provides passengers the ability to push into the boards when cornering providing them a more secure, "locked-in" feeling during aggressive riding conditions.


SPACING: Provides two additional spacing widths, which add additional comfort for the passenger by spacing the floorboards wider apart. This allows them to let their lower body relax to a more natural position taking pressure off the inner thighs, knees and lower back.

Ebay price $79 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Baron-Passenger-Floorboard-Comfort-Kit-4-Harley-Touring-/130397853468?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e5c51571c)
