lowering passenger floor boards to comfy level - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

rathr-b-cruisin · 04-25-2007, 07:20 AM

While out riding my wife saw a harley that had the passenger floor boards about as low as the drivers. Well, now we have to find something to bring hers down low too. This bikes floor boards were so low it looked like she didnt have her feet on anything but there were floor boards there. Now i need something for my c50. Do they make passenger floor board lowering kits for the c50?

The OEM Boards move the foot position down and forward.
There is also a cheap home hardware fix for the relocation of the foot pegs.

I will find the link and post here.

This was a $3 solution from our own U.B.;

Remove both rear foot pegs and switch, left on to right and vice versa.
They will now hit the side covers.
Go to Home Depot for replacement stainless steel hardware, metric bolts 1" longer than stock, plus spacers or washers, enough bring out the pegs an inch.

4 bolts and 4 spacers= passenger comfort.

Last summer I did the left to right/right to left switch that Blackie outlined. I had a hard time finding the exact size metric bolt - my area Home Depot and Lowes did not carry it. I wound-up getting them at small local hardware store (yest they still exist here and there).

I any event the switch lowers and pushes forward the passanger pegs and my pillion passanger tells me that it makes a difference.

If finding the right bolt is a problem, having a good working relationship with your service manager and/or mechanic may be your solution.
