Moweaqua, IL United States | MY wife and daughter are very short. I have been looking for Vision floorboard relocators and I'm tired of the limitations. I am a hobbist, and am thinking of building a set of adjustable floorboard mounts....
Would this be an item that maybe any of you guys would be interested in? I am going to fab one set up this winter, but may want to make some jigs if these might be something of interest...

Central Illinois | If they can also be made adjustable to increase reach I might be interested. My wife has long legs. |

| the one's that victory sells are stackable. One set will bring the boards up 1.5" so two sets would be 3". You can find them on ebay for not a bad price |

Moweaqua, IL United States | my thought is trying to move the boards formard maybe a few inches then have them adjustable from 2" rise maybe up to 4-6" depends on clearance. I have started the prototype. Machining is taking me longer than I had originally thought... Will post pictures and updates soon
The issue with the Vic ones is i would need 3 sets, and at the cost of $199 ($169 ON SALE) each OUCH! |

Phenix City AL. | Do a search for passenger highway pegs, with my mount you can have a peg or aftermarket floor board in just about any position. |

| My wife is also short and with one set of Victory risers she was still too short to reach them comfortably.
I took them and stacked them and took it to a local machine shop to get one piece made from the two.
Only problem with a double stack is the saddle bag lid hits when opened, floor board must be in down
position to not hit. Risers move the boards out about an inch from stock position. I can provide some
pictures if you want. Please use my e-mail: diode1n4001@yahoo.com if you want pictures. |

| moving them forward is going to cause you to hit them when you leave stop signs and more |

Moweaqua, IL United States | yeah I already hit my legs on them, I should have been a little more specific, I plan on moving them out about 3/4 of an inch, and forward just enough to be able to clear the bags. Still working on the proto. probably going to be an all winter project!

| Years ago Kuryakyn made floorboards for GWs. They were really neat. There was an "L" shaped piece around the edge that could be lifted so to act like a raised foot peg. Don't know if this could help in you mod? |

Land O Lakes, FL | Yeah Kury still makes them, called transformer boards. Wife loved them on the Wing. Maybe they could be adapted to fit the Vision? |
