Does anyone make a simple passenger riser that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I saw the Rivco one and its a beauty but more than my wife needs and more than I want to spend. Maybe a simple bolt on bracket that raises the peg about two inches. Thanks

Would floorboards work? Gold wing boards work. Cost me about $70 to refurb and install.

I made my own using a couple pcs of 1/4" thick aluminum scrap from work. Painted them dark grey. Don't look out of place.

did it raise it any and if they did how much? Also if I go that route what do I need to buy?

It raises it by the height of the boot heel versus a peg under the arch of a boot. For my wife, that is 3" or 4". If your passenger wears flats, then it is a NO-OP.

WTH is your wife 20? We did all that crap when we were younger so I'm trying to find something that actually raises the peg.

If you want to refurb start here. Easy disassembly, cleaning and painting or powder coat or chrome.

There are plenty of used or you can buy new. New do get pricey but are fresh.

Edit: just went and looked and there might be a half inch rise with the floorboards. No appreciable lift.

Yep, with a few years experience @ 20 :icon_mrgreen:. How many women wear flats ?

How much of a riser do you need ?

Those rear floorboards do look nice.

Stro did a sweet job of refinishing them. He should start an F6B floorboard service !

So they bolt right on correct. Seems cheap enough to try and if she likes it I can then clean them up and powder coat. Funny aftermarket haven't really come up with something. Thanks

Yep, they use the same bolts as the pegs. They are @ $200 new on FleaBay and can be found used a lot cheaper. Mine were virtually in new condition.

Thanks guys. If you go paint I have a bit of a heads up. If not it is no biggie. I had to refinish the left board with a bit of lack of attention.

Good tip Tim.

Hey Tailgunner, if you're going this route definitely look around. IIRC Cosborn found his used on eBay for about $80.

Just the thing I wanted to stumble on. My wife too has issues with the peg height. I'll be on the lookout for a set of used floor boards I can powder coat.

Nice looking floorboards by the way.

I've got a set. I'll quadruple check with the wife this afternoon to make sure she DOES NOT want them. I put the mini-floor boards on the back for her but kept these around in case she changed her mind. She hasn't so far. I'll hopefully update this afternoon if I will have a set for sale.

I missed this; WOW! $25 and $30 per side... :yes:
