    Default Passenger Floorboard Risers

    My wife is only 5 1" and when we ride 3 or 4 hundred miles she complains that her legs hurt because she can't rest them firmly on the floorboards. Even with the boards adjusted all the way up she can barely touch them. I've been looking for a riser so I could raise them another 1" or 2" without any luck. If anyone knows where I can find some or give me an alternative idea I would greatly appreciate it.

    A good set of riding boots with substantial soles and heels? May be a win-win type of consideration.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    PM a request to Tom "GunkandPudge" they had the exact same problem and he found some pretty nice risers that his wife Lynn is very happy with.

    There's a company that makes these...
    And since my computer died; I lost all of the links!!!
    Try something like "Spyder comfort"; that might get you close enough to find them...

    Just bring the beer; we'll have to sterilize the site for this endeavor...
    Besides; some of my most entertaining moments, have come from wondering how long the blood is going to run!

    floorboardside.jpgfloorboardtop.jpgcame up with these......my neighbor is a woodworker and made them out of 2x6 lumber. Then routed them out like the original floorboard so I could reinstall the rubber pad.

    We have that on our list to make a set for the RT. Ours will have more travel both directions and be in 1" increments. Don't think we are stepping on anyones' toes. (literally)

    Looks like you should make some extra sets of wood and market them - sell for $100 and save folks $150 over the value accessories style *lol*
