I've heard from both my wife and my daughter that the rear boards are useless.  The positioning is no good, and the board itself is too small.

I've got a pair of stock mounts, and I'm looking for regular passenger boards for them.

These BSR foot pegs mount to the arm that holds the factory passenger footboard on (may require extended ones, not sure)  However they have 3 positions and fold right down behind the bsr footboard when not in use

I tried the Kuryakin version of these on my '06 FLHTCU and my wife absolutely hated them, they raised her foot too much creating an uncomfortable knee angle and increased pressure on her... ummmmm... butt.

yeh, I'm having the dilema with the wife riding with me on this upcoming trip. I've swithed the arms & the footboards on the 2012 seuc & still felt like she needed to be lower. so we bought a pillow at goodwil to raise her up in the seat.  she says (after a 30 min test ride) that it changes the way her legs cramp in her hips & quads. also raises her up so she doesn't feel as spread(thought that's what women did, spread those legs,BWT) because she is above my hips. we'll find out after this week long trip. tried to convince her to ride her own, oh well. we'll see. i'ld still like to lower the board more. the older uc with standard fb seem to be lower

I finally broke down and put a standard set of passenger footboards and mounts, along with the adjustable pegs on.  Now she's got room for her feet, and she can move around.

Everyone's happy.
