I recently bought a set of mini footboards for the Sporty.  On going to install them I realised they wouldn't fit because my bike has the annoying offset clevis mount for the pegs.  I can't really understand why they've changed the peg mounts.  This new system seems to be on the newer 48, 72 and also Customs as well.  Anyway, after reading a few posts of similar stories it was time to get the grinder out and shave off around 6mm of the extended mount at the front.  Doing this doesn't affect the strength of the peg mount as the rear one is still shorter.  Just annoying having to do this mod if you want to change out your pegs on a late model Sporty.  I've provided pictures below in case anyone else needs some more info on this mod.

Those mini footboards are a handy bit of kit for longer rides.

Interesting Kingchops. Do they impact the ground clearance much or your use of the gear lever/brake?

The boards look good. Hope there is more comfort for you. Good explanation with the pics.

Goodo, just for anyone reading along there is another option. I changed the pegs out on the Rocker for the same reason as you, numb feet on longer rides. To still have the tiny bit of ground clearance that the Rocker comes with i used switchblade pegs.

As per request, see below, the level I've set my foot boards at.  Even though I've got them at two different angles, I find I can rest my foot on the brake foot board and easily just push forward to get to the brake, rather than having to lift my foot.


Gear side:

They look good. I’m tempted to try a set on mine ... my foot pegs are nearly worn away. 

Kingchops can you please give me the part number and what was the price of your Footboards can’t seem to find them on australia HD shops I need them to fit a 2001 lowrider thanks

Thanks I’ll check them out they look like they would be comfortable will give the harley heaven boys a call
