Wife wants more comfortable foot position for long rides. Can anyone tell me what brand/model works / fits / looks best to bolt-on in place of factory pegs?

Oh, and if you're really bored, any pics?

Thank you!!

Rivco MADE adjustable passenger floor boards that I like. I found mine as new old stock. They raise, lower and tilt. The picture is for a Gold Wing but the Valkyries look very similar.

Yeah, and they cost a fortune.

These are the most comfortable and functional I had come across. They are [were] by Rivco.
Who knows, perhaps they could be coerced into a small production run.

gif image shows 5 positions - the 6th hits the bags. I adapted Kuryakyn boards to the mounts, replacing Rivco' choice.
I don't believe Rivco' furnished boards would interfere with the Rivco Centerstand as the Kury boards do.

I've got Big Bike Parts boards for my passenger.  They're on top of 6 inch arms with anti-rotational mounts.  I've seen shorter arms on another bike.  The adjustments are made by rotating either the boards and/or the arm.  Not as many adjustments as the Rivco previously posted though.  Bought mine used on fleabay.   The pic shows the boards, but you've got to look closely just forward of the bags.

+1 on the Rivco boards. They are pricey if you can find them, but are outstanding.

I'm happy with the Kury  5 position adjustable ones.  $152 + $22 for the spline adapters.  Seams to be better chrome than the Cobra ones and cheaper.
