These are great! My wife of 4'11" is in heaven - there is a sigle peg that can be thrown up, will post pics of that later if I remember to take one.

Had a set on my 2003 GL1800.. They do the job.. but the chrome was not up to much .. could have been something to do with the British weather..

These are on my winter list to do.

I put these on the Valkyrie a year ago.  Required some mods to get it to fit (thanks, Warlock, for the mod design).  I modified the modification a bit, too, just to fit my own preference.  However, when the pegs were up and my rear-seater's feet were on the board, there wasn't enough room between the peg and the saddlebag for her foot.  I ended up swapping the mounting hardware from side to side (leaving the boards on their correct side, of course).  This moved them ~3 inches forward, and that made a world of difference.  She now likes them a lot.
Now, if her front-seater wasn't quite as wide as he is, she'd be VERY comfortable back there.  Fixing that isn't as easy as installing a new accessory.

Found them on ebay - they aren't Kury's, can't remember the make, just that they were for the Aspencade. Took about 2 hours, used the existing frame mounted bolt for the side plate, just reamed the threads from 1.25 to 1.5 pitch and drilled a new one for the rear mount and called it good. Wife is loving them, wit hthe right amount of spacing they are just out of the way of all other chrome weather folded up or with the peg extended. Best application of floorboards bar none!
