adjustable rear floor boards

[mrider]

are there any out there made for the valk or a simular set maybe for another brand that will work?

When you find some share your findings, I need s nice set for the wife's comfort.

Seen a few advertised on eBay then with some research they either don't fit AND/OR aren't adjustable.

I think Rivco made an adjustable set, but they weren't cheap, in the $450 range if I recall. Not sure if a set can still be had.

I used a set of Kuryakyn Iso-Wings and an offset mount on mine. Works good and the wife likes em'. Lots less expensive too.

I don't know of an adjustable. I was however able to modify my set of Cobra's for my wife who is only 5' tall (er short). Below is what I did;
- The rear Cobra floor boards mount with just 1 bolt on each side.
- Each one also has a small dimple drilled into it that meets up is a small knob on the motorcycle that prevents it from spinning. (can easily see when part is in hand).
- I found that if you are able to rotate the front of each board up say 15-30 degrees this would in effect raise the board.
- So I drilled a new dimple in each floor board to set the new angle and now the wife is comfortable and happy.
- The only downside to this mod is that the rear floor boards are not parallel with the ground. They are angled up, but it isn't too bothersome.
- Lastly if you don't like the mod simply angle to boards back to the original angle and dimple and no harm or foul has occurred.

Good Luck!

Rivco made them, but I haven't seen them for a while. They were a necessity for my Interstate because of my Rivco center stand; the stand would not come all the way up with the passenger boards I had and dragged around sharp turns. The adjustable ones solved that problem.

mike terry at valkyrie bling had a set of rivco adjustable boards on his www.valkyrieblingandmore.com site for $500.00

I have the Rivcos, they are excellent. Look great and adjust over a wide range by pulling a pin.

I think Big Bike Parts made an adjustable mounting bracket for their boards too.

great thanks for the help!

I have a set of GL1800 passenger boards I got for $30 off the GL1800 Riders forum sales section.
I know I'll have to make a bracket to mount them for my 5' wife. They won't be adjustable, but you can make the bracket to suit your needs.
Will try to get around to it when it warms up some (spring) and will take pics and post here if anyone is interested.

Yes Please, very interested.
Our best friends have us convinced that my wife's issues with getting in and off the bike will be cured with floor boards and she likes the idea of not having to keep her foot still on long rides... Thanks.
