Touring - Passenger Boards

Hi guys,
I asked this once before, but thought I'd ask again in case someone had seen a development.
For those of you riding two-up, does your passenger have issues with the rear dresser bars digging in their calf ?
She's not happy, so I'm not happy !

Regards, Pete

No problems with the Rivco passenger boards with the relocation arms. She did complain the time we road her brothers road king though.

Sorry I just noticed this was for the R3T.

My passenger just moved her feet forward on the floorboard. Problem solved! She's a smart one! Seriously, they bothered her a little at first. But it was just an issue of getting used to where she put her feet on the floor boards.

I guess the Chosen One was used to being spoilt on the VN2000 where she could actually use the full floorboard. Didn't expect the bigger Rocket Touring to be more cramped. Looks like the rear bars will come off till someone releases a relocation kit.

Sorry, but it's the Rocket Touring that I have the problem with, not the leather saddlebag Tourer. I don't think the Tourer has the rear dresser bars, does it ?
