I am looking for floorboard extensions for my 2015 Freewheeler. I want my floorboards to set out further than stock. I have found ones that move forward but not out. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Have you check out DK Customs.......They are a sponsor here on Trike-Talk....

I know they have them for the Tri-Glides ..I used them on my 17 Tri..
 
I have these on my TG. As DK states on their website these are sourced from Vtwin Goodies who have been making them forever. Great product.

I've had them on all my bikes two wheel and trikes for as long as I can remember and simply cannot ride without them. If you've never had footboard extensions then you don't know how big a difference they make. Once you've had them on a bike you simply can't go without.
 

Thanks for posting up the link Jack!

Interesting thread topic, so I peeked. :)

Four spacers, some longer bolts, something to think about, extra inch out on each side might be good, easier to place boot on FB beside shifter & brake.

For 2014-up models, this is what the kit looks like-

For 2009-2013 Trike models, this is what the kit looks like-

In both instances, simple round spacers will not work...if tried, floorboard can shift with weight put on them.

Both can be seen at this LINK.

Well, to be sure I perhaps over simplified my thought. I thank you for the reply, the product looks very well thought out & finished.

Mine is a GoldWing trike with Add On "Lowboy" floorboards, a total of 4 bolts secures two floorboards pivot bases to the two 3/8" thick mounting plates, I would even need to make a "tie bar" to secure from left to right mounting under the trike to support the mounts with the floorboards moved out an inch for just the reason you identify with the words "shift the weight put on them". I don't know that it would even be worthwhile in my case, but I'll likely mock it up to try for body fit. If I like it, then I can add the "tie bar".

But again, Thank You.
 
Foot board mod

Thanks guys for all the quick answers. DK does have them and I am ordering. When I get them and have them on I will add my impression of the modification. Ride safe!!

Extensions are on. Easy to install. Rode 235 miles this past week and just that one inch makes a big difference especially in my foot position. Doing all I can do to improve my ride. Maybe next a rake kit.

Ride safe!!

Nice to know you are happy with the improvement. I know my Freewheeler is so much more comfortable with the extensions. :Dorag:
