M-8 Softail Footpeg Adapters , Floorboard and Tour-Pak Relocation Kits
Hickory Flat , Mississippi based DK Custom Products ' fast-growing parts and accessory program for Harley-Davidson applications includes many important little details designed to make the lives of dealers and customizers easier . A classic example is these durable , black powdercoat finished , CNC-machined steel footpeg adapters . Owned and operated by Kevin Pirolo and Devin Bright , Kevin says : " Harley-Davidson , in its
Footpeg adaptors floorboard relocation kit ( also for all 2018 and up Softails ) extends the rider ' s floorboard outward by 1 " and forward by 1.5 ". Made in powder- coated , precision CNC-machined billet aluminum and sold with Grade 8 hardware , the kit is designed for a more comfortable and natural sitting position , getting the feet further away from the exhaust and reducing the cramping of the knees . The repositioning means that riders can , in effect , use the entire floorboard rather than just the outside or front half . " Once you ride with them , you will be surprised how cramped you feel on bikes with the floorboards right next to the motor ," says Kevin . " These are different to typical floorboard extensions . While they do extend the floorboards out , the additional room created by moving them forward by

sometimes perplexing reasoning , changed the footpeg clevis on M-8 Softails so that NONE of the footpegs made for any other Harley-Davidson will fit the M-8 Softail . " This means that , until now , the owner of an M-8 Softail had to purchase M-8 Softail-specific pegs . On top of that , pegs that fit the rider mount won ' t fit the passenger mount ! Two different style mounts on the same bike . Grrr . " This has meant that hundreds of H-D brand pegs , and thousands of aftermarket footpeg designs , would NOT fit any M-8 Softail , until now . The patentpending DK Custom M-8 Softail footpeg adapter changes all that . You can now run whatever pegs you like - our adapters get the job done ." You can also run DK Custom chrome or black floorboards with this one adapter design . " It ' s an easy switch ," says Kevin . " Simply remove the funky factory pegs , install your favorite pegs with the adapter , and you ' re good to go - rider or passenger ." Fitment is for all 2018 and up Softails . An easy 5- minute install , they ship with all needed hardware . Also seen here , the DK Custom Products

1.5 " gives a radically improved riding experience ." Finally , and while we ' re on the subject of relocating things to improve the ergonomics of Harley ' s own design decisions , this Tour-Pak relocation kit for 2014 and up Touring and Tri-Glide models moves the Tour-Pak back by 1 ", 2 " or 3 ", making more room for the passenger . An easy , simple , modification-free bolt-on install , it makes it much easier for the passenger to climb on and off the bike , especially if there is a driver ' s backrest . " An amazingly simple solution , it works in conjunction with H-D ' s redesigned ( 2014 +) Tour-Pak mounting architecture , making it more stable and stronger with our unique Tour-Pak cross support . There is no drilling or tapping , it really is a genuinely simple piece of bolt-on ergonomic excellence ." These three product designs are available exclusively through Drag Specialties .
