Any one have any info on some aftermarket spacers that move the passenger floorboards further forward away from the saddlebags for a C50T. I have a set of Cobra floorboards that are better than the pegs, but my wife still complains about the position being so close to the bags that it puts your leg at an awkward riding angle. It seems that someone would have an offset bracket that would move them forward and slightly down for a more comfortable position.

Any suggestions?

Hi figtide, bought some genuine Suzuki floorboards (C50T) for my wife cost $650 landed in NZ Gezzzzzz they were expensive but the worst part is they made the wifes ride like yours cramped...

So I took mime to an engineer and had them lowered 1"1/2 inches and moved forward almost the same in other words we took up all avalible space, then sent them away to be chromed additional cost $230 so now they are real expensive total $880 for just two floorboards..Another option is to make your pipes two into one then you can really drop the boards, but it would make the bike look YUKKK take care...

Yes Suzuki need to revise some of these bits and pieces as most pillions are not small

Hi Figtide.  I have a 2005 C50 and my Neighbor has a 2003 VL800... Basically the same Model but mine is a Boulevard.  Floorboards fit exactly the same.  Don't Know why You paid so much 'cuz his were $ 265.00.  He experienced the Same Problem and He went to a Machinist and had a Spacer Made that Cost Him $ 75.00 for the Pair.  All they are is an Aluminum Block with Holes for the Bolts and Longer Bolts.  If You send Me an e-mail I will take a photo of them and send it to You.  We all know how expensive the 'Goodies' for our Bikes Cost us.  Glad to Help if I can.
