Forward floorboard kit   Newbie Q&A

I’m 6’1” tall and find the floorboards on my 2010 1100 classic are quite high/close. I’m trying to find a forward floorboard kit, I found a Barons BA-7241-00 kit, but it says 1999-2009 only. Is the 2010 different? If so, what kit are you guys using? 
Thanks for any info!!

Awesome!  That’s what I thought!

Thank you!!! 

 I wonder why they only list them fitting from 1999-2009?? Gotta wonder how many people read the application and say “well they don’t fit my bike” and then the manufacturer as well as the supplier have lost a sale? 

Thanks again, 

Hammer

Check the date of manufacture on the VIN sticker.

Manufacturing date is 02/2010 so technically, for parts purposes, it’s a 2009, but it’s registered as a 2010. So this Baron kit should work !  
I just got the bike home today and looked through the owners manual, the previous owner put the VIN number on the inside of the front cover with a note in big letters that says “Order parts for a 2009 model”!  So I’m hoping all will be good!

Thank you for your reply!!

Got my new (to me) scoot home today, thanks to my buddy who came with his truck and trailer and we went and got it!

 I just couldn’t wait to start tinkering with her! So my evenings work was to solo it out! I think it looks great! Another friend is gifting me a nice curved rear fender rack for it that will really finish it off!

Excited to see my vision starting to come to life already! Next project is a replacement Silverado windshield and chrome lowers (which I already have) and Monday I’m ordering the moving floorboards forward kit from Barons!!

By summer she’ll be lookin real good!

As you can tell by the photo my little garage is jammed packed with a side by side and 2 full sized bikes, my Road Star (in the background behind the side by side) is sold and will be picked up tomorrow so that will give me room to work over the winter!

But this evening I definitely earned my “confined spaces certificate”! LOL

You must be in Canada? They weren't offered in the US after 09. My tiny garage is usually full. Now all I have is my Roadglide and Vstrom in there.
