After fitting my new Triumph Footboards to my '09 America, my smile didn't seem quite wide enough. Seems my toes always ended up squished into the bow of my boots. Reason being, the stock footboard angle is too flat, leaving my toes pointing too far down for comfort. Using a die grinder and carbide bit I elongated the two small locating pin holes, one in each mount bracket, to rotate the toe of the boards upwards a few degrees. This placed my foot at an exact right angle to my leg, much better circulation and comfort. Elongate the right side hole (roll pin) downward, and the left side hole (behind the small chrome bolt) upward, each approx 1/4 inch. Then rotate the board toes up and refasten the large allen bolts etc. It's easier if you remove the footboards first. The difference in comfort is remarkable.
