Because
of the dual pipes on the Retro, the passenger foot pegs are
approximately 2 inches higher than the C. Add to that the
diameter of the stock pipes and you have few accessories
available for dropping the passenger foot peg and offering much in the way of
passenger comfort.

The Kuryakyn
off set mounts are an adequate option and they are awesome for
passenger comfort. (See that review "here")
The advantage you have with the Kury option is that it's
adjustable. That also becomes its failing. Every time you turn
around it is loose and it's not sturdy enough to allow the
passenger to use it as a step to mount the bike.
The Cycle-istic drop
down mounts are the perfect alternative. They also drop the passenger foot position down
on the Retro approximately 2 inches or about to the center of
the top pipe. They help the passenger to extend their legs
down just enough to take the strain and pressure off the
knees
and hip. Considering they are one piece and they have no
setting adjustments you eliminate the Kury problems.
You can add
the Kury ISO Wing
or any other brand floor board with these drop down mounts and they
will make an excellent foot position for
passenger comfort.
We all
know, if the passenger is happy you will have a much more
enjoyable trip! Also the Cycle-istic option is cheaper than
the Kury at $80 plus $7 handling! You can't go wrong.
Please
note: The Cycle-istic drop downs will not work on the C model
with single exhaust. Make sure to check your ride for proper
clearance.
