Anybody know where I can get a wide peg (floorboard?) for the passenger? The 1100RT is uncomfortable for the wife to get on/off. The skinny pegs are too tricky for her to use with confidence. I see lot's of floorboards for driver and many options in general,but most are for appearance. Any help is appreciated. Thanks RJ

Try your local Harley dealer. Or online supplier of aftermarket HD parts. There are tons of options.
This is a rear board, about 9 inches long. You may have to fab a bracket or have one made.

Just curious, I have the same model, my wife pops on and off all day with no worries.
Is this a technique issue? Is she wearing slippers or something? Are your rear footpegs defective? I can't imagine that mounting location would be strong enough for the twisting loads put on it by someone standing on a floorboard.Comment

Wife has had two foot surgeries,a hip replacement and suffers from arthritis. It's the lifting the leg over the seat that's tough. Pivoting on a skinny peg is hard (and scary) for her.Comment

What about having her get on first using the front pegs, scooting back and then you getting on?
I have seen some people do it this way.
Another question, do you like the seating position and bar height on that RT?Comment

Yeah, the seat height and bars feel about right. Haven't done any long days tho.
She's better at getting on the bike. After riding,even a short ride, she has trouble getting to the ground. It may be problematic. I want to do what I can.Comment
