In February 2014 I bought my CTX 700. It has been a joy to ride and I have put over 50,000 miles on since. One of the comfort things that most of us do is to upgrade the footpegs to floorboards and the seat. I installed a set of Kuryakyn Floorboards just before I began and had Rick Lamm re-do my seat during my 2014 U.S. Four Corners Tour. A lot of comfort issues were resolved for me. There have been many changes and upgrades since then with each providing enjoyable benefits.
I was riding regularly so I remained accustomed to the little things that generated nagging discomfort. Last fall I was out for an 8-hour ride in windy and rain conditions. This event generated a EUREKA moment for me. I figured out why my knees were always sticking out into the wind and rain. My floorboards were mounted into the OEM peg fixtures and additionally the offset adapters added more spacing.
The decision to do something to improve was solidified when I looked down and noticed my feet naturally went to rest on top of the offset adapters. Not only that, my knees naturally tucked into the fairing like they belonged there, EUREKA! I set out to find some Honda parts: HOLDER, 50625-MJF-A00, L. Main Step and HOLDER, 50615-MJF-A00, R. Main Step and found them used on eBay.
