They still have the adjustable mounts on Ronnie's Harley Davidson Parts Finder, which are the same part numbers as my 2019 mounts, maybe they will supply them later, I work at an Audi dealer, right now when you buy a new one, you only get one key/remote because of the chip shortage, their suppose to supply the second one when they have stock??

The simple solution I offered to Harley customer service was to commit to me that once they become available, I would receive a set. They refused.

You should be upset.

So I went onto Harley's website to see if they gave a detailed description of your bike. Couldn't find anything detailed.
Next I compared it to a standard Limited. Again not enough detail.
I then went to the bottom of their web page and clicked on the Owners Manuals link. I loaded my 2015 CVO Limited VIN number, went to vehicle documents, and clicked on Owner's Manual. Clicked on Controls and Indicators, and then clicked on Adjustable Passenger Foot Boards. It showed how to adjust them.

My thought is if the Owner's Manual for your bike has the Adjustable Foot Boards instructions, then the bike should have them. Call again and have them explain this if they show up for your year bike.

I also went to the parts section and there is currently a 12 week wait for Adjustable Passenger Foot Boards.

Seems like they don't have these and are throwing on standard brackets.

Good Luck

I would be upset, but nowdays I guess it is to be expected from the MoCo.   It is probably true being a supply chain issue, all the parts from China are sitting in ships off the coast in California.

I have bought my last CVO and probably last HD, my 16 has IMO one of the last decent paint jobs for a Limited and came with chrome accessories.   For what the MoCo wants for the new ones with the dated tech, limited accessories, and crap paint schemes I am done with them; the CVO line used to be the dream bikes, now they are just profit.

Couldn’t agree more. I think I’m on my last Harley.

Re last 2 responses about last HD. I say LOL famous last words. We all come back to the trough eventually.

Not all.  Last new bike I bought was a 2005.  That was the last of quite a few over lots of years.  Issues mounted thereafter and were compounded by company behavior.  I rely on good aftermarket for parts everywhere I can for all my bikes and really can not envision buying a new machine from Mother Harley.  No knock on those that love the new bikes or even some of the improvements seen in the company and its engineering.  I'm just someone they lost though.  If shopping new it'd be Indian or Goldwing.  But, realistically, my old bikes do everything I need them to and do so more reliably and with less expense.  Some stuff on the newer machines I could not work on at home.  Can do anything that needs to be done on the relics I have here.

This is my position to a "T".  I'm keeping the 2006 Harley I have, and I just bought a GoldWing.  Threads like this one leave me feeling angry and frustrated.  Angry at the MoCo, and frustrated for the original poster.

It shouldn't be like this.  But it is, and we accept it.

MoCo is playing a Jenga game with their bikes.  Question is - how many parts will they remove before the whole thing falls down? 

Am on my last HD unless something unforeseen happens, like I win 1 in a drawing.  Paying more for less is much too common these days as a business marketing strategy & as long as we pay & play, it will continue.

I bought mine in Jan 2021. Adjustable passenger floorboards have become a must since the missus is vertically challenged, lol. I would contact Harley if yours dont and see what they say:

I had the Goldwing (2019) for 2 yrs and hated it every moment. Went from a '16 CVO Ltd to '19 GW and now back to a '21 CVO Ltd. IMO no comparison, I like the CVO much better. My FIL has had GWs all his life and wouldn't buy anything else. To each his own, hope you enjoy your GW, it's a great bike but just not for me.

GM is doing basically the same thing, at least on the trucks. You no longer get heated seats, heated steering wheel or Auto start/stop and no HD radio station availability and only get pennies off the price for the lack of these items. BUT they will notify you, or the dealer(?) when the items are available as a kit and will be retro-fit for FREE.
HD should own-up and do the same.

  Totally agree with you especially since I have the same bike.  I love the silver and blue.  No better looker IMO.

Disagree! Love the bronze armor. Wasn’t sure how all finish on the metal parts would hold up but one year later, so far so good.

[Bobs14Limited]

Plain and simple. The bean counters had to justify their lucrative salaries and had to delete the adjustable passenger foot boards. They did the same thing with the 2020 CVO bikes by deleting satellite radio, CVO rider foot board mounts (cheap black mounts instead of the aluminum they've always had) and quite a few other items.
I got rid of my 2020 CVO Limited and am through with Harley.
Besides, within 5 years, they will either go belly up or more likely be sold to an overseas company.
As with everything, they had a long run and it's time for it to end.
