Footboard extenders
I am thinking about putting on some footboard extenders. Am leaning towards the Kuryakyn (part #4588 1”out 1”forward). I have read the past post on this and understand the scraping issues and all but, hey, that’s why they fold up, right?
My question is, do I need to do anything with the brake pedal and shifter such as extending those as well. I currently use the heel shift but have no problem getting rid of it. I know some of you have these or something similar and any info would be greatly appreciated. 05 FLHRCI by the way.

Re: Footboard extenders
I put a pair of floorboard extenders on my 09 Road Glide. It moved the floorboards out about an inch. Much more comfortable and I didn't have to change the shift lever or the brake lever. My feet find them just fine.

Re: Footboard extenders
I put a pair from Harleygoodies on my 09 RG. Moved out the boards by 1". It does make a big difference in the ride and it's an easy instal. Just make sure you run a nut down and back on the chromed bolt to clear out any excess chrome and ensure easier assembly when installing them.

Re: Footboard extenders
He means to use the nut to "chase" the threads first, clean them out of any chrome flash etc.
Have them on my 08 FLHT and love them. I have big feet and may still get an extended shift lever (for one or the other) but it really helps. Mine are from Harleygoodies. |

Re: Footboard extenders
I'm 6'7" and my knees would bug me alot and sometimes my hip too but since I put my extenders on no more problems at all. I did about 1000 mile trip last weekend and got home without one ache or pain. Tallboy seat is awesome too.
