Default Brake pedal

Is the brake pedal adjustable on the Ultra Limited?

Not at all. It's really an awkward angle that the motor company went with. No doubt designed by a bean counter that doesn't even ride a bike.

Softbrake makes a replacement to match the angle/position of the previous years. I came from a softail so the pedal isn't offensive to me but I have had other guys comment on how high it is compared to their bikes. I did also notice the boards are a lot higher than a buddy's '08 too.

Yep, went with a 'Softbrake' pedal too and the Kuryakyn pedal extension....so much more comfortable.

also went with the softbrake replacement pedal, the +1 inch. Lower and an inch longer. Oh so much better, especially if you're 6'2". And it made with a brass bushing, not a plastic one that was on the original. They also have spacers available that move the boards out 3/4" and they are very nice people.

Any trouble with the boards dragging when moving them out? The boards on my last ride were sharpened but the SGS hasn't ever touched.

I have 1" VTwingoodies extensions on my 14.

No problems.

Where did you guys buy the Softbrake pedal? Did you buy directly from the Softbrake web site?

I'm going to order one today. I'm going with the standard pedal (SB 014 P) - I don't want to move the floorboards out at all.

As mentioned in the other similar threads on this subject, I opted for the Softbrake standard length chrome slotted and is exactly what I was hoping for. Also, same VTwingoodies footboard extensions SafetyMan mentions.

I have the exact same pedal. Love the position.

Btw, I also have the same bar and shield rubber pedal. Are you sure that isn't a picture of mine? Lol.
