Default Extended Front Brake pedal 94 Fatboy, Options?

Asking for a friend;
He has a 94 Fatboy with the factory front brake pedal and he's have the same problem many before (I'm sure) have had.
The thing sit's so high and back,, he big clod hopper foot is way underneath the pedal when resting on the foot board,, it's uncomfortable reach for the brake.
I've found the Kuryakyn extended pedal;
http://www.kuryakyn.com/products/98/...d-brake-pedals

Are there more choices or better options to bring the pedal down?

I don't have that problem with my 2002 Fat Boy, but I do with my 2001 RK. I've got one of the brake pedals linked above in my shopping cart at J&P. Just haven't made the purchase yet.
I've found some other brands, but they're much more money than the Kury.

I have the Kury units on both of my softys, my Dad had the Softbrake version on his two softys. Both of us wear a size 13 shoe and this has helped dramatically on both our Evos and Twin Cams. Walters Workshop is another option for extended brake and shift levers. I am running his extended shift levers (front only) on both of my softails too. All of that paired with the extended floorboards make for a great roomy ride for my feet!

I'm not trying to give you a hard time here. Legitimate question. What makes the one for my application worth $179 when I can get the Kuryakyn for $90?

probably quality but since not seen either i cant say but generally speaking you get what you pay for most of the time with the odd eexception of someone just ripping you off for a pile of crap.

No kidding? I've purchased Kuryakyn stuff in the past. Never any problems with any of it. That's why I posed to the question to the seller of the other brand.
I own a business and quite often am asked why my product is better than the other guy. I'm always prepared to show a customer why.

No problem. But I think it's a legitimate question. If one item is double the price of another, I'd like to know why.
