Default Extended shift and/or brake levers

Any comments on extended shift and/or brake levers?

I am a member of the no-heel-shift-camp, and am looking to get a little more room on my floorboards, but am also looking to get a better match for when wearing boots.
If I set my shift lever height up to easily fit the toe of my boot it's too high off the floorboard, and the next CCW rotation of the spline makes it too low for the toe to fit under.

I'd also like to move the brake pedal out and down a bit.

I'll experiment with floorboard angle and shift lever position to see if I can find a happy medium, but would certainly appreciate some input from anyone who may have already swapped either, or both, for something like the Kuryakyn extended shift and brake levers.

I have the ones made by EZ Brake. Well-made and plenty of room now, combined with floorboard extensions.

I ended up with 2 sets.......(double ordered/my dumb)......they are great. More room on the board and braking is a ton better.

+1 Ezy Brake and Ezy Shift with floorboard extenders and ISO Boards. Loads of room and nothing on my boards except my feet!

I have the extended shift levers, and the floorboard spacers.

I also have the Kuryakyn brake lever. I'm very happy with the setup. My foot is no longer "trapped" under the brake pedal.

I wouldn't be without my extended shift lever (for the heal side only) from Walter's Workshop. One of the best and simplest mods I've ever done.
