Default floor board extensions

Going to order some floor board extensions but wondering about fit. The passenger ones, no problem but not sure if the front ones will fit with a lower fairing? Hard to measure because of the angles but it looks like it will be tight. Don't want it so close that it might crack the fairing.

Personally, I use the Soos Kit 1" Floorboard Extenders for the rider.

The fitment and quality of the Soos Kit is first class. Plus, he's a forum member and will be able to answer your questions.

I have the 1in extensions in the front and 3/4in for the passenger footboards. They fit well on My Ultra Classic. Check out Soos-Kits.com

Thanks guys, was going to order the v-twin goodies set but since you were the first to reply and recommend the soos-kit (I hadn't checked them out yet) and they were less $ and free shipping I think I'll go with them. Is there a reason you went with 1" in the front and 3/4 in the back?

I Found that the one inch in the front allows Me to move Feet around more on long trips. 3/4 in back allows You to back up easier.

I can not advise on as I do not have Lowers, but I went with the 3/4 inch on the front and now wish I had gone with the 1 inch. I do not need to upgrade right away but just thought I would throw that out there.

Having lowers is not an issue. You have the same amount of clearance between your foot and the lowers. The extensions only move the board out not up.

The 1" extenders for the rider gets his/her footprint far enough away from the frame/air cleaner to be comfortable. IMHO, I don't think that you need them for the passenger.

One of the best things I ever did to my bike. I have the lowers with 1" extensions from v twin goodies and I can honestly say that I will have these on all of my future bikes.

In my sig pic I don't have the lowers on but I do have the extensions - the lowers went on last winter.
