Default floorboard spacers

Has anyone tried these on the 2014 tri glides? I'm wondering how it goes together in light of the parking brake.

If you are referring to the Kuryakyn floor board spacer that move the floor boards outward about an inch, yes I have tried them. Unfortunately they will not work. I started on the right side and they went on easily then moved to the left side and because of the parking brake change from 13 they will not fit. I contacted Kuryakyn because they told me they would fit before I ordered them and asked what was going on. They got back with me after contacting their tech support and were apologetic and said I was correct they will not fit the 14's.

I thought the only thing missing to make it work on a 2014 trike was another spacer and 1 longer bolt. 2 items that you have to get on your own. The post I remember got his at Tractor Supply.

This is exactly what I bought from Dennis Kirk.
Kuryakyn Relocator Bracket for Driver Floorboards - 4588
I have a 14 and they worked just fine. I had to (ever so slightly) bore the floor board holes out to accept the pin to go back thru. Other than that no problems.

Put the floor board extenders on your '09 and '11 Tri-Glides. Worked great to reduce the 'hot foot syndrome' Hope the above post helps with the install on your '14.

Vtwingoodies now has floorboard extension kits for the 2014 and 2015 models. They work fine with the new style parking brake.

Any idea who makes this for vtwingoodies? I looked at their part and like what I see. I sent them a email asking fitment questions if these will work with the Vance and Hines Dresser Duals that I have on my tirke. The reason I have asked this is that the Dresser Duals came with a spacer that moved the right floorboard out a small amount for the new pipes to clear. I had originally bought the kuryakyn parts and the right floor board spacers that they had worked fine it was just the left did not fit so I returned them. I don't know who makes the vtwingoodies kit but I would assume if the kuryakyn right floorboard spacers worked that the vtwingoodies would work. Hopefully someone on this site can tell me who makes the vtwingoodies parts and if they will fit my 14 trike with the VH headers.

vtwingoodies makes them themselves.

After I discovered that their pre 14 kits only needed one additional spacer on the left to work with the 14 & 15's, I spoke with Tom and gave him the specs.

He is now making them.

As long as the V&H kit moves the floorboard straight out (and not forward or backward, or up or down) then there is no reason that the vtwingoodies would not work with the pipes.

I have the vtwingoodies floorboard extensions on my 2014 and they work as designed.
I have not encountered any parking brake issues.

Got my vtwingoodies floorboard spacers in the mail today. Maybe I can get them on tomorrow. I live North of Cincinnati and it's starting to get cold.
