Default Brake pedal ?
I have 2017 ultra low, and the brake pedal feels to high and a little close for me. I am 5’6” ,so not tall. What options are there for a brake pedal that would be a little lower and slightly forward?

Just a suggestion....how about using a seat that allows you to move back an inch or two?

Check out Softbrake. I really like the one I have on my bike. They make several different lengths and offsets, but all about 20 degrees lower than stock.

Just a suggestion!

Max Lean Harley Bagger Foot Controls | Kraus Moto

Notice rotary articulation where the Pedal attaches to the Lever for adjustment, Up, Down, Forward and Back.

Yes you can spend upwards of $1000 on a seat that moves you back an inch or two
OR
You and do something like spend $150 on a break pedal like this Kuryakyn Extended Brake Pedal for example, https://kuryakyn.com/search/?query=e...-brake--pedals
There are many out there this is just one brand, its the one I chose to solve the same issue
search "Extended Brake Pedal for YOUR BIKE"
is what I would recommend

I suppose it could be the answer for some riders. But $680 for a single brake pedal would put it out of the question for me.

Get the Kuryakyn, it will do all you need. Make sure you get the correct model - lowers or no lowers.

Softbrake pedals on my `19 Electra glide, `22 Tri Glide, and my `89 Heritage Softail.

Best mods I have done to any of these machines.

Agreed. That's insane.

Softbrake is what I used on all three Harley's I've owned.
