Another solution is to get the low profile OUTLAW HiFlow 587 Air Cleaner. You should have a straight shot at the brake pedal without the stock A/C pushing your leg out from the bike.

PLUS you will have an air cleaner that your engine will like.

Yeah. I had this issue on my Fat Bob. I installed Footboards while I was home on leave in March and the brake pedal is larger and much better. Not sure it'll work with Forwards though.

Me too. I believe this will be my next mod. Pulled the stock rubber pad back and saw the brake pedal itself has a mounting hole in it. No reason a longer pedal pad shouldn't work.

This really annoyed my when I got my bike. I found a wider pedal and rode with that for a while. I think it was this one...

At some point, one of the rubber pads came off, so I put the stock pedal back on. I guess by then I was used to it, because it doesn't bug me anymore.

I did a combo of things...

A Kuryakin Longhorn pedal pad moved the pad over to the right an inch. I put 1" extended pegs on so my foot could move over to the right. I fitted a slimmer S&S air cleaner so my leg wasn't pushed out so far.

I first installed a Danny Gray Butt Crack Big seat that keeps me from having to point my feet out as it moves you up a notch, enough to make it comfortable.
then I got some wild pedals for foot rest that give you good room for your feet.

You will have to drill the hole bigger for the larger pedal as previously stated I think it's going to be 1/2"

I thought the Butt Crack moved you down and back.
