I've got a set I'm running with Tall Boy foot board relocators.. Nice to have some room for the size 13 boots. Also have a +3" Softbrake extension

I have the large on my bike. Love em.

I also use Tall Boys mounting brackets which drop them a little, and Kuryakyn 4058s which push them out and forward. Along with the Softbrake levers on both sides the bike is a dream to ride. Very, very comfortable.

I haven't had any bending issues and I stand up on the boards probably more than average. I'm 220#.

Dang, didn't know you had them.

Here is a shot of the ones I just got with one of my boots on it to put the boards into a size perspective. I got a cough/cold for Christmas yesterday and feel pretty crappy so don't know when I will get around to putting them on. Crappy picture but I feel crappy. Crappy crappy crappy....

After giving this question a lot of thought It came to a tie, between putting on Heritage handle bars and removing the heel shifter and cutting off the shaft where the heel shifter went.
