I cannot seem to find any floorboard extenders that work with the RG/SG Limited with the lowers. You can't replace the bracket or use the extenders that fasten to the frame - the front bracket will contact the faring.
I tried to use my old Kuryakyn Extenders, but the front one wasn't deep enough to get the bolts through. Otherwise, these would have worked. Any ideas?
(No, I don't want to grind the bracket)
Those look like the old version Kuryakyn had that won't fit Rushmore and newer floorboards. I kept the set I had on my 2010 and found that they would not fit my 23 model. I just looked at them and they are exactly like what you have in your picture.
They list a newer set that they say will fit your bike. That same part they say will also fit my bike, so that would indicate the floorboards and mounts are the same on the 23 and 26 models. They move the floorboards out one inch and forward one inch. Here is a link to them:
They might be a cheap experiment. I wound up going with the Tall Boys brackets though and like them much better than when I had these extenders on my old bike. They use one inch spacers which also adds legroom. Keeps me from keeping tension on my leg muscles because the boards are so close to the frame. They also require the use of a SoftBrake brake pedal which lays the pedal down to where it is MUCH easier to use the rear brake. There's no way I could go back, that Tall Boys setup is that big of an improvement.

Good luck.
These were on my 2014 (Rushmore) Ultra Limited. I can't do anything that moves the bracket, otherwise it hits the lower faring. I ordered the SoftBrake pedal two days ago - had that on my 2014 as well.
I will definitely take a look at those in the link above... however, I got the black chrome on this bike. I guess I could paint them black if they work.

Looking closer at the years listed it appears that they might have changed those floorboard mounts in 2017 with the M8 motors. I'd be interested to see how much space there is between your floorboards and lowers. Lots of us have used the Tall Boys brackets on bikes with lowers, they just don't sit quite as low if you don't trim them. After a year or so I finally decided to trim my lowers a little bit with a dremel and a sanding wheel and gained another !/2 to 3/4" of room (it allowed the front of the boards to go down farther. If you can't lower the boards any on your bike, I'm wondering if moving them forward an inch is possible.
Feel like posting a pic from the side? You got me curious...
Edit: looking at a pic on the HD website the lowers do look kinda weird from what I imagined. For some reason they have the plastic from the lowers extending underneath the floorboard which to me serves no purpose at all. It does look like they have plenty of room to go forward though so those Kuryakyn pieces should work fine. You might want to email Tall Boys Cycles and see if they have installed a set of their brackets on one of these bikes if you don't like the Kuryakyn parts. Sometimes just a minor tweak can pay off big time.
That's about how far my boards were from the lowers. The thing with the Tall Boys brackets is the rear of the boards goes down a little more than the front. The front of my boards is resting on the lowers but it doesn't hurt anything. Been that way for a couple of years now.
On your bike it looks like the bracket itself would hit the plastic, which if you wanted might could be notched to get them in there. Up to you as to whether you need more than the one inch forward and out. With the TB brackets the boards go out an inch and down about two inches in the back and one inch in the front, but they do not go forward at all, which is how I was able to use them with my lowers. I do understand not wanting to do any cutting on a new bike if you can avoid it.
Remembering back to those Kuryakyn pieces they are pretty flimsy if you just mount them as is. I remember I had to get a lot of stainless steel washers and shim up the gaps in the bolts to keep from bending the mounting slots on the floorboard while tightening and preventing them from flopping around loosely. I was able to get them secure, but it took a little fiddling. I wouldn't just mount them without shimming, I'd be scared of them.
That's the groovy thing about these touring bikes; they CAN be made to fit just about anyone, but sometimes we have to do things that won't "officially" work to get them there. I've kept parts from older bikes that Harley swore wouldn't work on my newer one, but fit just fine with a little tweaking.
100% agree with you on the Kury extenders - I had to do that with my last bike - just on the one bracket though (can't recall front or back). They were tight.
I think I would like the tall boy brackets better if they would fit without cutting. But everything online says they won't fit. I may just order them anyway. I can always return.

Might be worth a call to them if you are interested. I'm thinking those lowers were first introduced on the 25 Street Glide "Ultra", so that would make two model years in service. Maybe they have gotten feedback or tried a set to test. It's funny how you can get used to things. If I ever sit on a stock bike and try to hook my right foot up to work the brake pedal my hamstrings cry out in pain. That being said though the newer bikes seem to have better seats, so maybe yours isn't as bad.
I called Tall Boys... they don't have anything because of the lower faring. Nothing planned either.
My wife loves the seat, but it's almost too short for me. When sitting on the bike, I can't see any of the seat and my thighs touch the tank. It is very comfortable except for that, and it's heated.
I posted on a FB group and got flamed as "bitchin" about it.
