RE: Best 50 dollars spent !
Yeah, great mod. No problems with scraping the boards either.
I wear these little clips on the ends of my jeans;to keep them from sliding up my leg; as my regular riding positon is like lying in the bath.
Anyhow, with the stock position the shifter kept unclipping them.Now they don't.
This puts your feet in a much more comfortable riding position, and gives you plenty of foot room. 100% better.

Whats goin on FLSTF. I dont know if the Ness 3" extentions will work, but Ill tell you how to extend them forward 2 inches for $79.00. Get the HD extended rider floorboards for the touring models P/N50409-04. They will fit your bike dont worry. It is really easy to put them on, its only 2 bolts for each floorboard pan. I also recomend getting the Harley Goodies floorboard extenstions that move the boards out away from the bike. You still have the ability to use the Kuryakyn MK III highway pegs if you would like, however it takes a little more work. You can only use 3 of the 4 bolts and you have to drill an extra hole in the support bar that goes on top of your floorbard pan. Overall this will get you so much more room and only cost about $130.00 bucks (not including the Kury pegs). Your rear shifter peg will be in a perfect spot after you do the floorboards, the front shifter could use and extended arm by about an inch but with the Harley Goodies extenstions you dont need it, the board is pushed out away from the bike so your feet donth hit the shifters anymore. Also the break pedel, if you dont have an EZ-break or some equivelant.I highly recomend that as well. Here is the link to the originalthreadhttps://www.hdforums.com/m_2502956/tm.htm
Her are the pics of what I did.

In this pic you can see the Harley goodies extenstion and the extended floorboards, notice how far forward the bords are in relationship to the shifters, and how the shifters arnt over top the floorboard anymore.
Same with the otherside.
Here is a pic of how the Kuryakyn MK III pegs mount. The first red circle on the left is where I had to make the extra hole to make them work on the extended rider boards. You will also notice there are only 3 bolts holding them on. I have not had any problems, and have had them on my bike for over a year.

RE: Best 50 dollars spent !
Thanks chris for posting pictures. I should have done that when I posted. Did not have a handy pic of them installed. I really like the way the boards are opened up and the riding postion now. I talked to the owner of Harley Goodies. Really cool guy and had them in two days. It's nice to get something forthe bike that isreasonably priced, Made in the USand has great results.

RE: Best 50 dollars spent !
Does anyone have pictures/recommendations about the part numbers and satisfaction of moving the floorboards forwardand out (using the Harley Goodies parts) on a Softail Deluxe?? The highway pegs in those photos look outstanding. Great work!

HD only makes the "D" shaped boards in the extended rider boards. So for moving Deluxe boards forward you will have to find another way or go to the "D" shaped boards that the rest of us use.
