For me it was just reaching out a bit farther. Don't even notice it now. They are one of the best things you can do. It's nice to be able to move your feet forward or backward and not hit the shifter.

interestingly; it was a little hard to reach the jiffy stand on the Fatboy, but not on the RKC.

I have them on mine and would never ride again without them. It takes a little different technique to use the stand (more with the toe), but you get used to it quickly. As the poster said above, I don't notice it at all. It's a very minor inconvenience for alot more comfort.
