Installed footboard extensions from VTwin Goodies. $67 shipped. About an hour to install, taking my time. Moves the boards out 1.5". And also makes the forward section of the boards more accessible and comfortable to stretch out a bit.
Initially I was concerned that there would be a troublesome gap created between the boards and the engine. But there really isn't. It's only 1.5". In practice, my shoes / boots just span the gap and I can operate the controls just as before, as long as I'm willing to move my feet into the standard position to brake / shift, which feels normal to do and it works fine. When moving steady-state, I now have additional real-estate with really no downside. On my Fatboy Lo (Model S) the boards do scrape a little more when leaned in turns. But it's no big deal.
I recommend these if you want to spread things out a bit, both side-to-side and even forward.
