making more room

Just bought a 17 RKS, coming off a 2010 SG. feel like I wanna stretch out some. Seems like I lost some room on the dance floor and feet got bigger! :-) A friend suggested extenders to push floorboards out 3/4 inch away from bike. Loving these, no need to squeeze knees on tank and I can now rest heel on floorboard and toe on hwy peg. Anyone else using these?

Yep...for about 10 years now. I have em on both bikes and put em on my Brothers RK. I also use extended shift levers and lower angle foot brake levers.

If you really want to stretch your legs and want about the best comfortable mod you can get add Cyclesmiths Banana Boards. Hands down best thing since sliced bread.

Same here as Davenrino. I have size 14 feet. And the Kury longhorn pegs, mounted low on the engine guards so you can just slide your feet off the foot boards:

mounted low so I can leave my heels on the footboards. The extended shift levers form a slight downward "V" so I don't have to raise my foot much to shift. I really don't care for the factory setup with an upward "V". The downward "V" wouldn't work as well without the footboard extensions.

I have extenders on the front of my floorboards only, beware that they will scrape easier now... On my second set of floorboards!

I put on VTwinGoddies footboard extensions on the Bike, and along with 2 of H-Ds extended shift levers.
I've now have room for my big feet. (5E shoes)
