I'm seriously asking, as I'm the type to typically "put up with stuff". That said, this question may make something so obvious that I might not be able to un-see it. We'll see!

I have had an extend brake pedal on 2013,2016 , 2017 and one is going on my 2020. Now the why. Forget extend for a minute. The stock pedal come up at a sharp angle, making it harder at extreme low speeds to use rear brake and clutch to move in tight spaces. The extended pedal lowers that angle a good bit giving you better control of the brake. There are two different ones . One for bike with hard lower and those with out lowers.

Kuryakyn offers both sizes and either Black or Chrome. Theirs also has a grease fitting if you get a chance to try one you every well may like it.

I had the Kuryakyn on my 14 SG w/o lowers. Wat better then stock for the reasons everyone mentioned. Put new boards on, and in that process, decided I wanted to widen them out and wanted a longer lever. Went with the +3" Softbrake. It; gave me roughly an extra inch and maintained the same angle. I got a 36"+ inseam.

Shameless plug: The Kuryakyn arm is for sale in the classifieds.
