Whats everyone running for the extended reach brake pedal kit. Kury soft brake dk.... im 6 ft and the stock one is killing my foot
No offense... but actually a serious question. Why an extended brake pedal? What does it do for you, and how does the factory one "kill your foot"? The earlier bikes had a brake pedal that sat right over the footboard. I always thought that was kinda silly. What year is your bike?
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!
SoftBrake is a good source. They have lowered and extended versions available as well as ones that stick out a bit from the frame. Comes with everything you need to install. And it's an American made product from an small American company if that matters to you.

Would like to know what length people are running. I also have been looking at their levers too
I have the +1 (1 inch extended) version. Much more of a natural angle to get to and still plenty of room on the boards. I'll definitely be getting a set of their brake and clutch levers next.
Yes i have been leaning towards this one. Hear the kury one doesnt fit right and needs some work to fit.
Soft makes i think 3 sizes if i recall. Would like to know what length people are running. I also have been looking at their levers too
All depends on what bike you have...or more specifically, does your bike have lowers? If so, +1 may be the max you can go. If no lowers, then of course there's more room.
I had the +1 on my previous 12 UC with vented lowers. Even with the +1 I couldn't open the vent all the way as it would interfere...but at 6'3" I much preferred the longer brake pedal as opposed to fully open vent.
I will be ordering their +1 (offset one) again for my new 2020.
The first thing I changed on my Ultra was the brake pedal. I found the angle of the brake pedal uncomfortable to me. I replaced it with a Kuryakan extended pedal and it made a big difference. The angle is somewhat less steep and feels much more comfortable.
I have the extended brake pedal. It was a pain to put on. I had to remove it to install my lowers. Now it's just sitting in my tool box. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't bother even without the lowers.

What brand did you get? The one I got from SoftBrake took less than 10 mins to install.
