I am 5'8" and have them on my 2006 'Lectra Glide Classic and luv them. I wear Chippewa logger boots that have a thick sole and sit on an HD Sundowner seat. I have no issues with my foot placement either on the footboard or on the ground. Up thru 2008 the footboards on baggers had 3 vertical position adjustments. In 2009 the MoCo in its infinite wisdom made the footboard position fixed.
I am looking into floorboard extensions and was wondering what everyone would suggest based from their experiences with them. I have lowers installed and I am 5'8" on a good day. Would you guys recommend the 1" or 1.5"? Is the 1.5" too much for the lowers? Thanks, for any input.
You may find the following video to be useful in your decision making process on Floorboard Extensions.
Even though this video is showing a Softail, the principles are exactly the same for the Touring Models.

You can also develop the habit of simply keeping your feet to the outside of the boards.

Yeah it's a great feature. I raised my footboards with 1" extensions on them up to the highest setting when I did the Tail Of The Dragon and also when I head on down to W Virginia to ride the twisties down there. That extra clearance is great in the tight curves.
