I got this text a couple hours ago.
I ordered the 1.5” forward and out kit.
I’ll let you know what I think after I install them.
I do not however have lowers.

 

Just be aware that your feet will be farther spread out when you stop. I put them on my Heritage, it took some getting used to and I'm 6'0".

 

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'm really happy with the Cyclesmith's 19 inch Banana boards on my 2018 FLHTP. No longer have highway peg on crash bar.

 

1" is preferable for many reasons. (lean angle being one, catching the pant leg or boot another).

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.

 

Put some spacers in between the board mounts and the frame. You might need longer mount bolts as a result. I used stacked washers on mine to do that.

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

 

I bought the DK Customs extensions and they are top notch. If i would have known about these sooner i would have put them on every bike i've had.

 

I didn't know lf any adjustments on my 08, never really thought about it though

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.
