Look up EZ Brake. Puts the pedal farther ahead and lower that any other on the market. Real happy with what it did for me. Good luck Bro.

I have an '01 Ultra and I didn't like the short pedal either. I put a longer one from a newer year and it helps a lot. You can pick them up on Ebay cheap, usually $20-$30 including shipping.

I went with the E-Z Brake and I love it. Yes, it's more expensive but for me the position is perfect.

+1 on the EZ brake. I used to do alot of city driving to and from work, and it made 100% difference.

I had the same problem with my 07 CU. I bought the EZ pedel from the dealer, installed it and found that it was exactly the same height. Expensive part for no gain. I took it back. I decided to cut the OEM pedal in half and design my own pedal using aircraft grade 1/4 inch alumimun. Now the pedal is exactly the correct height - at now cost.

I found an extended brake pedal from a later model bagger for 25.00 at a swap meet and put it on my 2000 RG. Works great![sm=biker2.gif]
