RE: extended shifter/brake
That pic was of my previous 2004 RG. I now have the same shifters on my 2006 Ultra SE with lowers. No problem whatsoever; I'm 6'2" andwear size 13 boots. Shifters are well worth the money. The extended brake pedals are really for pre 2006 bikes. Harleys made 2006 and later come with the pedals extended over previous. All the EZ brake pedal really accomplishes on 06 and later touring bikes is to change the angle of the pedal a little, they sit insignificantly farther forward. Dennis Kirk and Sturgis swap meet had best prices at my timeI purchased a second set for my 08 RK this winter.

I put the extended brake and shifter arms on my 03 Heritage (since sold). One MINOR thing to be aware of is that when you extend the shifter arm you increase the throw. That is, the distance you need to move the shifter peg increases. Not a huge deal as you can get used to it pretty quickly - but you'll probably notice it for awhile.

RE: extended shifter/brake
One other thing you need to keep in mind using the extended shifters. Since they are longer, you will have significantly more leverage. Enough so that if you have previously been a heavy footed slam shifter and do this with the extended levers you could easily bend the internal shift forks. All the extended levers require is a smooth light stroke. Properly utilized they are no problem. I've had them on my Ultra since day one, 29000+ often hard ridden miles.

I went with Fastbrake on my RG, +1 in the front and +1.5 in the back. With Soos' 1" extenders, works great for my size 15's.
