Default ez shift and or ez brake on a 08 street glide

Hey all, looking into my newest upgrade that I would like to do, and that is the ez brake and ez shift upgrades on my 08 street glide. Is either one of these that big of a difference? Any help would be great, I have heard great things about these products, but also heard that the 08's are close in comparision to the ez brake and ez shift... thanks!

Please help..

RJ

Both these items found their way onto my bike before it was even a month old. Great products, considering my size 13EE boots. I now have much more room on the floorboards, and my right foot never gets trapped beneath the brake pedal.

I have an EZ Brake on both my Hds. They're Great.. Great Combo with SOOS's Floorboard extenders moving the floorboards out really helps.

I don't think they make an Ez brake for the 08 touring yet.I had an 06 and my Ez brake wouldn't work on my 08.

Take a look at the ones from Softbrake at softbrake.com I was thinking about changing my brake on my 06 classic. I ran into them out in Sturgis. I changed both the brake and the shifter. I can't believe what a difference they made. I should of done this sooner. Rick'a a great guy to deal with. I had a bent cross memeber that he straighten out for me when he put them on.
