I put on the extensions and raised the front one hole. No problems with clearance when turning. Good to hear you're OK.

If you ever scrape the passenger floorboards you will have plenty to talk about. I have the extensions on my 08UC and have only scraped the right floorboard 1 time in a year. I was pushing it on an exit more and more each time to find the zone and after i found it i never scraped again. If you like to take turns at a good clip you will scrape and you will learn where that zone is. I like the extenders and what they did for me.

Thanks to all for the reply's.. I did scrape the right front floorboard.. Pretty good as I looked at it yesterday.. I would have thought it would have flipped up too.. Putting my foot down was preservation instinct.. As I said we were only doing about 20 mph.. I have seen the ride like a pro video and learned a lot from it.. I need to find and watch it again to get a refresher..!!

I am going to remove the extenders today and see how much more clearance I have.. (Without the G-Friend on the back!)

OH.. And thanks for all the nice comments.. SO.. Here's one of her from Biketoberfest for you guys..!!

Dang.. For some reason it won't let me upload the cheesecake one of her in chaps at the Iron Horse.. So here's one by the bus.. And one from when we 1st met last year..(on my old Bob..)

I don't know how you managed to do what you did, I have had extensions on mine for a year and after they scrape once you know how far you can push it.

I scrape so much, that if I don't scrape at all, I feel like I'm not riding right. My riding hasn't changed at all since the floorboards have been extended. I was originally freaked out by the scrape, now I crave it.
