I've research all the brake lever that fell in the "easy brake" category and decided I am going to go cheap, so I took my stock lever and modified it to fit me for my slow riding practice. I drilled a hole in th ecenter of the lever at the distance where I wanted the bend to start then cut acrss to the hole heated it for easy bending to the angle that fits me. Very llittle effort to apply the brake and easy to control when you drag them for slow riding. The result I will post later when I have a photo.

I had both on my 95 Fatboy. E-Z Brake hands down is the best. For my 04 FLHT, I didn't want to spend the money so I got the Kuryakyn Girder extended brake pedal from Eastern Performance on ebay for $70 with free shipping. I had it at my door the next day!

The E-Z Brake puts the brake pedal pratically right in front of the floorboard. The Kuryakyn has a nice curve that moves it up from stock position about a few inches.

In my opinion, if you got the cash go with EZ Brake. If not go with Kuryakyn. They both look awesome when installed. BTW I wear a size 13 wide boot and have had no trouble.

Eastern Performance is the best price.
