Just an FYI. On '08 and earlier models, there are 4 bolts that are used to secure the jiffy stand to the frame. 2 of these are removed and replaced with new bolts when installing my extension kit. '09 models were redesigned and do not use this set up.

I was just thinking about lean angle and my highway pegs, and decided the 3/4 would work best for my riding style.

Just installed the 1" 'ers and did it on the jiffy stand. Hope your concrete is warmer than mine. I still think its frozen.

After a few rides I can't say enough on how it helped with my riding comfort. Great product Soos!

I'm also looking for opinions on the 1" extenders.

Are you scraping your floorboards regularly with them?

I scrape my "fairly" regularly, sometimes on purpose, sometimes, it just happens, not really that big a deal anymore to be honest.

Mike...you're killing me...I just 'made' my decision to buy the SK-6 for my 09 Ultra but you are "Temporarily Out of Stock"

Guess I'll have to wait. Must be a popular item.

Mike, Jim ... 220/221...whatever it takes

Cool! Guess I'll just check back mid-week next week. The 1" Passenger extensions are installed, but I've not had a chance to have my "Fender Fluff" ride with me yet, so I don't have any feedback. However, I am praying for this storm to blow through without much snow, so I can indeed ride on Sunday.
