Here's a thread with pics and instructions from when I added extensions that moved my floorboards out 1" and forward 1". One of the best comfort additions that I've made to my 2010 SE Ultra and since they are chrome they look excellent on the bike. Easy install and they've been trouble free from the time I installed them. Hopefully it helps.

One of the questions the OP had was if the shifter and brake pedal required any adjustment. I'm curious about this as well. If the floorboards move up, what happens to the controls? Thank you.
If you are uncomfortable with the new position of the boards being moved forward get the EX brake setup. Most people are find with the new setup, but it really is a personal choice.

After installing the FB extenders in the link above, I personally did not feel a need to extend the levers. The comfort was great with the existing brake and shift levers (inculding the position of the heel shifter). FWIW, I'm 6'3" with a 34" inseam.
It's worth noting that the FB relocators I used moved the FB's forward 1" and outward 1". If you end up moving the FB's more than this amount, you may find that you need to use extended levers.

It's raining in So. Cal. today, so I installed my floor board extenders. Surprisingly, I thought the left side would be more difficult than the right side... WRONG! The front hex nut on the right side was a bitch! It took me about 90 minutes to install, but well worth the time. Seems like a great product, and I love the new position. I don't feel the need at all to change the controls. In fact, the brake seems much more comfortable.
