Default Extended or E-Z brake?

i'm thinking of changing the brake pedal on the Ultra. Which is most functional, the E-Z brake or the Kuryakyn extended brake?

You better have long legs if you go extended, put one by walters workshop on a 02 and at 6' it was all I could do to press it far enough to stop.

6'3" and the Extended is ideal! What an major improvement in style, quality and comfort over the stock POS. Even has a grease fitting & a decent price...what more could ya want?

Ditto!

I've had the same set (both brake and long shifter) on three different bikes. They are awesome!

The Kuryakyn Girder extended I went with has a weird angle for the brake pad. I have the Ness Chrome and rubber pad and my foot slips when wet because my boot only catches the bottom edge now. Plus, its a lot thicker so I had to do some creative pounding to get the pad on the pedal and needless to say...it's never coming off without a cutting instrument. Wish I would have spent the extra for the Ez-Brake.
