Default footboard extensions

First off, I have a 30" inseam, lowered my RK Classic 1". I think I want to move my footboards forward. I saw Karyaken had some that move them forward an inch and out an inch. I also saw an extension that only moves it out one inch. That being said I scrape fairly often as it is, on a sharp turn onto a side street. But it is tolerable.

Im running the Kuryakyn Relocators and like them. They move out 1" and forward 1" so they wont reduce your lean angle as much as if you only go out 1" because as the floorboards move forward they also go a little higher off the ground because of the angle they are mounted.

Another option is the HD Reach Floorboard pans they move the boards forward 1" for about 70.00

Probably one of the best mods that I have done as far as comfort. I wear a size 12 and there was no room to move my foot around when they were up against the bike, particularly on the shifter side. They are also nice because they move your feet away from the heat of the motor. Not a big deal depending on where you are at, but I have been in Phoenix in August and every little bit helped there. I should mention that I have the 1" extension to move out, but not forward. Was told they would not work with my lowers on, and I use those half the year.

I used the HD reach footboards w/ Harley Goodies. Just right for my 30" inseam. I may eventually put on the FBI flip out pegs, but am pretty happy now.

I've got the extensions that move the footboards out one inch and haven't scrapped them yet. They are a lot more comfortable on my '09 Ultra Classic.

I did both of these. My bike is lowered 1" in the rear. I don't often scrap the boards.
