I believe Kurakyn has a set of extensions that move floorboards out & up. I think these are the ones:

I have the Goodies on my 2012 SG. I would guess that they haven't updated their website in a few years.

I have a question about the HG extensions. I bought them and installed them on my '10 FLHX. While in the mountains I dumped my bike on a tight turn. One of riders swears that it is because of the extensions; did not allow my bike to lean far enough to make the turn and just pivoted on the extension. Does anyone have an opinion on this theory? I know the HG website says it only decreases the turn radius by a small amount but could that "small amount" be enough to pivot a bike?

If the are long enough and stout enough ( not practical) they could keep the bike erect with only a couple inches of drop.

If that ridder thinks you dropped your bike in a turn cause of floorboards I wouldn't ride too close to him/her.
