engine burning my ankle
Hey i just bought the EG Ultra Limited and love it
BUT my right ankle is getting burned
yea I know move my foot farther away from the engine but thats not a real good solution since my feet are wide and the floorboard isn't.
Any thoughts ?

First things first...Welcome to the forum !
Now would be a good time for you to get acquainted with the "search" feature here ....

You'll find that the heat is a result of the catalytic converter located on the right side of your new Glide... (some MOCO engineer got paid a lot of money to design that wonderful feature)
The search feature will lead you to many many possible solutions....

Harley Goodies floorboard extensions, synthetic oil (lots of choices such as Mobil 1 or Amsoil, etc), and dump the cat. SJ Ron

As for the heat, I have a set of hwy pegs and I have them placed so that the back of my heel is on the floor board and the ball of my foot is on the peg. very comfortable, quick off the peg to the brake and very little engine heat on my leg.
