That's what I have for my size 14's but I would not go past +2 as it more than clears the boards.

How was the install. I had a quick look at mine and it looks like it could be a PITA getting the inside key out. Any suggestions to make the changeout easier?

I found that by taking the floorboard bracket completely off (only three Allen bolts), it was very easy to get the pin out.

silly question. What's the difference between the HD extended brake lever and the soft brake ?. Don't get me wrong, it looks great in the pic's. But HD ones are cheaper. By the way I feel it's a bit cramping braking for me as well.

For me, the most significant difference is that the Softbrake pedal is substantially lower (less angle) and allows me to brake by lifting my toe to engage the pedal,rather than my entire foot. My heel stays on the floorboard. One of the best mods I've done to my 2014 Ultra Limited.

Would you mind telling me the part number you bought? That looks perfect for me. Thanks.
