Default Edge Cut Billet Style Rear Brake Lever

Is anyone familiar with the “Edge Cut Billet Style Rear Brake Lever in the below link?
http://www.harley-davidson.com/store/edge-cut-rear-brake-lever
I was at the Harley dealership yesterday getting some recall work done on my 2014 Street Glide. While at the service counter, another bike had the full set of Edge levers and floorboards on. VERY NICE looking. It appeared as though his Edge brake lever was ether longer or the angle of it allowed it to lay down slightly more than the stock.
Is anyone familiar with the Edge brake lever and could you confirm its overall length or angle compared to the stock? If not, is there an extended version of the Edge brake lever?
I hate the stock because it is not adjustable to lay down a bit more. Currently with the stock, I have to arch my ankle/toes very high, pivoting the heel on the floorboard, to get my foot on the pedal.

I have the slotted black Sofbrake pedal which goes well with the Burst collecion stuff. It's of better quality and made in the US. Also, you can get it in pretty much any length you want. Mine is +2 inches and lays down more - infinitely more comfortable than stock. It's less money than the Moco part. Here's mine -

JP carries them. Here's just an example, if not the one you need -
http://www.jpcycles.com/product/505-166

But I ordered mine by phone right from the source -
http://www.softbrake.com/

The website was confusing (and now under reconstruction) so I spoke with the owner - Rick I believe. Very knowledgeable. I ordered the matching extended shift lever as well. Note the Burst shift peg.

Thanks for the link to the Softbrake extended lever. I had already bought (not installed yet) the H-D extended lever but it's only +1" and as mentioned will not change the sucky lever angle.

So I ordered up the +2" lever in chrome from J&P and will be returning the H-D lever.

BTW the shift peg shown in your pic is of the Edge Cut, not Burst, variety (had one on my Fat Bob). The Burst shift peg looks like this:

You'll be very happy with the Softbrake quality. While I actually prefer the looks of the HD pedal because of the silver highlight, I was willing to sacrifice some aesthetics for much improved functionality and quality. And in the end, I think I even prefer the more subdued look of the all black Softbrake pedal.

And you're right - I keep confusing Burst with Edge cut.
