Hi, I just fitted a set from HarleyGoodies - great piece of kit and very well made. Can't see how they would do what your dealer said. I agree with MasterBlaster -BS

I've been using the Kury extenders for a couple of years on two different bikes and have not seen any weakness at all. From time to time on a long ride, I will stand up on my footboards for a few seconds to give my backside a bit of a rest and have not seen any flexing or bending - and I weigh somewhat north of 250lbs...

I put Harley Goodies extenders on my last bike and I will be putting them on my new bike.

I'm a 300 lb. gorrilla and I just rest my size 12's on um.
You know by gorilla standards, you are a bit on the small side.


I know I'm smallish....I wasn't breast feed long enough.

Thanks for everyones response. The extenders I have came from Soos. The wife and I think they are great. I too feel that what the dealer is saying is BS, after all I only weigh about 180, but wanted to see what all of you thought. Thanks again

I'm closer, gotcha by about 50 lbs, no problem with mine, plus .... I have the Soos model. Quick background, I'mnot a degreed engineer, but I do manage an engineering department and work with these guys all the time. I was worried when I ordered them that there would be a lot of stress on the bolt because the old lady steps on the board to throw her leg over. Because of the design of the Soos, I see no difference in the leverage because adding the spacer against the frame with the oval piece below pretty much made it structurally the same as stock. So, I say tell your dealer to go pound sand.

Think I have to call BS on this one. Get a new dealer.

There has never been an issue with anything breaking as a result of the Harley goodies extensions. Dealer mechanic on speed maybe.
