Default Brake and shift levers: EZ, Softbrake or Kuryakyn??

Just wondering what everyone's opinions are on the different extended brake and shift levers out there. I don't have long legs or big feet. I just wanna get the brake pedal a little further away from my highway pegs and a little more rear floorboard room on the left side. I'm looking at the:

EZ Brake set
Softbrake set
Kuryakyn extended girder set

Any opinions on these???

Went with the KURYAKYN extended shift and brake levers couple years back, best move i made. NO regrets, the brake pedal is forward and down a bit. Brake lever even comes with grease nipple. Very nice, and reasonably priced.

On the shift side I removed the heal shifter lever, than rotated the toe shifter lever up away from the floor board. I have plenty of room now. My Bub 7 exhaust came with a 3/4" spacer for the running board on the right side that gave me more room on that side.
I have been looking at the Pingel and 50's Boy board extentions for more room.

I'm happy with the softbrake setup. To each their own.

I went with the Softbrake option. I don't think its actually any longer than stock but is rotated and works great for me.

I love my E-Z Brake. I had to get it direct from All Parts Cycle, Kuryakyn doesn sell one for the 09's yet. It puts the pedal in a more natural position for me.

Can anyone with any of the three post up some pics from the side. Especially of the brake pedal. I think I am going with the Softbrake shift levers because you can choose the length over stock that you want. Just unsure about the brake pedal. I'm not exactly tall and don't want to put it too far out of reach.
