I put the Harley Goodies 1" on both the passenger and rider boards. Much more comfortable to get my legs away from the tank, although at 6-2 I have no reach problems. My passengers also liked the extra room in back. She also thought having that extra room to move away from bike was a plus. No issues with the brake pedal or shifter.

I really haven't noticed that it scrapes any quicker than before I installed them. Of course I am not riding the Ultra like my old sport bikes but do scrape occasionally on really tight twisties or on tight u turns or when practicing my ride like a pro skills . I am sure I am not good enough to notice a 1 degree change in lean angle the 1" makes.

These are a great mod, pulls your legs out just enough. I did find that I had to extend the shifter to make it easier to shift. Brake seems to be fine. I've never scraped through the twisties.

I have a torn meniscus in my right knee. I had a lot of pain when riding. After installing the extenders, my knee actually feels better even when not riding. I think riding was just aggravating it before and the extenders took care of that.

I installed the extentions about 3 months ago and like them a lot. I was surprised how much more comfortable it makes the ride.

I have installed a set on my ultra limited, and for sure, they add more comfort. Except the quality of the screws is not that high. It starts showing some corrosion just after a month; I have to fill up the head with grease to keep them from getting worse.
I am not sure if one of them will be snapped, as I like to stand on the floorboard to adjust my seat position while riding. Hope not!
