Extended Brake Lever - Walter's Workshop?

Extended Brake Lever - Walter's Workshop?
I'm 6'6" with a 36" inseam. I've made changes to my Road King to increase room and comfort (Tallboy seat, Road King High Handlebar). I recently purchased a Walter's Workshop extended shift lever, and I'm looking at their extended brake lever as well. Does anyone have experience with that particular setup, or have a recommendation as far as another product (Kuryakyn, Softbrake, EZ Brake, etc.)? I don't mind spending $150 +/-, but I want to get it right the first time. I'm looking for maximum room at the front of the floorboard, and something that will minimize how far I have to lift my foot to brake.

I'm only 6'5" with a 35" inseam, but the combination of hammock seat and floorboard relocators has worked well for me. I used the kuryakin ( sp?) ones that move the boards up an inch and out an inch. I used the Walters Workshop +2 front shift lever with a stock rear lever to make room for the big feet.......
I tried the kuryakyn extended brake lever and didn't like it. it barely moved the lever forward at all but it did move it down quite a bit so I couldn't get my foot under the lever any more. If you find something better please post it up here so I can try it.

really? that's weird, because the Kuryakyn EZ-Brake lever I got for my '08 Fatboy moved the brake pad almost 2" forward and down about 1 1/2". I bought it 2 1/2 yrs ago... but, evidently, Kuryakyn doesn't carry that model anymore. so, when I got my RKC, I went with Softbrake for their 2 " longer shift lever and brake lever.... plenty of room now.
