Thanks. I need to look and see what I've got on there now, I know the long arm linkage that goes from the front shift arm back to the transmission is an HD slotted type but I think the shift arm itself is the stock arm....so, good idea to replace that with a slotted.

EZ Brake was the first mod I made to our Ultra. The stock Harley "stomp" pedal should have been redesigned decades ago. I truly believe the design of the stock pedal is a safety hazard, causing many rear wheel skids. A properly designed rear brake pedal should allow you to easily modulate the pressure on the brake pedal, by leaving the heel of your foot on the floorboard.
Thanks,

I just added the Kury pedal to mine a couple days ago and got to test it out on a 300 mile run yesterday. Not much difference in length. It just touches the air vent on my Ultra Limited when the vent is open. So it can not be any longer. The big difference is the angle. Much flatter. I can now have my heal on the board and push on the brake. Before I had to list my whole size 14 boot up and put it on the brake. I have much more control now. One tip to installing is to take the three bolts holding the whole bracket out and lower that down just enough to get the cotter key out. Otherwise that would be a bear! I use blue locktite when reinstalling the bolts.

A few years ago I put the floor board extensions on and set the floor boards to the lowest posistion. The thing that I don't like is when I need to use the rear brake I have to pick my whole foot up off the floor board to step on the pedal. I am a tall guy who happens to also where size 13 boots. Does anybody know of a manufacturer that makes a brake pedal that sits lower to the floor board. Actually rotating it towards the front of the bike would make it lower.
