Default Extended brake pedal on an FLHR

I bought an extended brake pedal for my bike from Kuryakyn and it is actually higher and less forward than the one on the bike. I guess I already have an extended pedal. I'll have to sell this one.

Does anybody make a really extended brake pedal that sits lower? I need one that is one inch lower and at least an inch more forward than the extended version. There is plenty of room to allow for this in front of the floorboard. I need to stop picking up my leg to hit the brake--sucks. Maybe a fabricator could add a piece of metal for length and angle it downward? I am planning to investigate the Tallboy seat too. Does anybody make a seat that compares to the HD Tallboy--back and up a bit?

Im not a big Kuryakyn fan but I used their floorboard relocaters (1" out and 1" forward for 69.95) and their Extended Brake and its lower and still in front of my floorboard with the floorboard 1" forward (brake pedel almost positioned flat - horizontal)

MAybe they make them differently for newer bikes? All I know is the one they offer is the same as what's on my bike. They are both slightly in front of the floorboard, but the Kuryakyn pedal is higher . Neither give me what I need.

thanks for the pictures. It looks like yours is about the same, but that pedal looks different than mine from Kuryakyn. I'll get a picture on here for comparison later. Thanks

I bought the Kuryakyn. After it was put on, I lifted my leg to hit the back brake and it wasn't there. It was way lower. It didn't look like it would make much difference when I held it up to the bike, but once it was installed it made a big difference. I'm 6'5" and ride a EGC

This is the pedal on my bike. It is almost identical to the Kuryakyn. The bike is an 05 roadking. As soon as I can get the pad off the old pedal, I assume they used red thread tight, I'll put the Kuryakyn on and see the difference. Holding them up together as best I can , they appear the same. All I can figure is that they attach differently. The Kuryakyn 'appears' to be set higher than what I have on the bike.

The one on my bike (in the pictures) is a lot different than your pictures, mine is lower and I think a little ore extended than your pedel
