Default Floorboard extenders and brake pedal

What if anything do u guys use to align your rear brake pedal once u extend your floor boards. Seems it would be smoother action if I could move the pedal too.

Pedal still feels in a natural position after pushing out the boards.

Never thought this was much of a problem.....I actually think it is a little more comfortable. FT

My 07 anyway - Because the rear brake pedal is bolted on a pin thats connected to the frame & then activates the brake master cylinder via a push rod, you just cant move the pedal outward. Im guessing, someone has a pedal thats bent outward to accommmodate extended floor boards... but I havent seen it.

Personally I prefer my pedals position to be inward from where my foot normally rests.

I just took the 1" extensions off when I powdercoated my brake pedal and foorboards. Just really looked wrong with the lowers and I can't really tell any difference???? Anybody want them??

I left the brake pedal in OEM position on both the Heritage and the Ultra after installing the floorboard extenders.... didn't notice any need to move the brake pedal.
Actually had more room that way.

It is not a problem at all, it's still comfortable.

I agree with what was said here: Install the 1" extensions and ride!

I installed the Soos Kit 1" extensions and it made a HUGE difference in rider comfort.
