I bought the harleygoodies extenders (pulls boards 1" away from bike) for my softail, and loved the comfort! However i did scrape rather easily, and it built up sort of a phobia of hitting turns.

Now i am hesitant to extend my floorboards on my 14 RK, but stil hate that my foot is half-off the board at all times

Can anyone relate? Any advice?

 

Mine are extended and no concerns.

 

Not sure if you have the same capabilities on the RK, I would assume you do but, on my Ultra I could also raise the front of my floor board after extending them. Basically making me have to REALLY lean to scrape.

 

I did the 3/4" Kuryakyn kit along with the H-D footboard kit that moves the boards forward 1 inch. This was with the Ultra Classic lowers. Much improvement in comfort (I am 6'3"). I don't ride aggressive enough to scrape the boards.

 

Oops I mean

Never had an issue.

 

I bought the 3/4" extenders for my glide from here. http://sooskits.com

They made the ride a lot more comfortable. I do tend to scrape the floorboards a lot, but I just push them back down. Of course, that probably has more to do with my riding a Buell for years and less to do with the extensions.

 

I could not see an improved comfort by raising them at all ... if anything, i need them forward and out. I am 6"2 and more leg room is always better than less, for me

 

That option was taken away in 2009 with the redesigned frame which made the footboard brackets fixed.

 

 

I put the 3/4" Kury version on the Ultra. Much more comfortable and worth the few times I've scraped since installing. I came from a Heritage where I always had to think about scraping boards; I hardly give it a thought with this new bike even w/ extenders. Biggest issue with them was removing that rear bolt on the footboards was a giant PITA. Hint: get an Allen driver set for your socket wrench. Makes life much easier.
