    Default Not to intrude on other thread about footboard extenders

    Everybody seems to like the DK's footboard extenders, I have never had them on my 2002 road king and never on my 2016 trike, now my 2018 trike I don't have them either. I guess I have never had any trouble with my feet/legs being close to everything, maybe it is me the way I place my feet, not sure. Never had any trouble with heat or exhaust or maybe I don't know, age catching up and memory gone so to speak, LOL

    Ok, my question, when you move footboards out how does that affect your brake pedal and your shift arms, the way it is now on my trike I have to move my foot to the right just a little to shift down or shift up, I don't use the rear shifter to often. With the boards moved out I would have to move my foot even further than I do now, just thinking out loud here since I have never had them and it looks like alot of you do and really liked them.

    All for now Trampas

    I Had the extenders on my 17 Tri-Glide...And loved them...That said had i kept the Tri-Glide i would have added a longer front shifter, So i wouldn't have to move my foot to the right when shifting....I also never used the rear shifter so i would have left it alone..

    I have the DK extenders. I never got used to the heal shifter, so just took it off. Then I move my toe lever out to where the heal lever was, put a spacer on the inside (both HD & Kury make one). Then I added a longer toe peg. Works great for me. I never felt the need for an extended brake pedel.
    It is what it is.

    I have DK foot board extensions on my 2016 Tr-Glide. I really like them. I did the same as graygoat. DK has the longer shift peg.

    Just because the boards are extended does not mean that you cannot still place your feet inboard - you definitely can. It just gives you more 'real estate' in which to move your feet around. I've had extenders on many bikes and would not ride without them. As for the shifter pegs yes I did add longer pegs . . . and I am a huge fan of the rear shift lever providing that it too that it is an extended lever with a longer peg. Works great for upshifting and I can lower the front peg so much that I can't get my toe under it. That way on downshifting I don't have to engage in much movement of my foot at all.

    I'm running the DK extenders, and I didn't do squat to the pegs or the pedal. Took me about a half a day to adapt, just like when you readjust/swap out the bars, get a new seat, or whatever. It's just the "new normal" now to me. Had a hell of a harder time adjusting when I sold the Sporty and bought an ElectraGlide way back when!
    2024 Tri Glide! Only modifications so far - transferred Rider backrest from old 2015 Freewheeler, just added highway pegs!

    I never had them on any bike before the tri-glide. I wish i would have known about them back on my streetglide days. I ve let many people sit on my trike to feel them out and so far everyone has ordered them for their bikes. I always found that the newer touring bikes had the shifter in a little closer to the engine, but moving the footboards out an inch made no differance in the way i shifted it. My 92 heritage didn't feel this way as the shifter was out alittle farther on the older bikes. My opinion ? for what it's worth is HD should put the extenders on from the factory.

    Thanks guys for the replies, have a lot to think about, still winter here, doesn't really feel like it in the high 40's and have hit a few 50's, supposed to get colder by week ends. I did find a shift peg that matches my highway pegs, that is a big plus, found some shift levers from harley that is extended for the rear shift, normal for front, but haven't decided if I just want to get rid of rear shifter, I did on my road king but my 2016 triglide I bought new shift arms, new pegs and and a matching shift linkage arm, wow, quite a bit of money in those parts, not sure I want to go to the extreme on this 2018 or not.

    All for now and thanks for replies Trampas

    I had several different bikes with floorboards over the years from FLH shovelheads up to the ‘06 Electra Glide I bought new and just recently sold and never had any issues with the foot placement on them. I’m not sure what’s different but on the Tri Glide it just wasn’t as comfortable. After I put on the extenders it’s a lot better, feels more natural. It’s a fairly inexpensive mod that I feel is well worth the money.

    I havent added any shifter peg extensions, I can see where they would help but so far it doesn’t seem to be an issue for me not having them on either the toe or heel shifter. The brake pedal still sticks out plenty far over the board but I am considering an extended brake arm.

    When I get on a Trike or a 2 wheel bike that does not have floorboard extensions I cannot believe how cramped up I feel....which is really funny, because I rode for MANY years without them and did not know how much more comfortable it is with them.

    Regarding shift pegs...

    I have the extended ones on my Tri Glide. I do not have the extended shift pegs on my Softail. Both have floorboard extensions. My previous Tri had floorboard extensions, but not the extended shift pegs. My previous Ultra had floorboard extensions, but not the extended shift pegs.

    I've never given a second thought, nor had any issues shifting, on the bikes with floorboard extensions and regular shift pegs.

    The only reason I have the extended shift pegs on my current Tri is because some folks asked about them and I wanted to test them out before we thought about carrying them.

    This LINK is to the Extended Shift Pegs I'm running.

    This LINK is to the regular length Shift Pegs.

    I am thinking about switching my rear shift peg to the regular length. Reason is that every now and then my heel bumps into the extended rear shift peg. It eats up a bit of the extra real estate that floorboard extensions give.

    I never have an issue with the front extended, just the rear.

    I also run the extended brake pedal, which you can see HERE. It is really nice and I like it a lot...much easier to hit it when I need to.

    I reckon everyone has a bit different way they position their feet for comfort, and it will vary person to person.

    Kevin, the pegs in your link will match my freeway pegs that I took off of my softail before I traded it in, no hurry at the moment with winter here, I have bought the freeway peg mounting kit and it sits in a tool drawer until spring, have a winter to decide if I want 2 pegs or one peg or none at all. Been thinking of getting a spacer to elimate the rear shifter like I did on my road king and move the shifter out, I was dumb and didn't take it off the road king, did take some parts off that will work on the triglide but like a idiot I didn't take that off.

    Yeah, Devin (the "D" in DK) does not like the rear shifter. He utilizes the heel shift eliminator at this LINK. Nice thing is it's less than $10.

    I tried it, and certainly like the extra real estate, BUT, I also sometimes use the heel shifter and do not want to give that up.

    Kevin, get an extended shift lever for the rear. Mine is long enough that it sits behind the footboard. I have an extended length peg on it but because the lever is longer it does not take any real estate on the footboard and is very easy to use when upshifting. I know some folks do not like the rear shift lever . . . and I agree in its stock form it sucks. But with an extended lever it works great.

    Got to ask where you got the extended shifter at and does it match the other one or was this a complete set??? I did see on harley that they have one which is extended front and back if I remember right, billet I believe in chrome. Have looked for a extended lever for rear that matches the stock one but have not found it yet, if I went this way I would keep both levers in place with pegs to match my freeway pegs.

    That's a good idea...or I may just go back to the stock rear shift peg....decisions decisions...lol...the bigger one is am I going to go to an M8 this summer! How's that for going off-topic!

    +1 on the rear shift peg. I've had one on my bikes for the last 10+ years and LOVE it. I use the rear peg 99% of the time. It seems that the shifts are smoother and more positive.....at least to me. It rests just a smidgeon above the floorboard so I don't have to raise my heel much. That way I can move my foot even farther back if I need to.........kinda like a rice-rocket position.

    And it saves the spit shine on my boots. ROTFLMAO

    It (H-D part) does not match the stock toe lever , but you can buy the toe lever to match if you want. I didn't - I don't care if they match or not - I'm a cheap bastard.

    I hear you. Mine don't match either but they are close enough that you wouldn't notice unless you were looking specifically. Another thing about using the rear shift lever - it is WAY easier to find neutral using it vs the toe shift lever. I have a friend who removes the rear shift lever and he is constantly working to find neutral . . . and it is not bike specific as it's been a problem on several bikes. Using the rear lever you can finesse the shift down to neutral.
