Here's another Bikernet.com world's fastest tech stories. Let's hit it, and if you're lucky we'll back it up in the next couple of weeks with a full-blown installation.

Here are the benefits from the boss: Better leg and foot posture
Less knee and hip fatigue
Less banging shins when backing up or creeping at lights
More room between the rider footboard and passenger footboard: preventing banging calves and boots.
Gets heel shifter off the board so it's easier to position your boot during take-off.

The price is $139.99

They're made out of cast steel and only in powder coated black, no other finish options. They don't mess with the crash bars, but fairing lowers need to be notched slightly.

"They basically move the boards forward 2 inches," Wild Bill told me. We started to discuss brake levers, shifters and options like my spacers that push my right board outward to clear my new D&D exhaust. "Spacers are not a problem," Bill said and filled me in on all the options:

Harley makes a kit, but it only pushes the boards forward ¾ inch. These puppies work with any dresser from '86 to now, but '86 to '97 bike will put the brake pedal in the center of the board. "Riders generally want an extended brake arm for those years," Bill said. As of 2003 or 2004 Harley extended their brake arm about 1.5 inches. Aftermarket modified arms are available from KuryAkyn for 2 3/8 inches, or Bubba for 2 ¼ inches or even Soft Brake for 1 ¾ inches. This group also builds extended shifters, but they're not needed in most cases. It's a personal choice.

The Easy Brake is the only aftermarket part that won't work with this system. That's all you're gonna get outta us until we install a set. Here are the instructions:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Step #1: Remove your footboards with Allen wrench and 7/16 end wrench

Step #2: Remove your existing brackets one at a time and replace with new corresponding bracket re-using the original hardware (Do not tighten yet, leave loose). (Remove one bracket then install one bracket, this keeps the hardware easy to relocate in its original position).

Step #3: Install any extended brake and shifter levers at this time. (Sold separately from other vendors)

Step #4: install footboards onto new brackets and loosely attach with original hardware.

Step #5: Once the footboards are installed, tighten the footboard mounting bolts first, then tighten the bracket to frame mounting bolts.

Sit and enjoy the extra foot room and more ergonomic leg position. As with any modifications to your bike, use caution until you are comfortable with the new setup! Now, if you are pleased with the new riding position, please show them off to your friends!

ULTRA MODELS – If you are installing these brackets on an ultra classic model with fairing lowers on the engine guard or crash bar, you will either have to modify the fairing lower by carefully trimming the plastic to clear the front brackets or remove the fairing lowers entirely. If you do not feel confident you may wish to consult a professional shop for installation.

Tip – We prefer “Soft brake” for the extended brake, and either “KuryAkyn” or “Bubba’s Brakes” for the shift lever. At least a 2-inch extension on both, but longer is also nice. On newer models it may not be necessary to replace the stock brake or shifter levers as they are a nice fit with the extension.

Tip- Want Chrome? Brown’s plating Service in Kentucky does extremely nice work with their polishing and plating, and they have a 10-day turn around time in most cases.
