I installed the floorboard extensions on my '09 SE Ultra.  I'll see if I can figure out how to post more than one photo.  As you will see from the photos, they move the floorboards outward by 1".  If you are like me, I was riding with my foot barely on the outer edge of the floorboard.  This moves the boards out where you would like them to be and now you can keep your foot on the board.  The next benefit on the 09 is that due to the position of the rear exhaust, this moves the rider's heel away from the pipe.  I already melted my ski pants and boot heel on my pipe in the first week of ownership.  Luckily, I was able to clean it off and with the floorboards moved, I should no longer be in the danger zone for recurrence.  Third, they give you a little more room to clean your bike and they look nice this way.  Take a look at where your boards are now, and then look at the photos.  Anyway, I got them from www.harleygoodies.com/hdf and without going into the details here, let's just say that they have the best customer service I have ever experienced anywhere in my life.  They offer a price discount if you register or are already a member of hdforums.com.   Here's a pic of the right floorboard.

Here's a pic of the left floorboard.

[1abastarsmda]

Here's a photo underneath the board.  The spacers are chrome and simply extend the length of the board mounts.  Unless you are bent down and focusing your attention on looking for these, I doubt that you would ever notice it's not all one mount bracket.  One thing I will mention however is that even though this is just 4 total bolts out and 4 total bolts back in, the front bolt on each side can be a real pain.  The oil cooler is in the way of anything but a partial turn of the bolt and the bolt head being on the inner side of the frame, you can't really see what you are doing and it's a lot of fidgeting to get the wrench in the hole for each little turn.  Another thing that I learned was that these bolts are very difficult to break loose and you don't have room to put a pipe on the end of your allen wrench or anything like that.  What I did was set the allen wrench in the bolt head aiming downward and at a slight angle toward me.  Then I used my foot to push on the allen wrench to break these free.  Once I figured that out, I broke all 4 bolts free in seconds.

Looks so much better than the stack of washers on my bike.  Thanks for the link.  Great job!

thanks 1abastarsmda

Just ordered mine!

 

[1abastarsmda]

I had them on my last bike and I knew they were a bit of a pain to put on, but still one of the first things that I had to get for this bike.

[REGGAB]

Finished installing some take-offs from the SEUC onto the FLHR this afternoon.  Since the FLHR still has the stock headers, I figured I'd climb up in the attic and get the heat shields from the stock headers that were on the SEUC, since the forward cylinder exhaust header heat shield runs full length with no gap by the cam chest cover.  Switched out the heat shields.  Now I have just enough room to slide a piece of paper between the right side rider rear footboard support and the heat shield.  A set of these in black is enroute, and a set in chrome is enroute to Rod's Performance.

Again, thanks for the hook up!   

[guppytrash]

Looks good!  1" seems like a big spacer but I noticed the same thing you described about my feet hanging on the edge of the board. 
Is there a nut on the backside of the frame or do the bolts just thread into the frame?
Thanks for the post

It is hex head cap screws thru clearance holes in the frame...

edited to say:  thru 2007....  don't know about 2008 or 2009.

09's are different.

 

[REGGAB]

These will be a welcome addition to both of my bikes.  Can't wait to get them.   

[sadunbar]

09's are different.

 

How are the 09's attached?   

[1abastarsmda]

Front arm of each board bracket has an allen head bolt that comes from the inner side of the frame outward.  The bolt slides through the hole in the frame and threads into the board bracket arm.  The rear arm of the bracket just has a hole to push the bolt through and screws into the frame.  These are head on and easier to get to.  On the left side of the bike, the rear arm bolt also goes through the kickstand mount.  I jacked the bike up at that point, as I was unsure if the kickstand would give out with that bolt out, however I found that the other 2 bolts for the kickstand keep it in place and this is not a concern.

[Boatman]

Nice writeup for the 09's.  It's amazing that moving the boards out 1" is much more natural feeling on the bike.

Anyone with an 08 or older with the older frame.  To get the allen bolts out, I cut about 1" off a 3/8" allen wrench and then used a 3/8" gearwrench to remove the allen bolts.

As I said above, what I did was set the allen wrench in the bolt head aiming downward and at a slight angle toward me.  Then I used my foot to push on the allen wrench to break these free.  Once I figured that out, I broke all 4 bolts free in seconds.  On the left side of the bike, I actually had to set up the allen wrench and sit on the floor to be able to get my foot under the bike where it needed to be to break these bolts free.  It was a really quick and easy way to do this.  It took a while before I figured it out, after trying all kinds of other methods that did not work.

Henry, definitely getting them loose the 1st time is rough.  I had the primary cover off so many times with my starter issue that it became easy.

I bought the 1 1/4" spacers from www.pingelonline.com/harley_davidson_acc.htm     .   (Ordered from Mark at M&M Cycles at a discount).

They also have 1" spacers for the passenger boards for our bikes.  Will get those when the 9 year old daughter gets older/bigger.

Just ordered mine!

 

Here I am quoting myself.

Ordered these extensions on Sunday, got home today (Wednesday) and they were in the mail box.
Everything I do takes twice as long as a real mechanic.
Started at 7:00pm done at 7:30pm. Easy as pie. 
A great product, was exactly as picture and promised.
Set out the floorboards an inch.
MikeR, your going to need these with that D&D.

Before extensions I couldn't get a sheet of paper between the floorboard and the pipe.
Now, plenty of room.
See below picture!

Very Nice, Chip.  I will venture to say it will take me quite a bit longer to get mine installed on the FLHR, since the hex bolts are inboard behind wiring, but it'll get done.  hope they get here soon.  Thump ought to be easy, since the engine is out of the frame.

Also Henry I had the luxury of the fact that the bike was only two months old and the bolts were easily removed.
After a few years I would imagine they are much harder to remove!

Yessir, that's gonna be a factor as well.  It'll be fun, I'm sure of that.   

[REGGAB]

Received my floorboard extenders today.  Here's a picture of the kit that will go on Thumper.

[REGGAB]

Here's a picture of the kit that just went on the FLHR.

[REGGAB]

Started by pulling out the die grinder and fashioning this tool to get the 3/8" hex bolts out.

[REGGAB]

Hardhead that I am, I had to prove to myself that I could get the front two out without the special tool.

[SBB]

Here's a picture of the kit that just went on the FLHR.

All I can say is get "er" done!

At least on the FLHR.

Wasn't there some advice about spraying something on the bolt to shrink it enough to loosen it?

 

[sadunbar]

A short straight piece of hex stock and one of these fancy gear wrenches from Craftsman works best!   Only have to get that hex into the capscrew once! 

[REGGAB]

Right rear was a different story.  Came out easy though.  Used a cheater.  No penetrant needed.  Whoever owned this thing before me took care of it.  I elected to use the J&S jack, but that proved to be a mistake during the install on the right side.......

[REGGAB]

Things went together easy enough, except I couldn't get a full swing on the right rear.  Ended up switching to the left to get it done, since the weight was off the jiffy stand, lowering the bike, and tightening the right side.

[REGGAB]

Much mo'betta room now.

Now Henry, I assume you have also cleaned and waxed all those areas that were difficult to reach while the floor boards were on?
You have set a high standard, , , don't let me down!

 

[REGGAB]

Other side.  Really like this kit.

[REGGAB]

Simple enough.

The big spacer

[REGGAB]

View from the rear.  Definitely wider.  Need to take her out and get into some twisties and see if I can get her to scrape sooner.  Hopefully not.  I'll know tomorrow.

I wish everything we did to these bikes was this simple!

 

[REGGAB]

Not direct advice, but an allusion thereto.    I'm not gonna spray WD-40 unless I have to.  It's good stuff, but it collects dirt if you don't get it all off..............and I'm still trying to get this bike up to snuff.  All three big bolts popped loud when I broke TQ, but I've had 'em worse doing this type stuff.  

[REGGAB]

I have the stock, Scott.......and the wrenches, but didn't want to risk breaking a wrench while trying to break torque.  You know how tight those things are.  Much easier to sacrifice a hex tool, since I have a bunch of 'em.

[REGGAB]

Yep, I do the same Henry.  Use the modified allen wrench to break them loose, then use the allen stub and gear wrench to turn them out!  

[REGGAB]

Looks good Henry!

That would be nice, but then again, I actually enjoy when these things are a PITA.  Challenging.

Ever notice how d00d just pokes his head in whatever thread is receiving activity.............just to make sure no one is smoking crack in here on his watch........then pops right back out?  That's efficiency.

I want his bike..........heck it never gets ridden, since he's always sittin' in front of his 'puter playin' blog police..........and it can be painted a decent color.

[REGGAB]

Ordered the extentions from HarleyGoodies about 2 weeks ago, got them on Friday and put them on last night. Great service, quality and value. It took me about an hour to do both sides. What a difference in comfort, well worth the price.     

They do make great stuff.  I have a set on both of my bikes and now wonder how I ever did without them.  Not only are the bikes more comfortable, but lean clearance seems to be unaffected, and they make cleanup so much easier with all the space between the floorboards and the primary/cam chest/exhaust.

Do these relocations move the boards just outwards or also forwards ?

[LarryB]

Just Out

[Highjagger]

Then i have to wait until the forward-relocator will be available . Hmmmmmm 

[1abastarsmda]

I just tell any passengers that they are easier to replace than parts on the bike.  I haven't tried those on the rear, so I really can't comment on them.  Something I thought about though was that if someone made a way to tilt those rear floorboards back a little, I would think that would make for more comfort for a passenger than anything...but then again, I've never ridden on the back, so I don't think I'm offering much of an answer here.

[LarryB]

Can't help either, I never have a passenger. strictly solo

[Highjagger]

Still no news ?
Only the harley goodies outwards mover for the 2009ers SEs?
No forward mover yet ?
Hmm ...

[RickC]

You need to check out the floorboard extensions available from soos. See his post on this forum at http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=33919.0.

He has extensions available for both rider and passenger floorboards. I had them on my '07 and they were perfect. However, his extensions only move the floorboards out not forward.

[Highjagger]

like the harley-goodies-ones , but only in black , thxs .
I am still searching forward and outwards mover like the küryakyns http://www.kuryakyn.com/index.cfm/go/Home.ProductDetail/catID/10/scID/16/IMID/83 ( but this ones will not fit , i was told , wonder why when i look at them )

They won't fit for the same reason that they have ones for the 09's only.  They are different in 09.  I can see that they could be made.  Someone would have to make an adapter that comes out 1/2", then forward 1", and then out 1/2" again.  I wish I knew how to make something like that...I have it visualized exactly how it would have to be done and fit to make it work.  As of now, I haven't seen anyone making such an item.  Or of course, they could make the entire bracket, not just the adaptor, to do it.  I think that once someone like http://www.wildbillscycles.com/brackets.html makes one to move forward the 09's, you may be able to use one of their brackets with the www.harleygoodies.com adaptors and function to move them out and forward.  Look at it this way, it's hard to even find an exhaust for the 09's yet.  It doesn't surprise me at all that some of these other things have not hit the market yet.

[Highjagger]

The wildbillys don`t work .They answered .
But the Küryakyns change the upper mount , what is the problem here with the 09ers ?.
Changing the lower mounts is clear , very difficult on the left side because of the side-stand .

I'm not sure what you are talking about.  There is a front and rear mount, no upper and lower.  I knew that Wild Bills didn't have them for 09.  That was only for a reference if they come out with them at a later date.  I haven't taken an intimate look at the 08's, but I would assume if there is a new part just for 09, there must be a difference.  On the left side, the kickstand didn't end up being a problem at all for the install.  I remember when I first looked at the left side, I thought I was going to have to remove the kickstand, but you do not have to do that and taking the bolt out did not cause any problem with it.  I don't know anything about the European models and as we have seen, not everything is the same in the US.  Maybe yours are different.  The difficult bolts to get to were the front ones, because the heads are on the inside of the frame and there's no room to work with them because the oil cooler is right there.

I disassembled to oil cooler to get mine on, way to ez.

That certainly would have made it tremendously easier, but nobody will ever accuse me of doing things the easy way.  I wasn't sure what was involved with taking the oil cooler off, so I just avoided it.

[LarryB]

It has three nuts on the bottom and the cooler slides right off, I did not remove the lines from it, just moved it out of the way.
Shoot, I got to go to work.

I mean that the küryakyn change the joints ( where the brackets meet the board to swap them ) - upper mount .
all the others modifie the lower mount ( where the brackets meet the frame )

Since this is my first bike with foot boards, I was wondering if I was stuck with only half of my foot resting on them or what. I kept thinking this isn't much better than the pegs I had on my Springer.  Thanks to this site, I have a fix!!!  Mine are on the way.  I am sure this will be all I will need.  Thanks again for the leg work.  And since I had my right side footboard off to do the head pipe swap this should be easy?

Who told you that the Kuryakyn's won't work?  I just looked at them just now.  It says they fit up to 09.  I did notice on the harleygoodies site that they had a separate listing for standard versus Screamin Eagle.  Now that I'm thinking about it, when I got my kit from HarleyGoodies, there was a note somewhere...I think it was something like...ignore what the instructions say and use these different size bolts that came with this kit.  Again, if I am remembering correctly, it may just be the length of the bolts that go through the frame were a different size for 2 of the bolts versus the standard model Harley.  BUT, if you look at the pictures on www.harleygoodies.com/hdf, the up to 2008 kit looks entirely different than the 09 kit.  In 09, all 4 adaptors are threaded sleeves that are made to approximate the shape of the brackets.  Up to 08, you have the choice of the round or square spacer for the one bracket on the right side (and it's not threaded) and for the left side there is one adaptor that has about 6 holes in it, to match the OEM bracket.  Whether you can substitute the non-threaded different type adaptors for the threaded sleeves is beyond me.  Also, notice that the earlier models were a 5 bolt setup, not 4 bolts.  I remember when I put a set of these on my 07 Road King.  It was the other setup...different than the 09 SE.  From what I see in the difference in kits, I have to question Kuryakyn even showing their kits fitting any 09 models.  You would have to talk to them to find out if their kit will work as a substitute.

Assuming that the Kuryakyn kit will connect properly on the floorboard end of the bracket to move them forward, then you could use the Kuryakyn kit to move the boards forward, and use the HarleyGoodies kit to move them outward.  So you may have to buy both kits...on is about $94 and the other kit is about $47.  Again, you need to look at the bracket end where it attaches to the floorboards on an 08 and 09 and see if the attach the same way.  If they do, you just have to spend an extra $47 to have the best of both worlds.  I would try the Kuryakyn kit first and see if the entire kit works.  If the part that mounts to the frame doesn't work, then you know you have to get the HarleyGoodies kit also, to complete the installation.  I hope you followed all of that.  I think I made some sense.

And if you decide that the the typical extension kit of 3/4" isn't enough you can "roll your own" by getting the spacers and necessary Allen cap screws at McMaster-Carr.

I use 2" spacers on the right and 3/4" on the left side, with stainless cap screws

I needed the extra room because of the tear drop air cleaner. This air cleaner uses a 1" spacer to install it.

I decided against doing all the chrome on my engine on this bike.  After seeing the photo of yours, now I want to do it again.  I did it on my Road King and it sure does look nice.

[Highjagger]

I will try to ask directly at küryakyn , i guess the same like you , they should fit .

[1abastarsmda]

No, my guess is that they WILL NOT fit, at least not as they come from Kuryakyn.  It may be as simple as the length of the bolts being wrong, but as it comes from them, I DO NOT think that they will tell you yes.  I'm talking about the part that mounts to the frame to move them outward.  As far as the part moving them forward, I don't have a clue if the mount to the floorboard is the same or not.

I took a look at the installation instructions for the Kuryakyn floorboard extensions (available as a link from the product page at http://www.kuryakyn.com/index.cfm/go/Home.ProductDetail/catID/10/scID/16/IMID/83 or directly at http://www.kuryakyn.com/documents/installation/4588-22HD-0708.pdf).

Yes, these will work on '09 touring models because...

The Kuryakyn floorboard extensions to not fit between the frame and the floorboard support arms. Rather, they fit between the floorboard support arm and the floorboard itself... which has not changed.

If you look closely at the illustrations in the Kuryakyn kit, this all becomes clear.

[Highjagger]

Yeah , That is the difference i wanted to explain :
 Kuryakyn changes the mount where the arm meets the board and all the others change the mount where the arm meets the frame .
Puuuuuh , you got it , very difficult for me , i thought that i was speeking chinese for you all .

I just looked at those installation instructions and they do look like they will fit.  I did not notice that theirs mount directly at the floorboard end of things only.  If that's the same mount on the 09's, then you have located your solution.  I'm sure quite a few people will benefit from this.  I'm glad you were persistent, even after I was being a pessimist.

Having installed a set of Harley Goodies' Floorboard Extenders on both of my baggers, I am proud to say I love them.  Very good stuff, and a very welcome mod to both of my machines.  I'll be doing the same to the passenger floorboards as well........if for no other reason, they make cleaning the bike easier.     Seriously, they do let you get your hands into places you otherwise couldn't.......or ended up shredding them in the process, by the main thing is they are so much more comfortable than stock.

[RickC]

Well.... now that you mention it...

My college degree is in Ancient Greek... no... seriously...

They do have a word for everything. For instance, for the most common uses of the English word "love", the Greeks had at least three separate words. The average English-speaking person has a vocabulary of under 2000 words. The average Greek-speaking person at the time of Christ had a vocabulary of some 6500 words.

So, when Homer used the word "rhododactylos", it is translated into English as "dawn". What you lose is that fact that the Greek literally translates "rosy-fingered" describing the rays of the morning sun breaking across the sky from behind the horizon.

Of course, it could also describe the hand of a teenage boy on a lonely Friday night...

I don't know why I didn't think about it before.  I didn't see any reason to do the passenger boards and never thought about how that will make cleaning the left side case so much easier.  Anything that makes cleaning the bike easier is a good thing.  Does anyone have pics of both sides with the passenger boards moved outward?  I'd like to see what they look like.

Hi!
I don't have pictures, but if memory serves correctly, a couple years ago Terry (Midnight Rider) had some custom spacers made that moved his pax floorboards out like 5/8" or something like that.  Looked like an inverted tear drop.  Purpose was to establish proper clearance between his Rinehart headers and Kury pax floorboard transformers (again...working from memory, so that might be inaccurate).  Perhaps Gary (Fired00d) knows where Terry (Midnight Rider) posted those pictures, or you could send a PM to Terry (Midnight Rider) and ask him.  Either way, I'm certain Gary (Fired00d) or Terry (Mignight Rider) can help you out, so you can see the difference made by moving the pax floorboards out.

That's it.  I'm glad to see my memory is somewhat intact.......even for two year old material.  Looks like that solution added enough space to get a hand comfortably between the pax floorboard and the derby cover.

I believe this is the thread Henry is talking about - Kuryakyn Passenger Pegs with the spacers.

Henry if this isn't the one you were thinking about let me know and I'll search a little deeper.

But his are black powder coat.  That wouldn't look too good at the based of chrome brackets.
