Ok so I have a bad leg and foot and need to figure out how to move the floorboards outword as well as the break peddle. Is this impossible or is there hope? I ride a 14 CVO Limited. By out I mean right to left not necessarily forward.

Call Rick at (208) 561-5031 - he is a great guy and will be able to take care of your needs. I recently purchased a 1" extended pedal (wide version) along with 3/4" spacer kit to move both the brake pedal and floorboards out. Terrific products.....

Not a CVO Limited but running 1" spacers under the floor board mounting for a 2011 Limited I find I touch down the support brackets under the floor boards frequently during hard cornering. This is not desirable because the floor board brackets are a hard point and can lift a wheel off the road. Just thought I'd mention the potential issue. Considering taking the spacers out so floor board touches first but will miss the leg room. I'll take a look at the link above and see if its mounted differently.

I will post a before pic and after so you can see what you think. There are no pictures on his site of a Limited with this done.

I have the Baker Custom, Inc 3/4" spacers on mine and will drag the outer edge of the floor board but have never hit the floorboard mount. I also corner pretty hard but would almost be low siding the bike to hit the mount. Is your bike lowered?

Here is what the new pedal and extenders look like when installed. I took it out yesterday and did not hit when cornering.

Niiiiiice!!!

Very nice! Maybe it is the picture but how did you get the brake pedal lowered. I was told by the dealer it was not splined so it wasn't adjustable.

I ordered a new brake pedal from softbrake.com. I think the guys name is Rick who owns the place. He makes a lot of custom parts to extend the floor boards and brake and shift levers. if you get the new brake lever you have to put the floor board extenders on as well. so all in all I moved the floor boars out 1 inch and moved the brake pedal foreword 2 inches and down 1 inch. I have a bad ankle and was unable to hit the brake with out moving my leg a lot.

That brake pedal looks really close to the floorboard. Should be easy to reach. I went with the hd extended brake lever. That works well too. Not as low as yours tho.

Yzernie do you have different turn signals on your bike then stock? It looks like you put led in.

TNCarters · « **Reply #13 on:** April 24, 2014, 12:33:55 PM »

Yzernie, I never got back to you on question about my brackets hitting. Think my 2011 Limited frame and floorboards are similar to the newer CVO's but after installing the HD forward boards in addition to a 1" width spacer under the board brackets at frame mount, the brackets touch roadway before the edge of the hinged board. I've never layed it over hard enough to lift a tire off the ground but have heard of that happening. I'm probably going to try the boards again without the spacers and see if its unbearable. With my 35"-36" inseam I needed more leg room when I bought the bike. Looking at the bright side, seat height is not an issue.

RonandJanet · « **Reply #14 on:** April 24, 2014, 12:57:38 PM »

Thanks for the info on softbrake.com. I didn't realize the HD extended pedal would make the pedal lower as well. Good to know. Did it drop the height at least 1"? Thanks in advance!

mnrider · « **Reply #15 on:** April 24, 2014, 01:10:27 PM »

It moved it out 2 inches and down 1 inch.

RonandJanet · « **Reply #16 on:** April 25, 2014, 12:52:55 PM »

That sounds perfect! Thanks! Any trouble taking the old one off (with the new brake process HD has now)?

mnrider · « **Reply #17 on:** April 25, 2014, 12:55:55 PM »

It was rather easy. Just take the floor board mounds off the frame. Then you can get the pedal to rotate and then slide right off. I think the hardest part that I had was getting the cotter pin put back on. It's a small space and I have big hands.

Cvostu · « **Reply #18 on:** April 25, 2014, 09:27:38 PM »

That cotter pin was torture ,!!!! Trying to find that tiny hole,,,,,, well,,,,, Then try to bend it all around,,,, Are we talking brake pedal here.?

Good eyes, Kuryakyn LED front turn signals!!

mnrider · « **Reply #21 on:** April 29, 2014, 12:00:26 AM »

I just ordered some LED's from Custom Dynamics. I'm hoping I will be happy with them. If not how do you like the Kuryakyn LED's?

I like them enough and they impressed me after having them on my 11 RGU that I got them for this one. Plug and play.

Makes sense with wider boards and the spacers. Function over form is my motto!!!

Cvostu · « **Reply #24 on:** April 29, 2014, 06:34:18 AM »

The hd drops it some. But brings it up further. I wouldn't add the spacers, I know what it's like to keep scraping floorboards. All of a sudden I don't feel so cramped any longer.

hi

i've purchased a 2014 cvo limited in the jupiter blue a week ago and been reading the posts about the brake pedal issue and now i am in a muddle as to wether to order the softbrake SB-014s lower pedal or the +1" wider version,
i dont want the possible scraping floorboard issue with wider version,any one have the normal SB-014S if so is there enough room without going to the extra +1 version.
your views would be appreciated.

The dealer couldn't find the extended brake pedal for 2014. They looked everywhere. The 2013 is a different diameter so it doesn't work. Does anyone who installed the HD version on the 2014 have the part number?

Wild Hog 4 · « **Reply #27 on:** May 03, 2014, 06:08:57 PM »

hi

harley do not make an extended brake pedal for the 2014 !, believe me that was my first choice, your only option is to contact "softbrake" they are making a small fortune by cashing in on harleys mistake, i am sure there will be a harley part one day, but at the moment this is your only choice, works well by the sound of it and mine should arrive in a few weeks.

Wild Hog, Thanks that is the clarification I needed.
