I've done the chrome floorboard exts. and they are very good but,,, was just wondering if anyone has doubled them up? Did it work or am I going to be the ginney-pig?

 I wouldn't. You have already decreased the lean angle by adding the extensions. Adding another set would just be trouble. I have already hit the mounts from the floorboards since I've put them on and it doesn't hit on the floorboards which are designed to fold up. I read somewhere of someone who went down from this.

if you need more room than the 1"  I have put on the Kuryakyn extenders moves 1" out and 1" forward very comfortable riding position

[jls1098]

Thanks all. Guess I'll just stretch out and rest my toes on the pegs.

[Cvostu]

Good idea.

[sadunbar]

I wouldn't.

I wouldn't.

I have scraped my floorboards with 1" extensions several times and it scares the hell out of me every time !

There was a set of loorboard extenders on my bike when I got it. The bike was also lowered. First couple times out I was scraping boards and brackets. So I took them OFF and raised the boards to the highest setting. I still scrape, but not as often. Jonga was the one who went down when his board dug into the curve. There's a link somewhere here.

I have the extenders on my bike and have not scraped yet but I didn't lower the front and I have traxxion ak20's. With the big Zippers AC my right foot barely touched the right floorboard now much better. If you lower the front the extenders could be more problem.

I installed the original Kury extenders, which are 3/4" on both my '06 SEUC and now on my '11 SERGU.  With the Ventilator A/C, that is enough room for me.  If the outside edge of the floorboard scrapes, that doesn't hurt anything, but can scare you a bit.  It's the floorboard BRACKETS scraping that you have to be real concerned about...they don't give and will lever the tire off the pavement.  A lowered bike is more likely to scrape the brackets when the 1" extenders are installed, and if you've got a lowered bike with stock suspension, the chances of problems go up considerably.

I've never had a problem with the brackets scraping on either bike, but the Traxxion Ak-20 front suspension and Legend Air Ride for the rear shocks were installed on both bikes, maintaining full (13" rear shocks) suspension height on both ends.

I raised my 09 SERG back to 13'' height with Traxxion & Bitubos and use Harley Goodies 1'' ext (great product and better svc I should add). Have scraped the brackets more than once  I am a little more cautious now  As Terry pointed out the pucker factor is exponentially higher for dragging brackets vs. boards but at 6'4 I can't ever picture riding without my HarleyGoodies extensions.

Might want to take a look at this link......(the floorboards don't scrape.....it's the floorboard brackets that hit and there's no give, no room for error.....down before you even had a clue)...  http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=63955.msg897354#msg897354

If you are intent on extending, go to McMaster-Carr. You can get 1" diameter aluminum spacers with a 1/2" hole drilled up to 2" long in 1/4" increments.

I use a 3/4 on the left side and a 2" extension on the right due to the air cleaner assembly.
When the bike was stock (lowered) I use to hit the brackets and the boards, both sides

After raising the bike to normal EG height and adding extensions I occasionally hit the right side floorboard.

I have hit he left side bracket one time since raising the suspension, and that was a real pucker hit. But I was going too fast into the turn and the issue was not because of the extension - it was the speed.

The speed is easy to control. And the comfort that the extension adds on the right side negates the need for speed.
