[Widows Son]

I installed the floorboard extension kit and love it - I now have room and my feet don't hang off the sides and highly recommend the kit to any SESG lover (all chrome as well).

Unfortunately, when I took it out for a test drive, I found my toe shift disappeared – or at least it wasn’t located where I’d hoped it would be. By moving the boards out 1” the toe shifter (I don’t use a heel shifter – I removed and replaced it with a chromed HD spline cap) was now inconveniently 1” away from where I’d now like it. The brake wasn’t so big a deal since it’s so large.

I’ve attached a set of photos:
•   The top photo is the kit installed and highlights the 2 chrome spacers on the left side of the bike.
•   The left photo shows the new floor board location and the toe shift relation. It also shows the heel shifter has been removed and the HD spline cap installed.
•   The right photo shows the right side – brake is off but not a big deal to me.

What I’m thinking of doing is moving the toe shift lever from its current location onto the heel lever spline. This should solve the problem. BUT, I’ll need to have some form of bushing or cap that goes over the now-exposed spline. Further, it needs to hold some of the fittings which get exposed. I found what I think will work at http://www.debrix.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=44401-M1 But I don’t know if it will work on the CVO. It says it will fit “1984-up Harley FLT Tour Glide models”. Does that mean it will work on the SESG? Any other ideas for the spline cover. I also noticed there is a rubber grommet of some kind between the toe lever and the transmission case. I assume the new spline cover will need to replace that plus be longer to cover the distance to the heel lever spline. If there is any further guidance on moving the brake peddle/lever , that would also be appreciated.

Is it bothersome that I would go back to the narrower stock floorboard position? Heck no, I’ll get used to the new configuration if I have to before I’d give up the real estate I gained.

Kury Akyn makes a good heel shift eliminator as well, This unit has the toe shift in the heel position.:

I put 2 kits on my SERG. One is the kit you used 1" space out. The other was a Kuryakyn Kit that extens 1" out and 1" forward! I love it. My feet actually sit on the floor boards and not just my heel with the rest of my foot off the front corner. I am a 32" inseam and it fits me great now! Thought I would pass the info along.

Face, being 1" out and 1" forward, do you know if they'll work with leg fairings?

Good info Widow, thanks, these are some things for me to consider as I also just installed the floorboard/passenger extensions recently.

JC I looked at the instructions and they do not mention. I will take a picture tonight at home and post it. Since i don't have the lowers that's the best I can do.
