Here are some pics of Walter's Workshop's extended shift lever. Kuryakyn also makes one, but I think Walter's compliments the original better -on the K model the holes are beveled.

This and the Kuryakyn one both put the toe lever on the heel place - a tad further out, which I will want when I get the floorboards extended out (using Kuryakyn relocator brackets).

In the pic it looks like it really angles inward. It is actually straight, but the curve in the floorboard is accentuated by the longer lever.

I'll post another pic below of the Walter's layed up with the stock heel. Couldn't bring myself to risk stripping threads to mock up on the bike (in case you want to extend toe but keep stock heel) - the eliminator has a spring in it, so it's pushing back as you put the lever on, which is really tight, etc.  

Walter's also has a new extended brake pedal, which hasn't been available before for newer touring models:

I have one on order, I'll post pics when it's on.

FWIW Here's the Walter's extended shift lever beside the stock heel lever, to give a sense of the match. Looks good together, and I can't imagine you''d need to extend heel backward.

Here they are side by side for a sense of how much longer the extended is.

Curious to see the pic of the brake pedal - I need mine higher by an inch so my boots will clear under the pedal ... forward would be nice too.

I'm surprised no one (that I've found) has revised brackets that'll drop the boards a little bit.  I'd rather drop the boards 3/4 of an inch than just replace the pedals.

Any pics of the brake pedal?  Curious here too...

The brake lever is a little disappointing - only the slightest bit longer, and it's thinner than the stock which gives it an almost flimsy look. I like the extended shift lever, and I like things to match, so I went with this one. Many people recommend Kuryakyn's extended brake lever because it flattens the angle of the brake pad, for more clearance. This one is slightly longer, maybe 1/2" or so, but I still have to move my toe out and around it to brake. Can you tell which is which?

Also the finish is a little shabby, which isn't the case with the shift lever.
