Extended Softail Comfort

05. The original hardware holds the chrome brackets in place and a dab of thread locker guarantees longevity.

06. Being that the brackets are actual factory parts, the kickstand and shifter slipped home with nary an issue. We were sure to give the shifter shaft a light coating of grease to keep it moving freely.

07. For the extensions, the supplied hardware was used to secure the extension to the bracket. You can see how the unt is designed with a tab to sit flat on the bracket, keeping the floorboard from dropping past level.

08. A self-adhesive plastic washer buffered the extension from the floorboard itself.

09. If you think 1-1/4 inches isn’t much, check out the distance between the shifters and floorboard.

10. On the right side, the rear brake line, pedal, and master cylinder required removal, so we grabbed a cup, pulled the rear brake line, and let the fluid drain before pulling the assembly off the bike.

11. One for another, the chrome replaced the black. The square hole is where the master cylinder resides through the piece. This might be a good time to upgrade to a chrome master cylinder if you were thinking about it.

12. Behind the pivot bolt for the rear brake pedal is an O-ring to seal the shaft. Be sure to lube it all up before cinching everything back together.

13. Knowing the crush washers on the brake line are not reusable, we were prepared with two fresh ones included in the master cylinder kit we picked up.

14. The Harley Goodies’ extension and hardware were slipped into place before the floorboard, signaling this portion of the install done.

15. The tale of the tape shows just a hair more than the advertised 1-1/4 inch of change.

16. Before: Our model’s leg was clearly against the air cleaner, as was Chad’s.

17. After: Check out the gap between the model’s leg and the air cleaner. The rider’s leg now drops in a more neutral position raising comfort and allowing more space between the shifters and brake pedal to move around.

18. JBN Custom’s Phantom Bar ($349) came out of the box chromed and ready with hardware.

19. Up top, the Phantom Bar mounted to the frame crossbar with the supplied Allen bolt.

20. Down below, the JBN unit bolted to each footboard bracket. It couldn’t get much easier.

22. Press the button and the hidden pegs spring out ready to use. You can easily work the buttons with your feet while riding to gain the use of the pegs at your leisure.

23. Looking down from the rider’s position, the glint of fresh chrome adds the form while the spacers and spring-operated pegs level the function field.
