This video was very helpful. I am 6’ 3” with big feet so I’m definitely going with the +2” - happy to be part of your community. Will let you know how my installation goes
I have a 2001 (new to me) HD Electra Glide Ultra Classic and had researched for various brake pad extenders online - the position of the stock one was unwieldy. After seeing some less expensive option on Amazon, I came across SoftBrake and could see that they were very serious about the poor brake pedal problem. I ordered the +2 on Saturday morning. Early in the afternoon that same day, someone called me from SoftBrake. They were concerned that my bike would have come with lower fairings and that +2 wouldn't fit. (I had removed the lower fairings. At 6'3" and with size 14 boots, the fairings we not going to work even without the extension.) How impressive is that - they called me on a Saturday to make sure they weren't sending me a part that was not appropriate for my bike.
I was really surprised to see how awkward the stock position was - come on H-D! Nice call with this lever, really like the look of this brand and I don't stay updated on the forums etc, so many thanks Art for filling me in on this one.
Subscribed. Best vid I’ve found on this topic. 6’ 1” 34” inseam and the stock riding position on my street glide is not just annoying but physically painful in my hips, quads, and knees after long rides. I’m sure part of it the issue with the stock pedal position. Gonna give this fix a try.
Wow! Good video. Will be ordering one of these this weekend. I’ve got a FLTRK, so not sure I can go two inches, but even the one-inch mod would. Be a significant improvement over what I have now.
I have heard lots of good reviews on the soft brake rear pedal. Lots of extra room on the floorboard and easier to get to that rear brake pedal. Thanks for sharing Art. Ride safe and enjoy.
I will give them a try. Sometimes I ride with the front of my foot sticking out from the floorboard just so I can pivot on the heel to hit the brake pedal.
Thanks for comment and yes this is great upgrade and I also have video on their front brake and clutch lever. This 3 things made significant difference in comfort and safety. You will love it. If you can mention this video while ordering I would really appreciate it.
I'm thankful you showed both lengths it helped me decide which length to go with. my only concern is what size pad to go with that will work with the one I currently have it's not the original pad it's Harleys defiance pads.
All HD pads that you currently have will fit new pedal just buy same style. What you see on video is “standard” Harley pad as well. I moved it from OEM pedal to this one and it is perfect fit.
Great video. Has peaked my interest as I do feel a little cramped when moving my foot in order to brake. Will be heading to their website after typing here. Thanks Art
HD have been making bikes for over a hundred years, The brake pedal action is archaic. Stock is hopeless. The dynamics of lifting your foot, moving it rearwards then lifting it up to then push horizontally forward to brake is ridiculous. All other bikes have the pedal directly under your foot all the time where a simple roll of the ankle while sole of foot remains on peg activates the brake.this device is mind numbing . So many separate piece to perform what should be a simple system. The whole system should be redesigned.
Great video .. I am 6’2 and really need this. But how about the gear shifter pedals? Wouldn’t you want to get extended one as well? Kuryakin brand also do some really good extended pedals .
I have pegs so I wonder how this peddle would fit, etc... anyone experience/advise? Or perhaps I should switch pegs out for boards? I have an original FXSTSB (Bad Boy). I hear it's worth more unmodified. So many decisions lol
Thanks for commenting and watching I will say give Rick at SoftBrake a call he will be able to assist as he has a knowledgeable and know how on his products.
Hi great informative video. Do you know if this fits the road king special. Wasn’t sure what bike you were working on but looked very similar to my road king special. Hope is does
@@RidersUnited hi thanks for the reply. I’ve now subscribed and can see we have the same bike. Do you have the part number for the +2” as I am 6ft 3” I think this would be the best one
@@andrewbooth4341 feel free to visit this company website or call them they have it listed there. Mention my channel when ordering as well they will hook you up and for your height yes 2” over would be probably ideal
Thank you for comment and watching. Softbrake has pedals for Softails as well check their website as they have a lot of great products that make rider life easier.
So okay I installed it and anybody really feel the diffrence in the brake power?! After install softbrakes pedal the position of my leg is definetly much better. HOWEVER! I feel like my bike lost 30-40% of the brake power! Does anybody notice it?
Shouldn't be a case. I would check if you don't have leak or maybe need bleeding brake lines. Keep in mind brake fluids should be replaced every 2 years so maybe you are overdue.
@@RidersUnited I exactly remember how strong my rear brake was with the stock pedal. After replacing I lost 30-40% braking power. Looks like the pedals have different angles and it impact on brakes…

I have spent $1000 to make my 2019 Street Glide feel like my 2016 Victory Cross Country. Harley really needs to improve their riding position.
I feel you man I spend 3000$ to make my Road King rideable as far as suspension
@adamlowery7332 - ME TOO!! Just traded my Vic XC for a 2019 RG and came here for help

Yes I have similar discussion with owner for about 1 hr myself. Yes these guys care for real.
Thank you for showing 1" and 2". It was very helpful. And now I know I want a 2" extension.
This 2” pedal makes for really comfortable position and I am 5’10” tall but I like to stretch and it is perfect fit
I was really surprised to see how awkward the stock position was - come on H-D! Nice call with this lever, really like the look of this brand and I don't stay updated on the forums etc, so many thanks Art for filling me in on this one.

Thank you for your comment Roman and yes I have to agree with you 100%. I am glad we have company like SoftBrake to fix this issue.
Great video .. I am 6’2 and really need this. But how about the gear shifter pedals? Wouldn’t you want to get extended one as well? Kuryakin brand also do some really good extended pedals .
Yes, SoftBrake offer custom length shifters as well. Check it out and you can match your brake pedal and shifter if you buy everything from them.
Why haven't you tried the plus 3"? Wouldn't have worked with the crash bar?
I don't thing they even offer +3 and probably ymthere would be clearance issue. +2 is plenty trust me.
Actually they do offer it. It is 13” 1/4 long, so technically it would still fit. We’ll see. I’ve just ordered it. Thanks
@viktorkatona7521 I was not even aware they have it. I guess you are probably really tall and if yes you will probably like it.
How many mile did you have on your bike when you installed the new brake pedal
About 5k
did you get to return the 1 inch or did you have to eat it?
I was able to return it but give them the call they are great company and they will work with you.
I have pegs so I wonder how this peddle would fit, etc... anyone experience/advise? Or perhaps I should switch pegs out for boards? I have an original FXSTSB (Bad Boy). I hear it's worth more unmodified. So many decisions lol
