The FIRST SAFETY MOD I do to ALL Harley's!

Over years and across extensive miles of testing, the Kuryakyn Extended Brake Pedal has earned my unwavering endorsement. The stock brake pedal's design, crafted by Harley engineers, poses significant discomfort. At 5'-8" tall with a men's US shoe size of 9.5, I find the stock position terribly inconvenient. It's short, lacks forward extension, and sits at an uncomfortably high angle, resulting in poor ergonomic support for both touring and training scenarios.

[@Hendomonster]

Holy Crap! I just finished doing this to my Street Glide and all I can say is "WOW!" This completely changes the feel of the brake. It is so rare for ONE part to make such a big difference. Thank you, brother.

[@sirreus3003]

I've been riding for 40+ years.... Never had an issue. I'm 5'11" with a size 13 boot. For me, I see this as a preference and an unnecessary modification for my bikes. It may be for better some, but don't say it is a must-have 1st modification.

[@crossfitfortuna]

Once you ride a bike with a different/ “better” pedal you will likely feel different about this. Maybe not, but that is why there are so many different mods for the Harleys. Ride on!

[@sirreus3003]

@@crossfitfortuna I doubt it. It's called muscle memory.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Each to their own. Thx for watching. I will say, training for emergency maneuvers, tight maneuver, and training and on the fast track, this mod is a must. I use it daily on my police bike and train others. It's a must have IMO. Ride safe.

[@sirreus3003]

@@RyanUrlacher Exactly my point! In your opinion.... It's not an absolute.

[@user-kb4fp3ii4v]

Ryan...Thanks for the recommendation and "How to" video and your channel in general. I am not exactly mechanically inclined but just installed them on my '16 RGS and could not be happier. Huge benefit and so much more natural/comfortable to use the rear brake. Thanks again...

[@htena3099]

Great video. I did this about a year ago and don't regret it. I also added the extended brake pedal pad made a huge difference.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Nice!! thx for sharing.

[@terryburgau7792]

One more thing to add to the grocery list of things to change.

[@davideastwood2095]

This is one of the first mods that I do to my new bikes too! Love it. Glad to hear you keep them in stock!!

[@RyanUrlacher]

Nice!! thx for sharing.

[@kevinstorm6009]

This pedal was one of the first things I installed on my 2001 FLH... and when I replaced that bike, the same pedal easily transferred to my 2017 FLHTK.

[@yertelt5570]

Great tip, I've always struggled with the rear brake placement on my 2010 road king. I just thought it was because I was used to riding a bike with pegs. Unfortunately you don't appear to stock anything for a bike made prior to 2014. There are a lot of pre-2014 touring bikes still on the road, I won't mention any competitors by name here, but most other online parts dealers carry the girder style for pre-2014 bikes and they are actually in stock too. I will return when the parts arrive for an install refresher, thanks for the video.

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

Softbrake makes one. They said that they sell tons to LEOs. Tons of motormen get busted legs when falling due to foot getting stuck under the pedal. Def always making sure my foot isn’t in a place where it can get stuck if something happens. Gonna get this. Thanks for the vid !

[@RyanUrlacher]

rock on 🤘

[@darrellhodges1050]

I bought the SoftBrake last year and it has made a world of difference. The extended model wouldn't fit my Road Glide Ultra but the extension wasn't what I needed, it was the lower position. It makes it so much easier to work the back brake while keeping the bike under a load during slow maneuver's.

[@charlieswearingen500]

You are spot-on about the stock brake levers. Because of this pedal issue, I tipped my bike on its side.

[@stampbj]

I did this mod on my '94 Soft tail and it made a huge difference with my size 13 boots. Currently with a 2010 CVO Touring I haven't had an issue with the stock pedal, but now that I see the difference...

[@MikeAndrews-scootertrash76]

I like to do my own maintenance on my hardy davidson and am thankful for the pass down of knowledge and learning from video's out there.

[@chrisl.7345]

Please note if you want to install it on a 2017 up FLHTK with Lower Fairings you will have to bend it a bit to the right so it won’t hit / interfere with the Right Fairing… no big deal !

[@qualuedtke]

Installed one on my 24 RG. I can tell that I'll like it, eventually. After 13 years on two Road Glides, muscle memory has me messed up, my foot keeps going to the old location. A few more rides and I'll get re-trained.

[@amg5795]

This a main problem on Fat Bob 2018+ Swap rear brake foot lever is must!

[@carlbruhn1772]

Absolutely. The stock one sucks. It made my hip and knee go crazy.

[@macmac3770]

Scrappy - best modification I made, but it wasn’t the first. Changed mine after attending a local PD “Share the Road” seminar and noticed others with lower brake pedals had much easier time with slow-speed maneuvering. Definitely made a difference. 🙏🏻 🤜🏼.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Thanks for sharing, bro. Good to hear from ya. Stay safe!!

[@infini1970]

Funny all this time owning my street glide I now know mine has this installed already when I got the bike.

[@michaellaughery6411]

I like angle and hight of the stock, it is better to slightly out rather then straight down when your leg is extended but I would like it bumped out further like the replacement

[@anthonybrincefield2812]

First thing I did , ten years ago,when I got my SGS. By far the best money spent, and I’ve spent a lot on it!! Oh I should mention that my LAB gripper phone mount survived after a crash last year that bent the bars to the tank. So that’s probably number two on Best Buy list.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Thanks for sharing. Glad you're okay!! BIKER GRIPPER IS THE BEST ==> shop.lawabidingbiker.com/collections/bikergripper

[@NVET92]

Really liked this extended pedal in my previous touring models. Wanted to use it on my 23 CVO SG, but tech thought that after installation, it would set too close to the mustache shaped crash bars (safety issue?). So, I kept the stock rear brake pedal.

[@RyanUrlacher]

thx for sharing.

[@Peter-mcmcmc]

OMG, too funny! You and I are the same height and shoe size, and I did the exact same mod within two weeks of owning my 2023 RKS. It makes a WORLD of difference! Great endorsement that every H-D rider should do, regardless of the rider's height, shoe size, etc.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Right on!

[@RyanUrlacher]

We have shorter rider using them. Perfect.

[@f86sabjf]

I’m 6”2 with a size 13 shoe . This is a game changer. Don’t hesitate to do this

[@aussie_xsf]

100 % agree, excellent video. The stock one in my opinion is actually unsafe in an emergency.

[@RyanUrlacher]

You got that right. Unsafe for sure. Thx for watching.

[@sharkeymusic9165]

@ryanurlacher Your videos are fantastic! I am in the market for a new bike. Safety is my number one concern. I come from riding a BMW GS. One of my big concerns about the Harley's is the weight and lower ground clearance. Seems like to me if you find yourself running into a corner a bit to fast or somebody pulls out in front of you that the Harley will likely take longer to stop and be a bit less maneuverable than an Adventure Bike. Have you spent any time on an Adventure Bike? I would really appreciate your opinion on this. Thanks!

[@W9HJBill]

I agree, it's a must. I'm 6'6" and wear a size 16 boot and this is a God send.

[@RoadGlideAustralia]

This is good to know. Same height, slightly smaller foot. What brand did you end up going with ?

[@lyndagreen6185]

Mine is perfect for me the way it is. HD finally made something for small people. 😄

[@klchristian1522]

The extended reach pedal is a game changer. I can now pivot on the ball of my feet and cover the brake pedal without lifting my foot. Now I don't have to worry that in a panic situation I'll chomp down on the rear brake. The position of the original brake made me understand why a lot of guys don't use the rear brake.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Nice!! thx for sharing.

[@linhnha1339]

That’s not true. With lower pedal , the ability of pressing of pedal and control is much compromised. The reason why Harley is using it that way is science and well studied. Please do not promote articles that completely compromise the controls.

[@benmack8359]

Have done this on my last 2 Road Glides. Game changer for sure!

[@michaeljenson3943]

I have a Road Glide, and with the fixed fairing doesn't that sit on the crash bar for support? Do you need to do a different procedure for the shark nose?

[@jims2311]

on a 20 20 streetglide does the rear O ring go back on or remain removed like the front O ring for the new brake pedal

[@DavidHolguin562]

2014 Stock Street Glide - It asks if I want to purchase with or without lowers?? Can you explain the difference and if I need that?

[@Justin-tp3lr]

I just picked up a 2020 street glide, and i have this in the pipeline to get. It was my first time riding a harley, and the stock one was extremely uncomfortable.

[@crossfitfortuna]

I put the Thrashin Supply adjustable brake lever on and couldn’t agree more about the Harley brake arm being awful. This looks like a great option as well and less expensive. Ride on!

[@RyanUrlacher]

Thx for watching. I've tested these for 10 years now and on my police bike I use daily. Solid product and good price compared to others like you say.

[@waterkoppie]

30 years ago you could adjust the brake pedal and floorboards, later one's you have to modify indeed, my 1994 adjusted low, 1998 non-adjustable high, 2013 also non-adjustable but low again, 2016 high again ..... modified myself to low position, what do they want at H-D ???

[@RyanUrlacher]

Nice!! thx for sharing.

[@firbyd]

You talk about being avg at 5'8" with 9 and a1/2 foot size (US) So but what more would help is.. What is your inseam? the stretch of the leg would be more important as far as the reach goes, no? Also, youdon't like it high, but if someone does have a short inseam persay, they might not be able to reach the pedal. So, it's all how the rider likes and fits more so.. I would think.. Anyway, good subject to bring to light and I have seen quite a few of our vids by now and have enjoyed them all.. TCRS D.

[@pmdinaz]

Great product, but I did the poor man version. I ran the bar adjusters to draw the pedal lower. Way easier and way cheaper. Not the exact same result, but it definitely lowers that sky high pedal that is arguably unsafe, agree with you on that one haha.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Let me lower longer Billy problems. You lose break pressure leverage because of longer and everything like that.

I don't have good experience with the brand 'Kuryakin'. Their chrome finish does NOT hold up well. Give it 3 years and it'll start looking like crap.

Same reason I avoid Kuryakin parts. I don't think the part I added made it two years before the chrome began flaking and rust started.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Nice! 👍

[@michaeleisen5445]

I can see the benefit of having the brake pedal lower. But farther out is ridiculous. You still must move your leg forward to apply the brake. I am 5'7" and own a 93 FXRS-CONV and a 2010 FLHTC I have short legs. If anything, I want to reduce my leg travel to the pedal not increase it. If it came in a shorter version I would consider it. I basically like the idea. Like my 93 FXRS-CONV and all the Triumphs and Nortons I have owned hitting the rear brake was just twisting your foot sideways. You practically already have the pedal covered with no leg movement whatsoever. You're also able to get your feet to the ground faster to stabilize the bike while stopping. Using that longer pedal could be the difference between dropping the bike and keeping it upright due to the increased distance the leg needs to travel to the ground during a stopping event. I'll take the pedal position on my FXRS-CONV and my British bikes anytime over my Electra Glide.

[@623gman]

Did this on my 2019 Road Glide Ultra as well as my 2022 CVO Road Glide Limited. This should be standard. The stock pedal is unusable. Unusable safety equipment is dangerous.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Totally agree.

[@ropermachine]

[@xavierkuri]

Kuryakyn has the worst customer service ever, their light system is now useless as the app stopped working and they have no plans to fix .

[@brettrenshaw253]

Sometimes I think the design guys at Harley are all complete nincompoops. Practically everyone wears boots when they ride. Boots are bigger than shoes and the stock brake pedal and often the shifter lever are too short. They get in the way of just being able to place your feet square on the floorboards. The extra 1 inch or so of length makes it so you can plant your boots on the floorboards without crap being in the way.
