I'm 6'6" with a 36" inseam. I've made changes to my Road King to increase room and comfort (Tallboy seat, Road King High Handlebar). I recently purchased a Walter's Workshop extended shift lever, and I'm looking at their extended brake lever as well. Does anyone have experience with that particular setup, or have a recommendation as far as another product (Kuryakyn, Softbrake, EZ Brake, etc.)? I don't mind spending $150 +/-, but I want to get it right the first time. I'm looking for maximum room at the front of the floorboard, and something that will minimize how far I have to lift my foot to brake.
 
I bought mine from Walter's Workshop several years ago. At the time it had the longest lever compared to the rest of the aftermarket brake levers. This gave more room on the footboards. The chrome plating was superior. A few years down the road Harley finally came out with their extended lever with lousy plating. I believe the brake lever is adjustable meaning you can set the height off the footboards. You know 6'.6" is going to be tight on any bike. The older Road Kings up until 96 had more leg room. In 97 they lowered the frames seating area and it caused all kinds of problems for tall riders and their passengers. I remember reading numerous complaints. I would recomend Walter's Workshop over the rest simply because it does what it's suppose to and it still looks just as good as it did when it was new.
 
I recently installed SOFTBRAKE's extended brake lever on my RK. works great for me. I had the EZ-Brake lever from Kuryakyn on my Fatboy - but, seems EZ-Brake is out of business.
