Default Forward or extended forward controls??

I am wanting to get forward controls for my 07 SG. I am 6'2, would the extended forward controls be better or would the regular forwards be fine. They each cost the same from J&P Cycles, just wondering which ones I should go with.

I have read the reviews and the riders said they were 6'4. Just wondering if the extended would make me stretch out to far.

I'm 6'3" and had forward control on my 07 SGC. Last year I replaced them with extended controls which I like a lot better.

Your height doesn't matter, it's your inseam. If you have a 33" or more inseam, go with the extendeds. With my 2" extendeds and my 34" inseam, I have a perfect fit.

I have been looking at the Kury's from JP Cycles, and they have a whole kit for 359.99 for the kit. So it's pretty expensive but it will be worth it.

Thanks for the input HemiOrange. I will have to check my inseam cause I have no idea what it is.

I'm not a tall guy at 6' and extended would be the route I would go. My stock forwards are almost to cramped, not enough to pay for new extended ones but my knee does knock the a/c.
