So, I recently purchased a 2019 Softail Slim (FLSL) and I know that parts are going to take some time to catch up with the new frame and all... BUT, I'm 6'3, 250 lbs, and I'm in desperate need of some extended control options. I would like something like the Arlen Ness 3" floorboard extensions, a Kuryaken brake pedal extender, maybe a shifter extension (if not included in the Arlen Ness kit). I do know that the 2019 softail slim is the same as the 2018 minus a slimmer primary cover, so if it fits an 2018, it should fit my 2019.
Does anyone know of any current options or know of a fabricating company that won't kill me on price?
NVM, Got in touch with a knowledgable tech today who informed me that the Softail Breakout or Fat Bob forward controls will fit the slim since they are on the same frame. Therefore the optional extended forward control kit which pushes the forward controls out about 3" more, will fit as well. Vertical Challenge problem solved! Now I'm thinking about adding the THRASHIN mini floorboards that mount to peg mounts and I will be solid!

No, You would have to piece the parts together through your local HD parts department. You're essentially buying the OEM Breakout controls and fitting them to the slim.

Can you post a picture? Any more info on this mod. I'm 6'4 and need forwards. Thanks
Forward Controls from ThunderBike not cheap but outstanding quality ,the bonus is that the brake and shift lever are six point adjustable, this moves them forward and up 3 1/2 inches

If someone ends up with slim floorboards, would like to get them. I would trade my mids plus a little cash. Or have a Corbin wall seat for 18+ slim or fxbb. I gained some legroom with tall boy seat, fwiw.
