RE: Forward Control Extensions
JP sells a set that gives you 2 inches of extra reach and it costs only $89. The kit includes the extension brackets and a new brake and shifter rod. All parts are chrome plated. I've had mine for about a year with no problems.

Just take some thick steel plate drill regular holes that match up with frame, then measure out how much further you want to go, make sure you have the same angle and spacing and mirror two more holes at the lenghth you want. plate steel that size can almost always be found free in scrap piles in steel wherehouses. Total cost free.

Hey Dave:
Your info is exactly what I have been waiting on. You be willing to measure the lengths of your shifter and brake linkages?

RE: Forward Control Extensions
Thanks Dave. I read through the forward you linked above. I want the measurements of you linkages to see if they will work on the 06. Everything I have seen is listed for use on prior year's model, not the 06 or 07.

RE: Forward Control Extensions
Here is what I bought $161 to my door. My only concern is I hope they come with everything I need.
