HD Forwards for LowRider...??

Sorry if this has already been hashed out before...but.....

Has anyone had any problems with the HD forwards when put on a LowRider?

They look good and seem fairly straight forward [no pun intended] but how much distance is there from the mounting point to the end of the shifter peg and brake pedal/peg?

I gots fairly big feets and in looking at a couple of LowRiders with forwards it does not look like much clearance with the stock HD kit.

Does Harley make an extd. set that anyone knows of?

Well, let's see if this helps. I have size 12's and I don't have any problems with clearance regarding the position of the shifter or brake. FYI, from the centerline of the peg to the centerline of the shifter is 5 1/4", to the center of the brake pedal is 6 1/4" (roughly, I don't have a tape measure here at work). As far as exrended controls, I've searched the H-D website, and not found anything. However Kuryakyn makes an extended (2") set of controls, and they also make a kit to move the H-D controls forward 3". I'm 6'-2", with a 36" inseam and my legs are a little cramped with the H-D set. I plan on picking up the extensions for mine. Both J&P Cycles and Dennis Kirk offer them.
HTH,
