Default Extension for forward controls

Hi all,
I am thinking about getting the 3" extensions for my forward controls to give me a little more leg room. My concern is how they are going to look.
I was wondering if you could post some Pics of your bikes that have these extensions installed so i can see how they will look and your input on how you like or dislike them.

Thanks as always

Harpoon

Sorry I have no pics, But a buddy of mine just installed 3inch extensions on his softail standard and they look good. He is 6'5 and they really helped him strech out.

Thanks for the pic and great looking bike. couple of questions, roughly how much were the extensions? and what kind of seat is on your bike? is that stock? it looks like a longer seat than normal.

Thanks again for you input much appreciated.
