Extended forward controls

Ok so I'm about 6ft tall and I put extended forward controls on my SG. I like the way they feel but my leg rubs against the breather cover.

I was just wondering what others are putting on their bikes that might have a smaller footprint than the big oval HD cover

I've got a big sucker with a thin a/c insert cover on it and my leg still rubs up against it. I've got extended controls as well.

I am 6' and have extended controls. I also put heel rests on and the extra 2" moved the pegs away from the bike enough to help with the knee problem.

I also have extended forward controls but added 1 1/2 inch foot peg extensions by Kuryakyn to solve the A/C problem. Moving my foot pegs out eliminated the issue of rubbing the air cleaner.

any round air cleaner and cover. Zipper makes a real small one.... it's 500 bucks or so though.

I have the Kury extensions on my Wide Glide and changed over to the round H-D air cleaner cover. I will admit though that my leg tends to rub against this cover from time to time as well.
