Default 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've got forward controls on my street bob and im around 5'9'' or so. my leg somewhat hits the air cover, but i guess i just got used to it and moved my leg a little farther over on my peg :/ BUT forwards ROCK so it's worth it

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.
