For those that need a extra inch
Got your attention LOL
Lots of threads on forwards being a little to much of a reach for us shorter guys. In the many threads I have read there have been some solutions and a couple guys have mentioned this one. Never came across any pics or much info just that they had used them so thought I would make a thread.
They are the Custom Cycle Peg Elevators and they raise the pegs a little over a inch. This worked perfectly for me and no need to for any other mods. Just raise the shifter a little and that was it. I now have a better bend in my knee and can comfortably kick my heels up on the pegs when I want.
They also have a set screw that you can set how much the pegs tilt toward or away from the bike. You can tell in the one pic I have mine tilted in a little.
These will also push the pegs out a little as well (only about a 1/2 inch). Between these and my heel rests it pushed my pegs out almost 2 inchs.
Couple crappy garage pics

The forwards were not bad especially with the heel rests (I still had a slight bend in my knee) but they are much better now.

I noticed your forwards start out with the shifter and brake pivots already an inch or two back from where Wide Glides have them. This should help some, too. When we use adapter plates with WG controls, pegs and controls move back at the same time.

Hi Rene.....
Yea, I searched for some to fit my year Dyna, but was mission impossible.
What I ended up doing is getting the Kury Dually ISO pegs and adding a stirrup for a heel rest. almost like having floorboards. What I really miss is not being able to stretch my legs out on longer rides, since I can barely reach my highway pegs on the left and cant reach them at all on the right because my SE A/C sticks out so far I cant wrap my around it and reach the right side peg. Just a few days ago I purchased HD's Adjustable Highway Peg Mounting Kit / Long Angled that will mount on my engine guard instead of down at the bottom front part of the frame. Keep your fingers crossed.
Lee, here's a link to an auction running right now (04-10-2010)
It's the V-Twin floorboard kit; Instructions Sheet link is in my database.......
Some dyna riders have mounted adapter plates which bring back the forward controls a few inches. I will try to find the thread and post a link for you.

Here it is:
Distance between bolts on Dyna forward controls?
Some nice images of the kick-back plates...
And the link to the Ebay auction (Sorry!)
