Forward Control Extenders

Does anyone have forward control extenders on? I'm 6'4" and even with forward controls i seem cramped. I need room to stretch out a bit! any idea what the part # is for Harley, and can you guys/gals include pics? Thanks! -PS. '08 Fat Bob's rule!

I'm 6'6" and put The 3" extensions from Kury on my '03 FXDWG. Would have put 4 inchers on if I could have found them. But the 3 inchers are great.

I too have the Kury 3" extendeds and my 34"-35" inseams could probably stretch for more, but they are perfect for me, just a nice bend at the knee and comfortable.

You may look in to the "Tall Boy" seat that HD offers. Gets you a little more up and back and as a bonus a little bigger pillion for the passenger and more comfortable for the driver. Worked for me. I couldn't go with the extenders since I have a engine guard and it would have interfered. The is on an 06 wide glide.

I have a 34" inseam and run the Kury 3" extended forwards on my 05 SG. With the stock seat I feel very cramped; when running my Sadlemen Renegade solo seat I am extremely comfy and can stretch very nicely. Good luck.

But that's just my experience and opinion.

I'm 6'4" with 34" inseam and started out with Kuryakyn standard forwards. They were okay and much better than mids but never could get totally comfortable after trying several seats and even changing out the bars. Took me a while but, since Kury doesn't make an extension kit for their own controls, I swapped mine out entirely for Kury's extended forward controls and I love them. So, I'd definitely recommend their extensions for HD controls if you have them. Mine finally fits me like a glove. Never did learn to love the tallboy seat. I sold it. My wife enjoyed the ride on the back of it but I just didn't like it.
