Default 3 inch extentions

First Harley 2012 (Fat Bob), love it. With that said I ordered some 3 inch extentions for my forward controls. I really like to ride with my legs stretched out. I ride know with my heel on the oem peg with my toes hanging in the wind. I am nervous though that they may be to much "extention". I am 5'11" with a 31 inseam.

I guess worse case sceanrio is that I can sell them along with almost everything stock on my bike, lol. This Harley stuff is expensive???? 16,000 dollar bike equals 21,000 grand!!!! Thanks alot of good stuff on this forurm.

I'm 6'2" and find the stock forwards just OK, wouldn't want them any further forwards personally. Wondering if you are going to be able to work the brake pedal OK with it another 3" forward.

You know you can adjust the position of the brake pedal a bit with the adjustable locknut on the front of the rear master cylinder? Might be worth a little play before scrapping the idea completely.

I'm 6'1", 34" inseam and I think the forwards are already pretty darn forward. I guess this is where they say "your mileage may vary." If you like to stretch your **** out, you'll be stretched!
