you can buy the forward control extension kit from harley. it runs a bit on the high side though something like $175 or so. it comes with 2 brackets and longer linkages. could probably order the linkages cheaper and make you own brackets. this is something i have been interested in doing as i feel a little uncomfortable with my current forward controls. here is a link i found:
