Also worth pointing out that you will get more replies in the Evo section since it is an Evo. Very knowledgable and helpful guys in the Evo section.

Totally agree. Guys that have bikes that are at least 15 years old tend to have to know how to work on them. The Evo section has some great technical members. Post up over there and I bet you'll get your answer or perhaps even some parts.

They are defiantly extended...ebay and J&P are packed with standard reach forward controls for EVOs.

Thanks so much guys, I'm going over to EVO. I'm not finding reduced reach stuff on J&P & it does look like these are extended (Even though I was told they werent)

I dont think you need to be looking for reduced reach as much as you need to be seeking standard reach stuff as Tom mentioned.

I'm starting to agree. I'd love some controls like that bike above

ZOMBIE THREAD BUMP UPDATE

Ends up we THOUGHT we found reduced reach stuff that fit, when we got it, no dice. In the end we just sheet metaled a fix & we are 1.5" closer. Feels great.

EVO reduced reach parts... couldn't find em. Tried hard, called everyone. Good luck out there ! Thanks for all the input
