Question Forward Controls

I own a 2001 Fatboy and love it. the problem is that I'm 6'7" tall. While I really like the footboards and the toe/heel shift I'm pretty cramped up and my feet spend most of the time on the highway pegs (I even shift from this position, probably not safe). So I would like to convert over to extended forward controls. Choices seem really limited, I can either spend $120-$150 for some Chinese product that may or may not be safe or quality or the other end of the spectrum $800 + (that look like they should be on a show bike). I want something that is well made looks decent (more interested in function) that wont break the bank. Anyone have any suggestions. Thanks in advance

You can do extended forward controls and swap the pegs for floorboards.

That set up is awesome, I have a 2001 fatboy, will this work for me, can you change the angle of the footboards so I can keep my heel shift?

Yes forward, backwards, up and down, and tilt.

Sorry to be a pain in the A##, but what did you use to move your shifter, brake lever and kickstand?

The longer rods should come with the forward kit
