LMAO, sorry but this is actually the first time I hear something like this. No, sorry I'm going in the other direction, I would like to eliminate the boards to put something like 5" extended forwards if there is such a thing (I'm 6'3").Good luck,
Mimo.

rested your feets on the passenger foot pegs with apes... ok im going to laugh my f'n head off... how? LOL
pegs on a fatboy? eeek .....
forward controls can be done but without modifying the rake or the fat front fender on the 07 fatboy you wont get anything over 2" extended on..
I would love 5" extended...ok 4" im 6'2" and I have 1" extended forward controls on my 07 fatboy, while pretty f'n sweet... my legs have a wanting and desire for something fully stretched out....

RE: NE1 put mid pegs on a Fatboy ??
LOL .... no love for the midways huh ??
I can't believe I'm the only one. I've used the passenger pegs, however I've laid my foot on top of the peg upside down so that my toes are facing the ground rather than face the sky. It works OK, but still not what I'm after.
I don't know if it's the apes, the boards, or what, but on long trips it feels awkward. Kinda like trying to sit on a bar stool with your feet out infrontof you rather than underneath you. I did just put stretchers on and it DOES feel better, so now I'm wondering if I shouldn't just dump the whole floorboard thing altogether and go to pegs since it feels more natural, but i don't feel like shelling out over 700 smacks and wind up in the same situation.
I think having pegs right below me ( ans still keeping the boards ) would feel just right on long trips. I'm thinking about getting another set of stretchers and mounting them to the rear of the boards to see how it feels.
Any other suggestions?

I can google you directions to the nearest Suzuki or Yamaha dealer if you like... what is your zip code 
Hey I actually saw an 07 fatboy at a HD dealer in Sydney with 2" extended forward controls on it and it definitely DOES NOT hit the front fender!! Just thought I would let y'all know if you're interested in doing it at some point... these didnot have an extension kit they were made that way.... so the 2" extension kit should be even less likely to hit the front fender seeing as they would mount a little further apart because of the spacing etc etc..
Anybody on here done this and have photos??

Hey Vertigo, long time no see...
Hey a quick question... in your opinion would that brake line that Accutronix supplied us reach another 2" if either of us were to put 2" extension kit on the forward controls or is it pretty much at it's limit?
