RE: Ness foward control ext kit?
I put Ness extensions on my night train. I'm 6 foot, they were not too much for me, I might have liked a little more. Be advised, get the right torx wrench for the screws holding the factory foot pegs on. They are on so tight its dangerous, you may break a torx wrench, and being that they are hardened, the break is razor sharp. You could impale yourself. Maybe a little heat would help. The Ness kit is complete and excellet. You may have a small bracket left over. Ernie-Seattle

I put the Ness extensions on and love them. I'm 6' and if anything I could have used another inch or so. I removed the floorboards and installed forwards at the same time. Very comfortable setup for me! Very easy to install. You got a good price too. I paid 170 for mine.

There's no flexing. I'd say they are 1/4 inch thick billet aluminum plates. They bolt to the bikes control location on the frame with three bolts each. The controls bolt to the mounted extensions with 3 bolts each. It's solid.

good solid feel - I am 6' 4" and sliding the controls out that extra 3" really helps with the feel... and as was stated earlier, great price I think I paid about 180 at the local HD Stealer.
