RE: who has ext foward controls?
I put the 3-inch ness extensions on my ride and added forwards at the same time (removed the floorboards). Compared to the floorboards the controls and extensions give me more ground clearance. The way the extensions are designed I can't see any applications in which you would loose clearance. My bet would be that this warning is a liabilty precaution.

Heather got down in a couple of turns at the dragon and scraped her forward pegs, did not wreck, the set she has are adjustable and we raised them up a hair

I have the Ness kit too and no problems. There was no way I could comfortably ride / shift with the controls in the stock position. It all depends on how you ride.
