Default Help with seat/ foward controls

Hi guys,
Iam 6'6" and ride a 07 deuce.
I cant find anyone that makes extended foward controls. I have tried everywhereIcan think of.
And i was at my local dealership, they are at a loss as well. They said i could move my seat back, but how do i do this?
I dont really care what it costs, i just need to streach my legs out a little. i look/feel cramped on the bike.Thanks in advance for your help.
Dirty

max, I think Mustang makes a seat that sets you back and Arlen Ness makes a 3" forward control extension kits to use with stock controls. Just put mine on yesterday and they give me a nice stretch

Hope this helps

Dirty the Ness kit is just an extension kit that you mount your existing controls to, it comes with a longer rear brake line and shifter linkage so you just mount your controls to the extension plates, easy mod you can do yourself and relatively cheap to do, hope this helps.
