Default extended forward controls on FXSTC

Is there anybody who is only 6 feet tall that has put these on a Custom. I just cant help but think it would be nice to stretch out just a little more but I hate to spend the coin if its going to be to much of a reach. I am refering to the 3" ones. Thanks and ride safe.[sm=biker.gif]

Look on the Softail Custom picture thread, a couple of guys discuss them in the last three pages.

I did the 3" forward control extinsion kit, but it just wasn't enough so I added the 2" offsets. Hope this helps...

I have the 3" extended controls on my Custom. I am 6'3" and it's not too much at all. In fact they could be extended more and still be comfortable.

Just had my '08 FXSTC's 1000 mile service and had Ness 3" extensions installed to boot. I'm 6'1" and somewhat leggy and they do provide some leg relief, they could still go out 2" more and still not be leg-locked. Not sure my bad knee would like the extra 2".
