I'm 6'4" and feel a little cramped even with the 3" extensions

I got the 3" extensions on my softail. AWESOME!!! I'm 5'10" and it made a world of difference. I installed them on a Friday night and Saturday morning left for a friends house over 3 hours away. Comfort the whole way.

Might want to look at the heel rests too. Gives your feet more support. Maybe a flatter wider footpeg if you don't want to lose the cornering clearance.

I've got the Ness 3" kit too. Love 'em. I knew that at 6'1" and leggy, I could use more stretch, but now, it's like a different bike.

Heck, I would like to know if they make'um for a 2007 Deluxe with floorboards.

I am 6'3 and feel cramped in my current riding position.
