They have a 3 inch, 3 1/4 inch and 4 inch extended. Hard to say if we don't know the make/model/year of your bike.

WHat's wrong with the Ness kit? Lots of people have it, and they say no problems. First I've heard of this.... Please enlighten me. I haven't bought one yet is why I am asking, and was looking pretty seriously at Ness.

I have the Ness 3" kit on my '02 Softail. No problems. Have installed 3 others on customer bikes and no problems. I too would love to have another 1-1 1/2" or 4 to 4 1/2" fwd controls. Would be the perfect leg extension for me when riding. (I'm 6' 3")... Frontend is raked enough that interference wouldn't be a problem. 4" controls would probably work...
