Yea, lose the floor boards and get a 3" forward controle kit "120-300$" . get some 12" apes. Have mean city cycles re-build your seat maby one inch down and one inch back with memory foam. At least thats what I did and now i'm good for at least 500 miles. I'm 6'4" and 270lb and it worked for me.

Yea defender7. do an ebay search or go to your local indy shop or check out drag specialties for a forward control extension kit. They have bars and risers too. Went back and forth on weather to go to drags or mini apes and settled on apes (45$ ebay) and love them. Now I dont sloutch any more. Good luck..

I moved my floorboards forward about 2" and out about 1 1/2" - then switched to a softtail standard seat that MCC reworked to move me back about 2" and down about 2".
