Default Forward Controls

Need to spec some forward controls that are more forward than stock for my new Train, say +3 1/2" should do. Any suggestions as to make and type? Got long legs (36" inseam and 6ft 7in tall).

Holy crap, you're TALL!! I seem to remember hearing of a kit to extend the controls, but I don;t know the specifics. I'm sure someone here will be able to tell you if they exist. Good luck!

Cheers!

Check J&P. they had a set of 3" 1/4 for less than the 3". The 3"1/4 used the factory hardware on their mount extensions. I thik it was 189. The 3" were around 300.
At your height you may need custom. Seat will make a difference also. I bougt mine and a shorter guy had put a seat on it that moved me too far forward. I had a seat made by Bar Enterprises (harleyseats.com) and that made a world of difference. Don't misunderstand me . I am 5' 10", but I like stretching out.
