I agree, the Ness kit is ace. I also added forward controls to them, so I'm nearly 5" further out than stock. Love the look, and it's way comfortable, especially on long trips.

Yeah, I'm 6'4" so I am in need of them as well. Just curious, how are some of you getting the 5"? Also, does the 2" really make that much of a difference, it doesn't seem like it would but I know numbers are deceiving.

Im interested in this setup as well. 2inches would make a huge difference for me on top of the 3inch Ness extension.

I picked up a set of Accutronix Forward Controls from Dennis Kirk at half price last year ($500...it was just about this time last year).

I am 6'4" and I have to say this was one of the best purchases for my Springer that I made. I do not think my riding position could be more comfortable.

I have a fatboy w/floorboards. Would I have to switch to forwards for an extension or is there a way to move the floorboards forward and add longer shiftords and such?
