Control Extensions

So I'm every bit of 6'2" and the train deff wasn't made for someone with legs as long as mine. As I was looking for extended controls I came across a kit that just has a black billet plate with the mounting holes were the controls mount now and 3 inches forward. Seeing as this is much cheaper its enticing. Is there any reason I should steer clear of this though? Whether it be safety or performance.

I used an extension kit on a previous bike and was very pleased with it. It's a great alternative to forward controls if you're on a budget. I say go for it and enjoy the comfort.

If anyone else could comment on any experience with these it would be much appreciated. I am tired of having my knees in my chest, lol.

yeah I deff need extended cause when I prop my feet up, the back of legs actually rest on the pegs. So the bottom of my boots stick at least 6in past the peg.
