Default Rocker dropback pegs/controls??

I just bought an 09 Rocker. But I am not that long in the legs, so my feet are just barely on the pegs. I probably should have just got the V-rod, as Harley makes a drop back control kit for them. I know they don't make anything for the Rocker yet, but does anyone know of an aftermarket company that makes something??

The only other option I can think of, is to install some fat pegs. And then use a torch, to bend my shifter and brake pedal back a couple inches. And I plan on getting an upholstery place, to add some foam to the back of the seat, to scoot me forward a bit as well.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

hey i had the same question, i havent picked mine up yet but i was told that if you bought aftermarket levers it would bring it back a couple of inches. also if you look at dwiggs pictures of the before and after you can see that they appear to have moved about two inches back by doing this, there the ones out of the diamond collection.

good luck

I am using Harley fat pegs that I believe are actually passenger pegs. I just like the way they look. Changing the seat would be an easy way to move yourself forward a bit.
