Default Ahh! finally, more leg room.
Just installed the Joker 3" forward controll extentions. Took the Rocker to DC. for the tax march, with the Bikers For Christ Sat. I'm still not stretched out fully, but what a difference. I'd have to mount my pegs on the front axle if I wanted to stretch out all the way. For us long legged riders, Harley's are like mini bikes. I'm at the library cause computers down. Not been on here in a while. So hello peeps.

Being a tall person myself, I found this isprobably one of the better mods I did. To get full extension of the legs, I prop my heels over the pegs, lay back and hang on.
